تَسْبِيح
This verse invites us to contemplate creation glorifying Allah.
أَلَمۡ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُسَبِّحُ لَهُۥ مَن فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَٱلطَّيۡرُ صَـٰٓفَّـٰتٖۖ كُلّٞ قَدۡ عَلِمَ صَلَاتَهُۥ وَتَسۡبِيحَهُۥۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمُۢ بِمَا يَفۡعَلُونَ
Do you not see that Allah is exalted by whomever is within the heavens and the earth and [by] the birds with wings spread [in flight]? Each [of them] has known his [means of] prayer and exalting [Him], and Allah is Knowing of what they do.
Quran, An-Nur 24:41
This verse teaches us that all creation, from the heavens to the earth, glorifies Allah. Birds, spreading their wings, join in this praise. Each being has its own way of praying and glorifying Allah, and Allah knows all that they do. We can join this universal praise by meditating on the nature around us and saying phrases of glorification like 'SubhanAllah' (Glory be to Allah).
Today, take a minute to observe an element of creation (a bird, a tree, the sky) and say 'SubhanAllah' while reflecting on its beauty.
