Overall meaning : Allah Almighty says: Do these unbelievers who devise evil schemes not see how all things that Allah has created, such as mountains and trees, cast their shadows to the right and to the left, prostrating themselves before Allah in all humility and in absolute submission to His will?
To Allah alone prostrate in absolute submission all living creatures in the heavens and the earth. The angels, too, prostrate to Him in total submission and are never too proud to worship Him. They fear their Lord above them—with His Being, perfect attributes and absolute control—and do whatever they are commanded.
Allah has said to His servants: ‘Do not worship two gods. The only true God worthy of worship is One God; therefore, fear Me alone, do what I command, avoid what I forbid and do not worship anyone besides Me.’ To Allah belongs whatever is in the heavens and the earth, and to Him alone absolute obedience and worship is always due. Will you, then, fear and worship other than Allah?! Whatever apparent and hidden favours and blessings you have are certainly from Allah; and when you are afflicted with hardship, poverty and illness, it is to Him alone that you turn and cry out for help. Then, as soon as He relieves your distress, some among you associate others with their Lord and worship them besides Him, to show ingratitude for the favours We have bestowed upon them (including Our relieving their distress). Enjoy, then, your worldly life only for a short while, for you will come to know the consequences of your unbelief and ungratefulness!
