Quranic Parables: Lessons in Faith and Monotheism

In the verses of the Holy Quran, we find parables of great precision and eloquence, teaching and guiding us to profound meanings concerning our faith and monotheism in Allah Almighty. Among these parables, Allah presents a unique example in Surah An-Nahl, "Allah sets forth a parable: a slave owned by another, unable to do anything, and one whom We have provided with a good provision from Us, and he spends from it secretly and openly. Are they equal?" illustrating the immense difference between the Creator and the creation, between the powerless owned slave and the free human who possesses good provision and spends it in the path of good.
