Tafsir Ibn Kathir on Az-Zumar 39:27

Surah Az-Zumar 39:27



ﲦ ﲧ ﲨ ﲩ ﲪ ﲫ ﲬ ﲭ ﲮ ﲯ ﲰ

And We have certainly presented for the people in this Qur'an from every [kind of] example - that they might remember.

The Parable of Shirk Allah says,

ولقد ضربنا للناس في هذا القرآن من كل مثل

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.'

لعلهم يتذكرون

in order that they may remember. Because parables bring the meaning closer to people's minds. As Allah says:

ضرب لكم مثﻼ من أنفسكم

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:

وتلك اﻻمثال نضربها للناس وما يعقلها إﻻ العلمون

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