How do animals prostrate themselves as mentioned in Surah Al-Hajj, verse (18)?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Everything in the universe worships Allah, glorifies Him, and prostrates to Him, either by choice or by compulsion, as indicated by the Quranic verses. This prostration is real and befits every creature; it is not necessarily like human prostration. It is evidence of the submission and humility of creatures to Allah and their obedience to His command, even if we do not comprehend its modality.
