Surah Al Isra ayat 44 Tafsir Quran 17:44

﴿تُسَبِّحُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَالْأَرْضُ وَمَن فِيهِنَّ ۚ وَإِن مِّن شَيْءٍ إِلَّا يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَلَٰكِن لَّا تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ۗ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا﴾
[ الإسراء: 44]

17:44 The seven heavens and the earth and whatever is in them exalt Him. And there is not a thing except that it exalts [Allah] by His praise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.

The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein proclaim His praise they affirm His transcendence. And there is not a thing among things created but proclaims enwrapped in His praise in other words everything says subhāna’Llāh wa-bi-hamdihi ‘Glory and praise be to God’; but you do not understand their glorification because it is not proclaimed in your language. Lo! He is Forbearing Forgiving for He does not hasten to bring about your punishment.

The seven heavens and the earth and all animate and inanimate beings therein praise His glory and extoll His glorious attributes. There is not one single creature but displays outward and visible signs of an inward and spiritual grace reflecting Allahs Omnipotence and Exclusive Authority, but you -infidels- do not apprehend their way of ascribing His glory. Indeed, He has always been Halimun (Forbearing) and Ghafurun (Forgiving)

Everything glorifies Allah Allah says: the seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, meaning the creatures that dwell therein, sanctify Him, exalt Him, venerate Him, glorify Him and magnify Him far above what these idolators say, and they bear witness that He is One in His Lordship and Divinity.
In everything there is a sign of Allah indicating that He is One.
As Allah says: تَكَادُ السَّمَـوَتُ يَتَفَطَّرْنَ مِنْهُ وَتَنشَقُّ الاٌّرْضُ وَتَخِرُّ الْجِبَالُ هَدّاً - أَن دَعَوْا لِلرَّحْمَـنِ وَلَداً ( Whereby the heavens are almost torn, and the earth is split asunder, and the mountains fall in ruins, That they ascribe child to the Most Beneficent ) ( 19:90-91 ). وَإِن مِّن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ يُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدَهِ ( and there is not a thing but glorifies His praise. ) there is no created being that does not celebrate the praises of Allah. وَلَـكِن لاَّ تَفْقَهُونَ تَسْبِيحَهُمْ ( But you understand not their glorification. ) means, `You do not understand them, O mankind, because it is not like your languages.' This applies to all creatures generally, animal, inanimate and botanical.
This is the better known of the two opinions according to the most reliable of two opinions.
It was reported in Sahih Al-Bukhari that Ibn Mas`ud said: "We used to hear the Tasbih of the food as it was being eaten.
" Imam Ahmad recorded that Mu`adh bin Anas said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came upon some people who were sitting on their mounts and talking to one another.
He said to them:
«ارْكَبُوهَا سَالِمَةً وَدَعُوهَا سَالِمَةً، وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوهَا كَرَاسِيَّ لِأَحَادِيثِكُمْ فِي الطُّرُقِ وَالْأَسْوَاقِ، فَرُبَّ مَرْكُوبَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رَاكِبِهَا، وَأَكْثَرُ ذِكْرًااِللهِ مِنْه»
( Ride them safely then leave them safely.
Do not use them as chairs for you to have conversations in the streets and marketplaces, because the one that is ridden may be better than the one who rides it, and may remember Allah more than he does. ) An-Nasa'i recorded in his Sunan that `Abdullah bin `Amr said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from killing frogs." إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا ( Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. ) means, He does not hasten to punish those who disobey Him, rather He gives them time and waits, then if they persist in their stubborn Kufr, He seizes them with a punishment of the All-Mighty, All-Capable.
It was recorded in the Two Sahihs that:
«إِنَّ اللهَ لَيُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْه»
( Allah will let the wrongdoer carry on until, when He does seize him, He will never let him go. ) Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited: وَكَذلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِىَ ظَـلِمَةٌ ( Such is the punishment of your Lord when He seizes the (population of ) towns while they are doing wrong.
) 11:02 Allah says: وَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَمْلَيْتُ لَهَا وَهِىَ ظَـلِمَةٌ ( And many a township did I give respite while it was given to wrongdoing. ) 22:45 until the end of two Ayat. فَكَأَيِّن مِّن قَرْيَةٍ أَهْلَكْنَـهَا وَهِىَ ظَالِمَةٌ ( And many a township did We destroy while they were given to wrongdoing. ) 22:48 Whoever gives up his disbelief and disobedience, and turns back to Allah in repentance, Allah will accept his repentance, as He says: وَمَن يَعْمَلْ سُوءاً أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ ( And whoever does evil or wrongs himself but afterwards seeks Allah's forgiveness ) 4:110 Here, Allah says: إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيمًا غَفُورًا ( Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving. ) At the end of Surah Fatir, He says: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ أَن تَزُولاَ وَلَئِن زَالَتَآ إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِّن بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كَانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً ( Verily, Allah grasps the heavens and the earth lest they should move away from their places, and if they were to move away from their places, there is not one that could grasp them after Him.
Truly, He is Ever Most Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving... ) until His saying; وَلَوْ يُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ النَّاسَ ( And if Allah were to punish men )( 35:41-45 )

(17:44) The seven heavens and the Earth and all the things therein *48 are chanting hymns of His glory *49 along with His praise but you do not understand their hymns. The fact is that He is very Forbearing and Forgiving. *50

The seven heavens and the earth and meaning

*48)
That is, " The whole of the universe and everything in it bear witness to the fact that their Creator and Guardian is free from each and every fault, defect and weakness, and that He is far above this that there should be any partner or associate in His Godhead.

*49) Everything is not only singing hymns of the glory of its Creator but is affording the proof that He is perfect in every respect and worthy of aII praise.
Everything is an embodiment of the proof that its Creator and Administrator is the one in whom there is perfection of every quality.
Therefore, He alone is worthy of praise.

*50) That is, "It is due to His forbearance and forgiveness that though you are persistently insolent to Him and go on inventing one false thing or the other against Him, He forbears and forgives you,.
He neither withholds provisions from you nor deprives you of His favours nor strikes an insolent person instantly dead with a thunderbolt.
Above alI, He is so forbearing and forgiving that He gives long enough respite to the individuals and communities to mend their ways, sends His prophets and reformers for their admonition and guidance and forgives aII the past mistakes and errors, if one sincerely repents and adopts the Right way.

( The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein ) of created beings ( praise Him, and there is not a thing ) among plants ( but hymneth his praise ) His command; ( but ye understand not their praise ) you do not understand the language in which it is said. ( Lo! He is ever Clement ) with His servants since He does not hasten punishment on them, ( Forgiving ) of those who repent.

The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify Him and there is not a thing but glorifies His Praise. But you understand not their glorification. Truly, He is Ever Forbearing, Oft-Forgiving.
