Do the body parts of a disbeliever glorify God, just as the body parts of a Muslim glorify God?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The apparent meaning of the verse: "The seven heavens and the earth and everyone in them glorify Him, and there is nothing but glorifies Him with His praise, but you do not understand their glorification," indicates that the limbs of the disbeliever glorify Allah, as they fall under the generality of the verse. As for the : "When the son of Adam wakes up, all the limbs humble themselves to the tongue..." its meaning is that they submit and humble themselves to it. This is general for all human beings, not specific to Muslims, and its apparent meaning does not indicate that the limbs glorify Allah.
