Quranic parables


Explanation:
"parable" in Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary is: COMPARISON, <I>specifically</I> a usually short fictitious story that illustrates a moral attitude or a religious principle

"Parable" is the word that is usually used to describe the same idea in the Christian New Testament, for the stories that Jesus (peace be upon him) told, which had a moral point.
