Transliteration:( Wa lillaahi yasjudu man fis samaawaati wal ardi taw 'anw wa karhanw wa zilaaluhum bilghuduwwi wal aasaal (make sajda) )
41. The believers prostrate with joy while the hypocrites do it unwillingly. From this, we learn that performing Salaah indolently is a sign of hypocrisy.Â
42. In that everyone's shadow in the morning moves towards the west, and in the evening towards the east. The movement of the shadow is found on obedience to Allah Almighty. Or, it could mean that the shadow of everyone in reality recites the praise of Allah Almighty. Thus if any person who does not do. this is worse than the shadow.

15. And unto Allah falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth, willingly or unwillingly, and so do their shadows in the mornings and in the afternoons.
Allah affirms His might and power, for He has full control over everything, and everything is subservient to Him. Therefore, everything, including the believers, prostrate to Allah willingly, while the disbelievers do so unwillingly,
(and so do their shadows in the mornings), in the beginning of the days,
(and in the afternoons.) towards the end of the days. Allah said in another Ayah,
(Have they not observed things that Allah has created: (how) their shadows incline.) ï´¿16:48ï´¾
24. “And to Allah falls in prostration whoever is in the heavens and the earth†in the same sense that every creation of His has to obey and submit to His Physical law in every detail. The only difference between the submission of a believer and an unbeliever is that the former submits to it with a willing heart while the latter is forced to do so against his will, for it is absolutely beyond his power to oppose it.
25. “Their shadows†in the sense that they fall to the west in the morning and to the cast in the evening and so on. This shows that they, too, have to submit to some law.
