Allah says, "Had We sent down this Koran upon a mountain, you would have seen it humble itself and split asunder for fear of Allah" (59:21).
This verse is an indication that the Koran is very unique, it has the power to grip someone who neither understands nor yet knows its meaning. One day a follower of Prophet Jesus, peace be upon him, happened to pass by someone reciting the Koran, and started to weep. He was asked what had caused him to weep and he replied, "It is because it has entered my heart in the beauty of its arrangement." There are many reports of people embracing Islam upon their first hearing the Words of Allah, then, there are others who are unfortunate and turn away.
Jubair Mut'im's son said, "During the evening prayer, I heard the Prophet recite the chapter "The Mount" (52), and when he reached the words, "Or, were they created out of nothing? Or, were they their own creators? Or, did they create the heavens and the earth? No, their belief is not certain! Or, are the treasures of your Lord in their keeping? Or, are they the controllers?" (52:35-37) my heart leapt to Islam.
It is also reported that Jubair said, "It was the first time that Islam became important in my heart."
There are two reports about Utba Rabi'a's son, who on one occasion went to the Prophet to speak to him about a recent Revelation that spoke against the pagan belief of his tribe. So, the Prophet began to recite chapter 41 The Distinguished. "HaMeem. A sending down from the Merciful, the Most Merciful. A Book, the verses of which are distinguished, an Arabic Koran for a nation who know. It bears glad tidings and a warning, yet most of them turn away and do not listen. They say, 'Our hearts are veiled from that to which you call us, and in our ears there is heaviness. And between us and you is a veil. So work (as you will) and we are working.' Say (Prophet Muhammad), 'I am only a human like you, to whom it is revealed that your God is One God. Therefore be straight with Him and ask Him to forgive you. Woe to the idolaters, who do not pay charity and disbelieve in the Everlasting Life. For those who believe and do good works is an enduring wage.' Say, 'Do you disbelieve in Him who created the earth in two days? And do you set up equals with Him? He is the Lord of the Worlds.' He set firm mountains on top (of the earth) and He blessed it. And in four days He ordained in it many provisions, equal to those who ask. Then He willed to the heaven when it was smoke, and to it and the earth He said, 'Come willingly, or unwillingly.' 'We come willingly,' they answered. In two days He determined them seven heavens, and He revealed
