Causes and Conditions of the Revelation of Quranic Stories and their Contemporary Significance (An Abridged Study)
Abstract
The Qur‘ān is a complete code of life for the entire humanity. Along with commandments and injunctions, Almighty Allah refers to various stories (Qaṣaṣ) in the Qur‘ān for guidance and to bring forth lives and occurrences of the previous Prophets and their nations. These Qaṣaṣ include warnings, good news, the result of disobedience and the recompense of submission. The basic theme of this article is to narrate the objectives and significance of these Quranic Qaṣaṣ along with outlining the difference between Quranic Qaṣaṣ and the common-told stories, the reason for the repetition of Qaṣaṣ, and the philosophy behind these Qasas. The article elaborates that these Qaṣaṣ (stories) convey all about the precepts of Prophets, acceptance and denial of their massage with good or regretful consequences as per the attitude of their nation. The article is compiled with an analytical approach and it not only details the need and essentiality, benefits and outcomes of the Qaṣaṣ but also outlines various types of Qaṣaṣ and their content. All Qaṣaṣ guide human beings with a distinctive pattern. Thus, each story mentioned in the Qur‘ān has its exclusive significance. This article is a brilliant attempt to bring out the moral lessons of the Quranic Qaṣaṣ and to inspire the researchers to study this aspect of the Qur‘ān more deeply.
