Some reasons why Quran is so persuasive (to many people)

[Mystic]

One reason I think people are often persuaded by Quran is the emphasis it has constantly that the other side is blind, deaf, and dumb. It makes you question if the reason why you don't believe, is due to your own blindness. Along with that is the severe condemnation of disbelievers, degrading their humanity. The amount of times Quran condemns disbelievers to hell surpasses any other subject including the oneness of God. There is nothing repeated more then it. This makes the person really not want disbelieve in Islam while not knowing for SURE it is wrong. A lot of people won't really find reasons to be sure the religion is not correct. They are emotionally in turmoil now. A long with this, is that they have been persuaded to a degree emotionally. Not intellectually, but emotionally, they find themselves wanting to be on the RIGHT side. The side of belief. They want to be with believers. That want is a powerful feeling. With the Suratal Fatiha read, they also feel the want to be guided by God. The book emphasizes there is no doubt that this the guidance of God. Along with that, is high praise for believers. There is also the repeated stories of Prophets being rejected by their people, and want not to be like those people rejecting miracles. The notion people would like to believe, is that if they were in the position of the Pharaoh that Moses went to, they would've believed seeing the miracles. They then feel being a disbeliever is like being like the followers of Pharaoh. Although there is no rational argument to believe so, the Quran is appealing to their emotion. Constant emotional pressure to believe, and people cave in. Without being certain Islam is wrong, the emotional response often then is to believe. This pressure is through out Quran, over and over again, none stop. It's an essential essence of most Surahs.
