Transliteration:( Wattayra mahshoorah; kullul lahooo awwaab )
"And the birds assembled [33]; all were obedient to him [34]."
When Hazrat Dawood (peace be upon him) would recite tasbeeh, the birds would gather around him, moved by the beauty of his melodious voice—another of his miracles. They would join in glorifying Allah, swaying in devotion.
This shows the blessing of worshipping in the company of the righteous, where even nature participates.
Just like the mountains and birds were under the command of Dawood, this verse reminds us that all creation obeyed him. Yet the authority of our Prophet ﷺ is even broader—encompassing all creation, reflecting a grander divine favor and leadership.
