*Knowing & Believing*

Allah ﷻ says in Surah Tur

*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 do they possess the treasuries of your Lord, or are they in control ˹of everything˺?_

[52:37]

_

Jubair Ibn Mut'im رضي الله عنه went to the Messenger of Allah after the battle of Badr to ransom the captured idolators. At that time, he was still an idolator. Hearing the Prophet ﷺ recite this Ayah was one of the reasons that he later embraced 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.

_

*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,

_

*Contemplate over your creation!*

Allah ﷻ says in the Qur'an:

*أَلَمۡ يَكُ نُطۡفَةٗ مِّن مَّنِيّٖ يُمۡنَىٰ*

_Had he not been a sperm from semen emitted?_

[75:37] 

Meaning, was not man a weak drop of sperm from a despised fluid known as semen, that is emitted from the loins into the wombs. 

*سبحان الله*

_

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. 

Allah ﷻ says about the believers:

*إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ ٱلَّذِينَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ ٱللَّهُ وَجِلَتۡ قُلُوبُهُمۡ وَإِذَا تُلِيَتۡ عَلَيۡهِمۡ ءَايَٰتُهُۥ زَادَتۡهُمۡ إِيمَٰنٗا وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّهِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ*

_The believers are only those who, when Allah is mentioned, their hearts become fearful, and when His verses are recited to them, it increases them in faith; and upon their Lord they rely -_

[8:2]

Ask yourself whether you have reached this level of Imaan

_

Knowing and Believing have to be together! 

We say we know and believe

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
