. Dr. Mohammad Othman Othman


Abstract

This study explores the impact of Qur’anic parables on the moral upbringing of individuals, the consolidation of Islamic creed, and the rejection of both intellectual and behavioral extremism. It does so by presenting selected examples of Qur’anic parables and analyzing their educational and doctrinal dimensions.

     Qur’anic parables represent one of the eloquent rhetorical styles found in the Qur’an, carrying powerful imagery, clarity of expression, and depth of meaning. The research highlights how these parables contribute to shaping a balanced Muslim personality—one that harmonizes firm faith with righteous behavior. Through these parables, the individual is guided toward the worship of Allah, adherence to the straight path, and avoidance of deviation and extremism.

        Furthermore, the study emphasizes the role of Qur’anic parables in addressing doctrinal and ideological deviations, directing souls toward moderation and balance. The findings conclude that Qur’anic parables offer a profound model for nurturing sound belief and upright conduct. They also serve as an effective preventive tool in safeguarding Muslims from intellectual and behavioral deviations. The research calls for further applied studies in this field.
