Commentary 17:44 Tasbîhتسبِيح is to extol the Glory of the Lord. The word is used with regard to Allâh’s Attributes. His glorification is to be free from all…
تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ
17:44 Tasbîhتسبِيح is to extol the Glory of the Lord. The word is used with regard to Allâh’s Attributes. His glorification is to be free from all imperfections. The whole universe is declaring Him free from every imperfection and impurity, and from anything that is derogatory to His dignity. Everything that exists glorifies Him in ways that we cannot understand. This glorification comes from the fact that the entire cosmos is flawless and perfect in its structure, chained together under Divine Law; the laws of nature are none other than the Will of Allâh. These laws are unalterable. Objects in nature stand in complementary relation to each other. They combine with each other in a fixed proportion to create new things. We human beings have not created anything new that was not already in existence. The whole universe is in a measured order, and everything in it follows a course that comes from Allâh. Nature discloses regularity, precision, punctuality, knowledge, power, command, intellect, pre-ordination, pre-arrangement, precaution and other features that show that the Creator is free from every imperfection and impurity, and from everything derogatory to His dignity. By discharging its allotted task, and by fulfiling the object for which it has been created, every created thing declares Allâh free from every defect and imperfection. This is the real significance of Tasbîh.
