Praise for God is transcendence done with awareness as well as wisdom and is intentional. Praise for God suggests His perfection. Veneration also means a high praise which is an optional beautiful act. Commonality between Veneration and Praise in verses is that creatures praise God with properties confined to themselves and limited. But God transcends any limitations. Therefore, praise and veneration for God are used together to denote to the fact that God is away from venerations of venerator and does not need them. The scope of the study is limited to praise of God by only non-sentient creatures of the inanimate objects, plants, and animals. On the surface, it appears that these three categories of creatures lack knowledge and understanding due largely to the fact that the praise for God is limited to human beings, jinn, and angels, and it needs no explanation and is taken for granted by all people. Three main views on the praise are discussed in this study among which the third one is chosen as acceptable view believing that the praise of such creatures are also voluntary, conscious, and true. And several verses of the Quran provide main justification for this issue.

Of great interest to the scholars of ethics and literature has been the concept of speech etiquettes. Speech is one of the voluntary acts of the human beings manifested as a result of his personal motives. The purpose of dealing with speech etiquettes is to provide rules for the proper form of contemplation and subsequently rules for elegant speech. There is an interrelated relationship between the two; as one with elegant thoughts puts his thoughts into elegant words. The present study deals with the significance of speech and the manner of articulation in the view of the holy Quran, the relationship between speech and one's inner character, as well as the major rules and etiquettes of speech from the perspective of the Quran and traditions.
