The Holy Quran 17:44 — Surah Al-Isra

Arabic text

تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتُ ٱلسَّبْعُ وَٱلْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِۦ وَلَـٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا

Translation

The seven heavens and earth together with whatever (creation) is within them glorify Him. There is nothing that does not glorify His praises, but you do not understand their glorification (even matter that seems inanimate to us humans glorify Allaah without us realising it). Undoubtedly He is Most Forbearing, Most Forgiving.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Everything glorifies Him: that is, every creature, by tongue or by its state, declares His purity and perfections, but you do not understand it, whether because you do not reflect and ponder, or because you lack the faculty by which the spoken tasbih (glorification) of some creatures can be heard and understood.
