Abstract
The Holy Quran has expressed the principles of belief (monotheism, prophecy, and resurrection) in a scattered and intertwined format that makes their systematic extraction difficult. This research aimed to investigate the emotional methods of the Quran in inferring the principles of belief. The research has collected and analyzed the relevant verses with a qualitative approach and a study of thematic interpretation. The data were collected by taking notes from the Quran and reliable interpretations and analyzed in three stages: categorization, extraction of methods, and explanation of relationships. The findings showed that the Holy Quran uses this method: emotional methods including (nature, good preaching, persuasion and encouragement, artistic imagery, belief patterns) which in fact create a kind of internal and motivational readiness; The proposed method, consisting of four elements: input, process, relationships, and output, shows that this dimension, in synergistic interaction, creates a firm and stable faith and can be a theoretical and practical framework for theologians, interpreters, and religious missionaries in deducing and explaining the principles of belief.
