The Parables of the Qur’an
The Qur'an argues in images as much as in instruction, and this gathers those comparisons and explains what each one is for.
The Qur’an argues by comparison as often as by instruction, and Qadhi gathers those comparisons here: the spider’s house, the rain that revives dead earth, the deaf and blind who will not hear. He explains each image in its original setting and then draws the moral point, keeping the classical commentary tradition in view. It is a short book that rewards slow reading.
