Combining the doubt regarding the verse with their acknowledgment of Lordship

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
It was asked: O Shaykh, how did they reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted, "For them is
in doubt, amusing themselves.فِي شَكٍّ يَلْعَبُونَ
[Ad-Dukhan 44:9]
," which refers to His Lordship, with His saying, "And that you know what they created, they do not thank Allah"?

Answer:
Who said there is doubt regarding Lordship? No one said that. The doubt is regarding the message of the Messengers; they doubt the message of the Messengers. As for Allah (Mighty and Majestic) being the Lord of creation, there is no doubt in that.
Can there be doubt about Allah, Creator of the heavens and earth?أَفِي اللَّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
[Ibrahim 14:10]
? There is no doubt. There is no doubt regarding Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The doubt is only regarding the message of the Messengers; they deny the message of the Messengers and cast doubt upon it, casting doubt upon the laws and the religion. Yes.
But they denied the truth when it came to them, so they are in a confused condition.بَلْ كَذَّبُوا بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جَاءَهُمْ فَهُمْ فِي أَمْرٍ مَّرِيجٍ
[Qaf 50:5]
. Yes.
