أَمْ لَهُمْ إِلَهٌ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ ۚ

Or have they a god other than Allah?

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

Glorified be Allah from all that they ascribe as partners.

Affirming Tawhid and annulling the Plots of the Idolators. This is the position where Tawhid of Allah's Lordship and Divinity are affirmed.

Allah the Exalted said,

أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ ﴿٣٥﴾

Or were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators?

Allah asks them, were they created without a maker or did they create themselves? Neither is true. Allah is the One Who created them and brought them into existence after they were nothing.

Al-Bukhari recorded that Jubayr bin Mut`im said,

"I heard the Prophet recite Surah At-Tur in Al-Maghrib prayer and when he reached this Ayah,

أَمْ خُلِقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ شَيْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ الْخَالِقُونَ

أَمْ خَلَقُوا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بَل لَّا يُوقِنُونَ

أَمْ عِندَهُمْ خَزَائِنُ رَبِّكَ أَمْ هُمُ الْمُصَيْطِرُون

Or were they created by nothing? Or were they themselves the creators? Or did they create the heavens and the earth? Nay, but they have no firm belief. Or are with them the treasures of your Lord? Or are they the tyrants with the authority to do as they like?

I felt my heart would fly away.''

This Hadith is collected in the Two Sahihs using various chains of narration.

Jubayr bin Mut`im 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 recite this Ayah was one of the reasons that he later embraced Islam.
