PRAISE:<br />

13:13 - Nay thunder repeateth His praises and so do the angels with awe: He flingeth the loudvoiced<br />

thunderbolts and therewith He striketh whomsoever He will... Yet these (are the men)<br />

who (dare to) dispute about Allah with the strength of His power (supreme)! 181918201821<br />

1819 Nay, thunder itself, which may frighten you, is but a tame and beneficent force before Him, declaring His praises, like<br />

the rest of creation. THUNDER thus aptly gives the name to this Sura of contrasts, where what we may think terrible is<br />

shown to be really a submissive instrument of good in Allah's hands. (13.13)<br />

1820 And the angels, whom we think to be beautiful creatures of power and glory nearest to Allah, yet feel reverence and<br />

awe even as they praise His holy name. (13.13)<br />

1821 Who is puny man, to call Allah in question? Cf. some variations on this theme in the Book of Job, e.g. chapters 38<br />

to 41. (13.13)<br />

24:41 - Seest thou not that it is Allah Whose praises all beings in the heavens and on earth do<br />

celebrate and the birds (of the air) with wings outspread? Each one knows its own (mode of)<br />

prayer and praise. And Allah knows well all that they do. 30163017<br />

3017 All denizens of the heavens, such as angels, all denizens of the earth (including the waters) such as man, animals,<br />

insects, fishes, etc., and all denizens of the air, such as birds, celebrate the praises of Allah. Each has his own mode<br />

of prayer and praise. It is not necessarily with words, for language (as we know it) is peculiar to man. But actions and<br />

other modes of self-expression recognise and declare the Glory of Allah. (24.41)<br />

38:18 - It was We that made the hills declare in unison with him Our Praises at eventide and at<br />

break of day. 4168<br />

4168 See n. 2733 to xxi. 79. All nature sings in unison and celebrates the praises of Allah. David was given the gift of music<br />

and psalmody, and therefore the hills and birds are expressed as singing Allah's praises in unison with him. The<br />

special hours when the hills and groves echo the songs of birds are in the evening and at dawn, when also the birds<br />

gather together, for those are respectively their roosting hours and the hours of their concerted flight for the day.<br />

(38.18)<br />

41:38 - But if they (Unbelievers) are arrogant (no matter): for in the presence of thy Lord are those<br />

who celebrate His praises by night and by day. And they never flag (nor feel themselves<br />

above it). 4509<br />

4509 It does not in any way affect Allah if men rebel against Him. It is men's own loss. Allah's glory is being celebrated night<br />

and day by angels and men who receive the privilege of approaching His presence. To them it is delight and an<br />

honour to be in the sunshine of Truth and Happiness. (41.38)<br />

2:239 - If ye fear (an enemy) pray on foot or riding (as may be most convenient) but when ye are in<br />

security celebrate Allah's praises in the manner He has taught you which ye knew not<br />

(before). 272<br />

3:191 - Men who celebrate the praises of Allah standing sitting and lying down on their sides and<br />

contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth (with the thought): "Our<br />
