People think that God is bound to do what they would view as satisfactory or they can somehow punish the name of God.
I can understand that people will follow what seems like will give them power or whatever but often times it doesn't and then they realize that Satan or whoever lead them astray to this path instead of staying on the righteous path. There will always be temptations.
I would tell about all the times that something bad almost happened and by the glory and grace of god it didn't. I would tell about things bad that could happen but have not.
I can understand that whatever proof is offered by someone who he disagrees with, i.e. Moses, will be discredited by him. He called him a sorcerer and said he was looking to drive people off of their land. The tyrant pharoh is invoking fear of people to change their beliefs/how they behave/what they do.
Positive-reinforcement is a psychological technique to promote good behavior.
The absense of corporal punishment where we live makes me think that we are not enforcing Allah's word and it may not be followed because we are not making it as serious as it should be and a lot of divorce and other bad things end up happening because of this.

The conditions of the believers being granted worldly authority are if their slaves have or have not reached puberty. If they have not they are allowed to command them to enter at certain points of the day.
The Qur'an highlights the vulnerable and marginalized because sometimes people take advantage of them. The book even promises them a painful torment if they do.
People who believe in Allah could be turned off an undevoted to give him the worship he deserves because they could be lead by a common enemy - Satan/Azazel to be exact - to believe that Allah is his or their enemy.
Asking the unbelievers to question the word is telling believers that we are leading the unbelievers to knowledge and it is up to them whether to accept or not.
Prayer is mentioned twice to stress its importance.
To be a Muslim and place this above all else means that's the most important defining quality of one.

Many present themselves, but only one is worthy.
Allah ˹Himself˺ is a Witness that there is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him—and so are the angels and people of knowledge. He is the Maintainer of justice. There is no god ˹worthy of worship˺ except Him—the Almighty, All-Wise.
