Allah the Exalted is the only Lord of all the worlds. He has sent Prophets and Messengers in all periods to guide mankind. He has also revealed Divine Scriptures to edify mankind. Several Manuscripts and Books were revealed on different Prophets. The Qur’Än is the last and final word of Allah towards humanity till the Day of Judgment. The Qur’Än teaches humanity about the Unity of Allah, the love and obedience of Prophet Muhammad PBUH, methods of worship, and many more. In the Qur’Än, different unique methods have been adopted for the purpose of guidance e.g. literary method, psychological, interrogative, method of telling a story of past times, etc. The parabolic form is one of these methods. This article analyzes the significance and details of the illustrative method. It is the convention of Allah to teach through this method. The Apostles of Allah have also adopted this method to preach the word of Allah in an easier way.References
