Striking Parables in the Qur'an
0:12
The striking of parables recurs frequently in the Noble Qur'an,
0:17
and Allah Almighty says:
0:20
﴿And these parables We present to the people, that perhaps they will give thought.﴾
0:24
“As for these similitudes, We coin them for mankind, but none will grasp their meaning save the wise.” (29:43)
0:27
In this, there is an affirmation of the use of parables,
0:30
an encouragement to ponder and understand them,
0:33
and praise for those who comprehend them and grasp their intended meaning.
0:37
As for those who fail to comprehend the parables struck
0:40
in the Qur'an and mock them,
0:43
they are among the people of deviation, ignorance, and misguidance.
0:46
If you reflect upon the Noble Qur'an,
0:49
you will find that most of the parables Allah strikes therein
0:53
concern the fundamental tenets of the religion and similar core matters.
