Nothing Is Silent: Stones, Mountains, and Emotions Speak

🔊 Nothing Is Silent: Stones, Mountains, and Emotions Speak

“The seven heavens, the earth, and all that is in them glorify Him. There is nothing that does not glorify Him with praise. But you do not understand their glorification…”
(Al-Isrā 17:44)

The Qur’an tells us that every part of the universe has a language. Stone, soil, sky, mountains, wind… None of them are silent. All of them speak; all of them glorify. This sound is a call for the one who hears and knowledge for the one who understands. The Qur’an unveils this silent language: intiq (speech). For silence is not absence; it is often the loudest voice of truth.

🌍 The Earth and the Heavens: The Heavy Language of Responsibility

“We offered the Trust to the heavens, the earth, and the mountains, but they refused to bear it and were afraid of it. Yet man undertook it…”
(Al-Ahzāb 33:72)

The heavens, earth, and mountains… They are not just a stage but witnesses. They too speak: “This burden is too heavy for us.” Their reaction shows they are not unconscious but entities that respond in the face of will and responsibility.

🔥 Hellfire: A Place That Protests

“We will ask Hell, ‘Are you full?’ It will say, ‘Are there any more?’”
(Qāf 50:30)

Even Hell speaks. It marvels at humanity’s injustice and excesses. It is not merely a place of torment but a divine witness raising its voice against oppression.

🏔 Mountains and Earth: Moving and Speaking Witnesses

“You see the mountains and think they are firmly fixed, but they will pass as the passing of clouds…”
(An-Naml 27:88)
“That Day, the earth will tell its news because your Lord has inspired it to do so.”
(Az-Zalzalah 99:4–5)

Mountains move, and the earth speaks. Every step of a human being, every trace, is recorded. One day, the mark of prostration and the weight of injustice alike will speak. No footprint will remain silent.

🌿 Nature and Animals: The Forgotten Chorus of Praise

“Do you not see that everyone in the heavens and the earth glorifies Allah—even the birds in rows? Each knows its prayer and its glorification.”
(An-Nūr 24:41)

The universe is like a divine orchestra, praising Allah. The chirping of birds, the crashing of waves, the whistling of the wind… All are acts of remembrance, all are glorifications. Yet humanity has turned a deaf ear to this universal symphony.

👁‍🗨 Angels and Iblis: The Voices Within

“Will You place upon it one who causes corruption and sheds blood?”
(Al-Baqarah 2:30)

This is not just the angels’ voice but resembles the voice of conscience and questioning within us.

“I am better than him. You created me from fire and him from clay.”
(Al-Aʿrāf 7:12)

Iblis is the voice of arrogance, racism, and the desire for superiority within us. It speaks. And this voice travels with us until the Day of Judgment (Al-Aʿrāf 7:14–15). For this trial is about decoding the languages within.
