On Which Subjects Have Arguments Been Presented in the Quran?
In this Quran, arguments have been presented in various ways regarding the Oneness of Allah, the occurrence of the Day of Resurrection and the Hereafter, the rationality of reward and punishment, the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, the refutation of polytheism, the helplessness and neediness of fabricated deities, and the fate of previous disobedient nations. And these arguments are such that everyone can understand them, and can observe them in the external universe and within their own inner world. And everywhere, they are presented with new and unique styles of reasoning, and they are so numerous that they are more than sufficient for a seeker of guidance. But these people have adopted such a path of stubbornness and obstinacy that every argument has the opposite effect on them. In this way, their disbelief only increases.
