Ayat 19. To Him belongs whosoever is in the heavens and on
earth. And those who are near Him (i.e. the angels) are not too proud to worship
Him, nor are they weary (of His worship).
Ayat 20.
They (i.e. the angels) glorify His Praises night and day, (and) they never
slacken (to do so).
Ayat 21.
Or have they taken (for worship) âliha (gods) from the earth who
raise the dead?
[Tafseer]
To Him belong all (creatures)
in the heavens and on earth: Even those who are in His (very) Presence are
not(2679) too proud to serve Him, nor are they (ever) weary (of His service):
The pure angelic
hosts, whom we imagine to be glorious creatures of light, high in the spiritual
world, near the Throne of Allah Himself, are yet His creatures, and serve Him
without ceasing, and are proud to do so. Such is the majesty of Allah Most
High. They
celebrate His praises night and day, nor do they ever flag or
intermit. Or have they taken (for worship) gods from the earth who can
raise (the dead)? The different kinds of false gods whom people raise from their
imagination are now referred to. In verses 21-23, the reference is to the gods
of the earth, whether idols or local godlings, or deified heroes, or animals or
trees or forces of the nature around us, which men have from time to time
worshipped. These, as deities, have not life except what their worshippers give
them. The answer of course is "no". No one but Allah can raise the dead to
life. The miracle in the story of Jesus (3:49 and 5:112-115) was "by Allah's
leave' 1 . It was a miracle of Allah, not one of Jesus by his own power or
will.
Hazrat Abu Dharr
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "I
see what you do not see and I hear what you do not hear; heaven has squeaked,
and it has right to do so. By Him, in Whose Hand my soul is, there is not a
space of four fingers in which there is not an angel who is prostrating his
forehead before Allah, the Exalted. By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would
laugh little, weep much, and you would not enjoy women in beds, but would go out
to the open space beseeching Allah". [At-Tirmidhi Hadith #
2312]
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Anbiya' Ayat 19."Him (i.e. the angels)
are not too proud to worship Him" This Hadith also highlights the importance of fear of Allah because the
more awareness a Muslim has of the Majesty and Magnificence of Allah, the
greater shall be the terror in his heart for His punishment and hope of His
Mercy. With this state of mind, he will perform greater acts of obedience and
abstain more rigidly from sins.
2. The Hadith also
mentions the heaven teeming with angels who are all the time prostrating before
Allah in worship. When this is the condition of the angels, who do not slack for
a moment in the obedience of Allah, how important it is for man to worship Him
because he is all the time violating commands of Allah. It is, therefore,
incumbent on man to obey Allah and always seek His Help and
Refuge.
