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.

Ibn-Kathir

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.

Everything prostrates unto Allah

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,

﴿وَظِلَـلُهُم بِالْغُدُوِّ﴾

(and so do their shadows in the mornings), in the beginning of the days,

﴿وَالاٌّصَالِ﴾

(and in the afternoons.) towards the end of the days. Allah said in another Ayah,

﴿أَوَ لَمْيَرَوْاْ إِلَىخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِن شَىْءٍ يَتَفَيَّأُ﴾

(Have they not observed things that Allah has created: (how) their shadows incline.) ﴿16:48﴾

﴿قُلْ مَن رَّبُّ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضِ قُلِ اللَّهُ قُلْ أَفَاتَّخَذْتُمْ مِّن دُونِهِ أَوْلِيَآءَ لاَ يَمْلِكُونَ لأَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعًا وَلاَ ضَرًّا قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِى الاٌّعْمَى وَالْبَصِيرُ أَمْ هَلْ تَسْتَوِى الظُّلُمَـتُ وَالنُّورُ أَمْ جَعَلُواْ للَّهِ شُرَكَآءَ خَلَقُواْ كَخَلْقِهِ فَتَشَابَهَ الْخَلْقُ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلِ اللَّهُ خَـلِقُ كُلِّ شَىْءٍ وَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّـرُ ﴾

(13:15) All that is in the heavens and the earth prostrates itself, whether willingly or by force,[24] before Allah; and so do their shadows in the morning and in the evening.[25]

Ala-Maududi

(13:15) All that is in the heavens and the earth prostrates itself, whether willingly or by force,^[24] before Allah; and so do their shadows in the morning and in the evening.^[25]

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.

(15) And to Allāh prostrates whoever is within the heavens and the earth, willingly or by compulsion, and their shadows [as well] in the mornings and the afternoons.
