What is the best surah to direct nonmuslims to listen in Arabic to show the the beauty/divinity of the Quran?

I tell them to listen to Ah Rahman because that is one of my favorites but maybe there is one that explains the message of Allah better.It shouldnt be too long or too short because of attention spans etc. Suggestions?

1. Al-Ikhlas to me is a good explanation of Islam and what as Muslims we believe. Pure Tawheed. The meaning is beautiful.
2. Surah Luqman is brief and also has a beautiful message: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=i023MuG9wb8
3. If you give them a recitation, then really any Soorah is good for them to listen to. Over here the Christians open their windows during the Salawaat to hear the Salaah because they've said that something draws them to listening to the Qur'aan being recited.
4. I can give you two different verses from two different suras: 1-The greatest verse in the quran.(Ayat al-kursi, Al-baqara 3:255) 2- One of the most beautiful verses in the Quran.(The Verse of Light, Al-Nour 24:35) (Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth .......
5. A true Christian will listen to the Quran and it will not have an effect as far as beauty and especially no effect according to Divinity. The reason for this is we Christians have invited the "Living" Spirit of God to dwell inside our hearts and being as such, God's Word is also living inside of us. Thus, we are able to discern what is "real" versus "counterfeit". Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and the spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
6. Any Surah.. @@ Well Trooper a TRUE Christian Would Fall prostate if he listened to Quran...eheheheh..
