Allah s uses the story telling technique in the Quran to set firm the heart of the Prophet SAW and the hearts of his followers upon the Deen of Allah.

Inspiriting and disheartening (Al Inspiriting and disheartening (Al Targhib Targhib wa wa Al Al Tarhib Tarhib) ) Instead of sticking to a single technique of instruction, the Quran diversifies its educational approaches. Quran States: Quran States: And give glad tidings O Prophet to those who believe and do righteous deeds that for them there are Gardens of paradise awaiting in the hereafter, beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided from its of its varied Heavenly fruits as a provision to enjoy they will say: This is in appearance like what we were provided before in the life of the world. And indeed it shall be brought to them in full resemblance yet being far more delectable and these gardens of delight spouses who are even pure and therein shall they abide with them forever. (Surat Al Baqarah) 2:25 To discourage a certain practice the Quran states: To discourage a certain practice the Quran states: He said: As for whoever does wrong, we shall punish him.

But as for those who become disdainful of His worship and grow arrogant He shall torment them with a most painful torment.

Edifying by good example: Edifying by good example: If educators wish their instruction to have value, they must practice what they preach. According to the Quran, educators whose deeds do not match their words commit an act most hateful to God: O you who believe! Why do you say what you do not so? It is greatly abhorrent in the sight of Allah that you say what you do not do ( (Surat Surat Al Al Saff Saff) 61:2 ) 61:2- -3 3 This is but sampling of the teaching methods made use of in the Quran. Highlighting them is not meant to, and should not, detract from the worth of other educational techniques present in the Quran including education through dialogue, by good admonition or exhortation, by observation. There can be no lack of appreciation for their merits. Teaching Methods of the Teaching Methods of the Quraan Quraan
