who are near your Lord are not prevented by arrogance from His worship, and

Surah Maryam Ayah 58, “They were the ones
upon whom Allah bestowed favors among prophets of the descendants of Adam and
of those We carried (in the ship) with Noah, and the descendants of Ibrahim and
Isra’el, and of those whom We guided and chose. When the Ayahs of the Most
Merciful are recited to them, they fall in prostration and weeping.”
6.
Surah al-Hajj Ayah 18, “Do you not see
that to Allah prostrate whoever is in the heavens and whoever is in the earth,
