What are the things that praise Allah

Among the things which praise Allah are:

🔹Angels

The angels are constantly glorifying and praising Allah. Allah says: “To Him belong all those in the heavens and the earth. And those nearest to Him are never too proud to worship Him, nor do they tire. They glorify Him day and night, never wavering.” (21:19-20)

🔹Jinn

The believing Jinn also praise and remember Allah. Jābir (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to his companions and recited Sūrah al-Raḥmān to them from its beginning to its end. They remained silent, so he said: ‘Certainly, I recited it to the Jinn during the Night of the Jinn, and they responded to it better than you. Each time I came to the words of Allah ‘Then which of your Lord’s favours will you both deny?’, they said: ‘We do not deny any of Your favours, our Lord! And for You Alone is all praise and thanks.’’” (Tirmidhī)

🔹Heavens & Earth

Allah says: “Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth glorifies Allah—the King, the Most Holy, the Most Powerful, the All-Wise.” (62:1)

🔹Mountains

The mountains would join Dāwūd (‘alayhis-salām) in praising and glorifying Allah in the morning and evening. (38:18)

🔹Thunder

Even the thunder glorifies Allah: “The thunder glorifies His praises, as do the angels in awe of Him.” (13:13)

🔹Food

ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) said: “We used to eat with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and we would hear the food doing tasbīḥ (glorification).” (Bukhārī)

🔹Fish & Ants

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Indeed Allah, His Angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth – including the ant in its hole and the fish – send ṣalāh (mercy and duʿā’ for blessings) upon the one who teaches good to people.” (Tirmidhī)

🔹Birds

Allah says: “Do you not see that Allah is glorified by all those in the heavens and the earth, even the birds as they spread out their wings? Each of them knows how to pray to Him and glorify Him. And Allah has full knowledge of all they do.” (24:41)

🔹Trees

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ once tore a fresh tree-branch into two, and placed both pieces on two graves in which their inhabitant was getting punished, and then remarked: ‘Perhaps their punishment will be lessened until it becomes dry.” (Bukhārī) The scholars mention that this is due to the tree-branch doing dhikr.
