The answer

Parables in the Holy Quran hold immense rhetorical significance and great benefit for remembrance and admonition. They bring meanings closer to the mind and depict them in a tangible form. The parables in the Quran are divided into three types: explicit parables, using the word "mathal" (parable) or what indicates comparison; latent parables, which concisely convey figurative meanings; and the stories of the Quran, which are the greatest examples for reflection and analogy. They represent analogical cases aimed at associating a new issue with a foundational one to benefit from the experiences of previous nations.
