The arrangement of the ‎central verses about monotheism according to the order of their revelation leads to ‎know the process of transformation of the belief in God and discover the special ‎Qur’anic method for repairing and institutionalizing the monotheistic belief. ‎Accordingly, extracting the central verses about monotheism and identifying the ‎basic points of the course of monotheistic invitation, based on a descriptive-‎analytical method, this article examined the holy Qur’an’s process of making ‎change in belief (in God). 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)
