The Qur'an is the word of Allah; it is the most eloquent and best of all speech. The Qur'an uses different rhetorical devices and parables to convey its message.

Allah says in the Qur'an: 'We have given every type of parable in this Qur'an so that they can understand and think'. Allah conveys to us facts, stories, and examples, as well as guidance and warnings throughout His book.

The Parables of the Qur'an by Yasir Qadhi will take 30 parables of the Qur'an and explain their context and meaning, allowing us to understand, reflect, and change our lives.
