24:41-42

[sharon]

41. “Have you not seen that unto Allah glorifies whosoever is in the heavens and the earth, and the birds with wings outspread (in their flight)? Each one knows its own (mode of) prayer and praise. And Allah is Aware of what they do.”
42. “And unto Allah belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth, and unto Allah is the ultimate return

Assalam alikum I was just wondering when it says (whosoever) 1. are these verses above only talking about living beings like humans jinns animals angles etc or 2. is it talking about non living beings as well like stars planets sun etc and if the answer is 2 then does that mean by verse 24:42 mean that the earth and stars and such be resurrected like us

[sharon]

And when it says they know there own mode of prayer is this talking about only living beings or living and non living beings

peace,

For these types of questions I recommend looking up the verse 24:41 in:
http://corpus.quran.com/

It breaks it down word for word, so you can then study the word in question. In this case it is a relative pronoun "man":

You can then study this, e.g. here:

This word is specific for humans, and it has only this single form for all cases, numbers, and genders.
