How to profoundly change the beliefs of the polytheists of the age of revelation, from the stubborn denial of the resurrection to the certainty of the Hereafter and the acceptance of death in the way of God, is a question worthy of attention. The arrangement of the central verses about the resurrection according to the order of revelation leads to the achievement of the process of this transformation and the specific Qur'anic method in institutionalizing the belief in the resurrection in the souls of the Arabs. Accordingly, this study has achieved the process of transformation of the Holy Quran in the dimension of resurrection in three stages. In the first stage, the Holy Quran in the first surah of Makkah, by defining the resurrection and briefly stating the key issues around it, has prepared the society to accept the legitimacy of the resurrection in terms of motivation. In the second stage, with the emergence of opposition and skepticism, by presenting clear protests, he has destroyed the reasoning bases of the polytheists and explained and proved the truth of the resurrection from a cognitive point of view. In believing behavior, he has taken a step towards deepening and operationalizing equanimity and explaining its function in the movement of faith and monotheistic behavior.

In conclusion, the Qur’anic process of transformation in ‎the dimension of theism has been extracted in three main stages: in the first stage, ‎the Holy Qur’an in the first Meccan surahs, with a brief introduction of God with ‎some Divine features and the design of the main pillars of monotheism, motivated ‎the community to accept the new monotheistic belief, leading to few new converts. ‎In the second stage, after the formation of the faith community and the resistance ‎of the polytheists against monotheism, the foundations of polytheism were ‎destroyed and rather the foundations of monotheism were explained in terms of ‎cognition with clear arguments. The third stage was establishing and deepening ‎Monotheism in the community of the day, coincide with the establishment of ‎Islamic State, through explaining true faith and levels of faith with a focus on ‎vulnerable factors and the clarity of the precepts, which was done by issuing Ahkām ‎‎(religious verdicts)
