TOTAL SUBMISSION

~ 39 ~ so that no part of him, whether mental or physical, should in any way flout His will. WORSHIP OF GOD The Qur’an tells us that all things in the universe worship and glorify God (24:41). The very birds chirping in the green boughs of the trees seem to sing songs in praise of their Creator and Sustainer. The trees, when they cast their shadows on the earth, seem to have lain prostrate before their Creator. The sun, when it sends down its beautiful rays to earth after the darkness of night, seems to express the thought: ‘Glorified be the One who is the source of all light. Should He choose to extinguish it, darkness would engulf the entire universe.’ It is this very same formula which man is called upon to follow. Overwhelmed with gratitude for God’s munificence, he must also give expression to his devotion by singing the glories of his Lord; remembrance of God should become the richest treasure of his life, and devotion to Him should become a life-long vocation.
