Al-Hajj 22:18

Word by word

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُۥ مَن فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَن فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱلشَّمْسُ وَٱلْقَمَرُ وَٱلنُّجُومُ وَٱلْجِبَالُ وَٱلشَّجَرُ وَٱلدَّوَآبُّ وَكَثِيرٌ مِّنَ ٱلنَّاسِ ۖ وَكَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْعَذَابُ ۗ وَمَن يُهِنِ ٱللَّهُ فَمَا لَهُۥ مِن مُّكْرِمٍ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَآءُ ۩

Do you not see [i.e., know] that to Allāh prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth and the sun, the moon, the stars, the mountains, the trees, the moving creatures and many of the people? But upon many the punishment has been justified. And he whom Allāh humiliates - for him there is no bestower of honor. Indeed, Allāh does what He wills.

ألم تعلم- أيها الرسول- أن الله سبحانه يسجد له خاضعًا منقادًا مَن في السموات من الملائكة ومَن في الأرض من المخلوقات والشمس والقمر والنجوم والجبال والشجر والدواب؟ ولله يسجد طاعة واختيارًا كثير من الناس، وهم المؤمنون، وكثير من الناس حق عليه العذاب فهو مهين، وأيُّ إنسان يهنه الله فليس له أحد يكرمه. إن الله يفعل في خلقه ما يشاء وَفْقَ حكمته.
