In the first few verses of Surat Al-Baqarah, Allah is setting the stage in regards to how we should approach the Qur’an.

1) Alif Lam Meem
2) This is the Book in which there is no doubt, a guide for the righteous.
3) Those who believe in the unseen...

It starts with letters that are a mystery to us, then reassures us that this is the book that has no doubt in it, a guidance for those aware of God. You can’t help to then approach the Quran with a sense of humility- like, hey, I don’t know everything, I can’t see everything, and I need Allah to help me navigate all aspects of my life and, most importantly, my faith.

Ya Muqallib Al quloob thabit quloobuna ‘ala deenak-
Oh Turner of Hearts, Keep our hearts steadfast on your religion!
