All of creation is in submission it is humans that have agency to submit or not. But what does this submission mean? Is it just mechanical obeying of some commands? If this is so then the authenticity of commands comes into question. That would mean all commands are objective and cannot(or should not) have other interpretations.

Another way to understand the idea of submission is to look at what it goes on with other creations and how they are in submission. According to my understanding we have animals that model one type of creation that are more instinctive. Static nature in the world like trees mountains and all which have another way of submission more static waiting for commands from God. And then we have angels that encompass the working of everything in the physical (seen and unseen) world. For me angels are also the little biological proteins that are constantly working in our bodies to get it functioning to every small thing in the universe, which we are yet to discover. Anything the works mechanically to keep the world and up functioning without issue are angels.

In light of this what does submission mean to me? Just like angels have a specific role unique to them each human has a role for her/himself that is connected to the functioning of the world that we are part of. And this role is that of a viceroy of the divine. Finding this unique task and performing it through our live is our way of submission to the divine.
