Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Parable of Shirk

Allah says,

وَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِي هَذَا الْقُرْانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ

And indeed We have put forth for men, in this Qur'an every kind of parable,

means, `We have explained things to mankind in it (the Qur'an) by setting forth examples and parables.'

لَّعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ



in order that they may remember.

Because parables bring the meaning closer to people's minds.

As Allah says;

ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ مَّثَلً مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ

He sets forth for you a parable from yourselves. (30;28)

meaning, `so that you may learn it from yourselves.' in Order that they may have Taqwa of Him.

And Allah says;

وَتِلْكَ الاٌّمْثَالُ نَضْرِبُهَا لِلنَّاسِ وَمَا يَعْقِلُهَأ إِلاَّ الْعَـلِمُونَ

And these are the examples We give for mankind; but none will understand them except those who have knowledge (of Allah). (29;43)
