Abstract
The present study aims to explain the rational and educational mechanisms employed by the Holy Quran in the process of persuading its audience. Utilizing a descriptive-analytical method and drawing on Quranic verses and authentic interpretations, it comprehensively examines the methods of applying logical-mathematical intelligence in the Quran. This examination is structured around five main axes: deductive arguments, inductive arguments, exposition of cause-effect relationships, presentation of mathematical-like and quantitative examples, and finally, the posing of rational questions and logical challenges. The research findings demonstrate that the Holy Quran employs these mechanisms not only for intellectual persuasion but also as a systematic educational model. Specifically, explaining cause-effect relationships strengthens the sense of responsibility; posing logical questions fosters a critical spirit; and providing mathematical examples cultivates a systematic mindset. Ultimately, the study concludes that the Holy Quran, by integrating logical persuasion and rational education, presents a comprehensive model that can serve as a suitable basis for designing contemporary educational systems. These findings indicate the complete harmony of religion with the rational nature of humanity and provide a robust response to doubts concerning the alleged conflict between religion and rationality.
