To understand this matter, it is important to learn that everything in the world is alive with understanding and keeps perception.

Almighty Allaah says:

“And there is nothing, but which Glorifies Him with His praise, and but you do not understand their glorification.”

(Al Qur’aan, chapter Al Israa, verse 44)

It is learnt from this holy verse that everything reads the Praise [Tasbeeh] of Almighty Allaah. Moreover, the one who is doing the glorification, until he does not have the understanding of this action that he has One Creator. And all His attributes are His Qualities and He is Pure and Free from all defects. The one doing the Glorification is not sincere in doing this Glorification [Tasbeeh].
