al-shajar: the tree

Translation:

Ayah Tafseer:
And the herbs
Najm may mean stars collectively or herbs collectively, perhaps both meanings are implied
and the trees- both bow in adoration
That is, the stars of the heavens and the trees of the earth, all are subject to Allah's command and obedient to His law. They cannot exceed the rule that has been set for them. What is meant to be impressed in these two verses is that the whole system of the universe has been created by Allah and is functioning in His obedience. Nothing from the earth to the heavens is independent, nor functioning under another's godhead, nor has anyone any share in God's kingdom, nor has anyone the position that it should be made a deity. All are servants and slaves: the Master is One Almighty Lord alone. Hence, Tauheed alone is the truth which is being taught by this Qur'an. Apart from this, any one who is involved in polytheism and denial of God is, in fact, at war with the whole system of the universe.
