Abstract
Education stands as a cornerstone of human existence, a tool wielded by prophets to steer individuals towards happiness. Their main endeavor in educating is the transition from polytheism to monotheism. Thus, this inquiry aims to elucidate the Quranic approach to nurturing monotheistic beliefs within the initial ten surahs of the Holy Quran, employing the Tanzeeli interpretation method through a comprehensive library research framework. The Quran's pedagogical framework is designed to cultivate monotheistic understanding in both belief and practice, fostering personal and communal devotion. What sets apart the Quranic method from other research in this field is its profound resonance with human nature, initially reminding humans of their weaknesses such as the worthlessness of their primary material existence and inherent ignorance, thus emphasizing the need for humans to commence their journey with a reverence for the Divine. The Holy Quran employs two educational methods, providing insight and motivational approaches to internalize belief in monotheism. By using commonsense reasoning, it deduces the monotheism inherent in creation and the monotheism of lordship, resulting in the worship of the singular deity (monotheism of worship), and by delving into the attributes of God, weaves together lordship and servitude, presenting a divine worldview by considering the origin of creation, the afterlife, and the validation of prophet hood. Ultimately, through motivational methods and utilizing both threats and enunciation, it focuses on human education. Initially, by describing the fate of the deniers, portraying the characteristics of the Day of Judgment, depicting the state of disbelievers in the hereafter, and illustrating the fate of previous humans, it addresses its audience with threats, then, using the tool of enunciation, it encourages individuals towards embracing monotheism, fostering a deeper connection with the divine.
