قال يا ايها الملا ايكم ياتيني بعرشها قبل ان ياتوني مسلمين

قَالَ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلْمَلَؤُا۟ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِينِى بِعَرْشِهَا قَبْلَ أَن يَأْتُونِى مُسْلِمِينَ

'But the one who had knowledge of the Scripture...' 

These ayat remind me that knowledge of the Scripture is empowering. 

The one without the knowledge of the Scripture boasts of his power: ''I can bring it to you before you rise from this council of yours. And I am quite strong and trustworthy for this ˹task˺.'' What he promises is quite impressive. However, the one with knowledge of the Scripture simply says: 'I can bring it to you in the blink of an eye.' and gets the job done. 

It's interesting to reflect on the difference between one who has knowledge of the Scripture and one who does not. How does knowledge of the Scripture empower you? How does it inspire you to do your best?

To me, the knowledge of the scripture empowers us because it shows the Baraka that Allah places on our efforts when we embody knowledge of scripture when we seek to do things in this life.
