Abstract

One of the most important and controversial issues of ontology, which has always been the subject of controversy and debate among theologians, philosophers and mystics and even researchers of experimental sciences, is the issue of "life, consciousness, love and praise in all levels of existence" which has a profound and wide impact on human thought and behavior. In this descriptive-analytical study based on the teachings of the Quran, hadiths, supplications, as well as rational, argumentative and Islamic mystical evidences, we show that the whole existence and its levels, including the level of Nasut (realm of physical bodies) have life, knowledge and will as much as their existential talent and capacity. In addition to glorifying God in the language of talent and state, they also glorify and praise the Almighty verbally, which is the main issue of this article. The scope of the study of the glorification of beings is only unconscious beings i.e. inanimate objects, plants, and animals, which apparently lack knowledge, perception, and verbal glorification. The chosen opinion in this research believes in the voluntary, conscious and linguistic nature of the glorification of the above creatures (of course, in the specific language of each creature), to which the perception and speech mentioned in the Quran and hadiths refer.
