Allah ﷻ says 

*أَمْ خُلِقُواْ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَـلِقُونَ*

_Or were they created by nothing Or were they themselves the creators_

[52:35]

Allah ﷻ asks them, yet Neither is true. Allah ﷻ is the One Who created them and brought them into existence after they were nothing. 

_

*أَمْ خَلَقُواْ السَّمَـوَتِ وَالاٌّرْضَ بَل لاَّ يُوقِنُونَ*

_Or did they create the heavens and the earth Nay, but they are not certain._

[52:36]

Allah ﷻ is asking, yet They knew that Allah ﷻ Alone is the Creator without partners with Him. 

But they weren't firm in this knowledge and belief and fell into Shirk.

_

*أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَآئِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ الْمُسَيْطِرُونَ*

_Or have they the depositaries of your Lord, or are they the controllers_

[52:37]

_

*Contemplate over yourselves!*

The Vast Expanse of the worlds, nothing you ever amount to will give you complete knowledge of the creation of Allah ﷻ,

The King of All Kings, and The All Knowing of All Things.

_

*Contemplate over your creation!*

A weak being with continuous needs, provided for and sustained by The Sustainer and The Provider! 

Such is Allah ﷻ!

So is it not time for us to submit? 

_

Jubair Ibn Mut'im رضي الله عنه heard these Ayaat as a Mushrik and he describes how his heart was affected! 

He later accepted Islam.

Just look how the Qur'an affected them even in Disbelief! 

_

They KNEW but they didn't BELIEVE.

*We BELIEVE yet we do not KNOW.*

_

And if we Believed and Knew, we would never be away from Allah ﷻ.

_

In another Hadith,

Prophet ﷺ recited Surah Najm before the biggest Mushrikeen of Qur'aysh, the entire Surah!

Many of us would get tired and turn it off or stop concentrating after a page,

Yet when he ﷺ reached the Sajdah at the end, He Prostrated and the hearts of the disbelievers compelled them to prostrate!

[Sahih Bukhari]

Such is the Kalam of Allah ﷻ! 

_

We need to soften our hearts with the Qur'an, it does not befit a Believer, that He hears Ayaat and He does not feel affected by the Majesty of the words and its meaning.

Regardless of whether he understands! 

_

Knowing and Believing have to be together! 

We say امنا! امنا! 

But we act as if we don't know Jannah exists, Jahannam exists!

_

So recite more and try to connect with the Kalam of Allah ﷻ and to understand the meaning of what you recite.

_

May Allah ﷻ increase us in knowledge and grant us goodness in both the worlds

*آمِيْن يَارَبَّ الْعَالَمِينْ*
