Education has different realms: cognitive، emotional and behavioral. One of the cognitive aspects is concerned with religious teachings. “Credence or belief” is a kind of stabilized cognition which effects an individual’s emotions and behaviors more than superficial understanding does. What steps have to be taken in order to reinforce the belief in the unity of God? This aim can be accomplished through cognitive and behavioral methods. Using a library-based method، emphasizing on the motivational ways and taking a probing look at the Quran and traditions، this aims at fostering religious beliefs. How can the instructor arouse the learner’s interest in monotheism? What are the dispositional obstacles to the learner’s belief in God and monotheism?

In verse 99 of Surah Al-A'raf, the probabilistic cause of this potential punishment is also stated; meaning the same "Divine Plan" – with its correct interpretation – which indicates that this is not merely a possibility, but a significant one, and the requirements for it exist.
5. Stating the harmlessness of belief in Tawhid even if it were false: As mentioned, in a narration transmitted from Imam Sadiq(a), His Eminence addressed that atheist with this sentence: If the truth is as you say (meaning there is no God), then you (the atheists) and they (meaning the circumambulators who accept Almighty God) will be equal.
Another method of the Quran to create belief in Tawhid is "arousing love for God in the heart of the trainee.
