prostration unto Allah, and they are lowly?

Commentary
Yata-fayya-‘u –
(they incline), origin of this word is fai-‘un. Fai-‘un means
– the shadows which incline after post meridian.
Zilaaluhuu –
(their shadows), this word is plural of zillun. Zillun means
– a shadow which is during anti meridian. The same shadow becomes fai-‘un after
post meridian.
Daakhiruun –
(lowly, humble, mean), it is plural of daakhir, which is the
subject and have been derived from the word Dakhara. Dakhara means
– obeying someone else being helpless. A word which has the same meaning,
is saagiruuna, has passed in Suratut-Tawbah.
It has been commanded in this
verse: O heedless people! Have you ever seen to the shadow? The shadow of
everything rises in the morning and then it begins to decrease. It firms in the
meridian and then when the sun begins to set, it begins to incline again. In
all such conditions it lies down on the earth. Sometimes it moves to the right
and sometimes to the left. Its forehead lasts every time before Allah Almighty.
Is it not sufficient to cause
to know the people that even this shadow too does not turn away a little from
the Divine Law? Moreover, the things, shadows of which make prostration in
obedience of Allah Almighty, are helpless before Him. And those things are
unable to slide hither or thither even a little from His that Law, which He has
fixed for them. Is this lowly and baseness not a proof of the Existence of
Allah Almighty Who is the Strongest and Omnipotent? Concluding only this by
looking the things that “these are for our eating, these places are for our
living and these are ready to serve us” is our foolishness. We have to know
Allah Almighty by reflecting into them.
