Answer:

 

Clouds trees worship of Allah

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

 

I heard one very nice schloar quoting frm that every thign does the tasbeeh of ALlah ta`aala so,there might be diffrent ways of the tsbeeh of the craetures of Allah subhanahu.

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 22 Surah Hajj verse 18:

18      Seest thou not that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth: the sun, the moon, the stars, the hills, the trees, the animals, and a great number among mankind? But a great number (amongst mankind) are (also) such as are fit for punishment: and such as Allah shall disgrace none can rise to honor: for Allah carries out all that He Wills.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 59 Surah Hashr verse 24:

24      He is Allah: The Creator, The Evolver, The Bestower of Forms.  To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names: Whatever is in the heavens and on earth doth declare His Praises and His Glory: and He is The Exalted in Might, The Wise.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah Israa verse 44:

44      The seven heavens and the earth, and all beings therein declare His Glory: there is not a thing but celebrates His Praise; and yet ye understand not how they declare His Glory! Verily He is Oft- Forbearing Most Forgiving!

 

Your Question: I read one question here and it incuded th topic thats aid that trees prostrating ,and clouds were forming the name of ALlah and Prophet MOhammed(sallahu alaihi wasallam).
I was a bit suprised to see you not aacepting it

Respected brother in Islam, Allah is our witness brother, we do unconditionally believe in every Word of the Lord Most High in the Glorious Quran….and Allah is our witness brother, we do not need to see a photograph or witness with our own eyes before we declare belief in the fact that there is not a thing in the heavens or the earth which does not celebrate the Praise and Glory of our Lord Most Majestic, Most Supreme! 

 

The Signs of The Absolute Perfection and the Sole Dominion of the Lord Creator are innumerable and embossed in every object of His Creation…..and one does not need to hold the declaration of one’s belief until one sees a tree prostrating, or a cloud forming the name of Allah and His Messenger (saws)!!!

 

Thus my beloved brother, it is not that we do not accept that everything in creation worships The One and Only Lord, Creator and Sustainer of the Worlds….but we only professed our reservation at the authenticity of the photographs and evidence presented. 

 

What if tomorrow one who believes in a religion other than Islam presents a photograph of a tree or a cloud in the formation of a ‘Cross’ or in the image of one of their ‘deities’…..should that be accepted as a sign that their religion is on the Straight Path only on the pretext of their provided photograph!!!!

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 45 Surah Jathiyah verses 3-5:

3        Verily in the heavens and the earth are Signs for those who believe.

4        And in the creation of yourselves and the fact that animals are scattered (through the earth) are Signs for those of assured Faith.

5        And in the alternation of Night and Day and the fact that Allah sends down sustenance from the sky and revives therewith the earth after its death and the change of the winds are Signs for those that are wise.

 

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 30 Surah Rome verses 20-26:

20      Among His Signs is this that He created you from dust; and then behold ye are men scattered (far and wide)!

21      And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.

22      And among His Signs is the creation of the heavens and the earth and the variations in your languages and your colors: verily in that are Signs for those who know.

23      And among His Signs is the sleep that ye take by night and by day and the quest that ye (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are Signs for those who hearken.

24      And among His Signs He shows you the lightning by way both of fear and of hope and He sends down rain from the sky and with it gives life to the earth after it is dead: verily in that are Signs for those who are wise.

25      And among His Signs is this that heaven and earth stand by His Command: then when He Calls you by a single call from the earth behold ye (straightway) come forth.

26      To Him belongs every being that is in the heavens and on earth: all are devoutly obedient to Him.

 

If Allah Willed, it is well within His Powers to make every cloud and every tree and absolutely everything in creation declare His Praise and His Glory aloud so that all of mankind would hear them!!! 

If the Lord Most Supreme Willed, He could stamp and emboss on the forehead of every son of Adam to ‘obey Allah and His Last Messenger (saws)’!!!

 

But that is not the Sunnah or the Way of Allah Subhanah….for if such clear and manifest Signs or Miracles are shown by The Lord Most Majestic, the very test which the Lord has, in His Perfect and Absolute Wisdom, chosen to involve mankind in: ie. to study His innumerable Signs in creation and recognize Him in the ‘unseen’ would be abrogated to say the least!!! 

 

It is indeed surprising that one chooses all their lives to overlook and disregard the absolutely overwhelming and innumerable Signs which the Lord Most High has put in everything in His creation…..and starts searching for a cloud which forms the name of Allah and His Messenger (saws); or a tree which forms the prostration of a believer in prayer!!!!  Why…only the other day I was sent a photograph whereby a person cut a ‘tomato’ in half, and the name of Allah seemed to appear inside the vegetable!!!  Or the photograph which was published in our local newspaper where the scales of a fish caught seemed to be in a formation of the name of Allah in Arabic!!!! 

 

We ask again brother…what if tomorrow one who believes in a religion other than Islam presents a photograph of a cloud or a tree in the formation of a ‘Cross’….should that be taken as evidence that Christianity is the right religion??? 

 

Or what if (as happened a few years ago!) tears appeared to drop from the eyes of the statue of what they claim to be of the ‘baby Jesus (a.s.)’ in New York and shown to millions of viewers on all the major news channels in the USA…. should that be taken as evidence that Christianity is the right religion??? 

 

Or what if (as happened a few years ago!) one of their self-invented deity of half-man/half-elephant is shown on prime time TV in India drinking milk …should that be taken as evidence that Hinduism is the right religion???

 

The believers who sincerely believe in Allah and the Last Day are more than satisfied to ponder over the innumerable Signs the Lord has placed in everything in creation…..and in the Guidance of their Lord and His Messenger (saws) alone have they placed their unconditional belief.

 

If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),   one can be assured of never ever being misled;   but if one believes, obeys and follows any other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be assured of being led astray.  

 

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone.  Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

 

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,
