* تفسير Tafsir al-Jalalayn

{ وَلِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَا فِي ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِي ٱلأَرْضِ مِن دَآبَّةٍ وَٱلْمَلاۤئِكَةُ وَهُمْ لاَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ }

And to God prostrates whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth of living creatures that is of every single thing that moves thereupon; in other words to Him it everything is subservient in terms of what is required of it — most of what is given by way of example is non-rational since these are the more numerous — and the angels also prostrate — these are singled out for mention because of their merit — and they are not arrogant they do not disdain to worship Him.
