Hadees

Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) has given inanimate objects awareness & perception by which they glorify their Lord. The stones fall down out of fearof Him. The mountains & trees prostrate. The pebbles, water & plants glorify Him. All this is goingon but we are not aware ofit. Allah the Great says: •►"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 Hispraise, but you do not understand their [way of] exalting. Indeed, He is ever Forbearing and Forgiving.” (Surah Al Isra 17:44)
The companions heard the food that was being eaten glorifying Allah. That was because the companions had a transparency of heartthat does not now exist among us. All these things are part of our world and yet we are in complete ignorance of them.*SubhanAllah*
