Do inanimate objects feel and perceive, especially since they glorify Allah? And does their perception continue after they transform, such as a chair that was once a tree?

Scholars have differed on whether inanimate objects have senses and feelings or not. Al-Qurtubi, Ibn Kathir, and others are of the view that they possess a perception and feeling appropriate to them, citing Quranic verses and prophetic hadiths that describe inanimate objects as glorifying, fearing, prostrating, and speaking. They refute those who consider this to be metaphorical, stating that Allah creates this attribute within them. Therefore, there is no justification for concern over these inanimate objects, whether it is said that they have a special feeling of their own or not, for Allah created them and subjected them to man for his benefit.
