Do animals, including pigs and geckos which we are commanded to kill, glorify Allah Almighty, in confirmation of His saying: "And there is not a thing but glorifies His praise"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The apparent meaning of the verses indicates that everything created by Allah glorifies Him with His praise, and this includes all creatures, including animals, plants, and inanimate objects. Each creature has its own unique way of glorifying Him. This is the doctrine of the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (Sunni Muslims), and it has been affirmed by Ikrimah, Al-Nakha'i, Ibn Kathir, Al-Baghawi, and Al-Qurtubi.
