The Qur'an contains the most beautiful words in the world. Everything is clarified in the Qur'an.

Anyone who reads the Qur'an (cover to cover) and still is not convinced that the Qur'an is the word of God and that Islam is the only true path, must have serious issues.

Except that most people can't read arabic. In english it isn't that impressive, you only get tiny gleams of what it actually means. And without any background knowledge of the subject, none of it will make sense or seem very impressive.

It is poetry, so it works based on using poetic and rhetorical devices that are specific to arabic. And english is not a poetic language at all.
