Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Parable of Shirkوَلَقَدْ ضَرَبْنَا لِلنَّاسِ فِى هَـذَا الْقُرْءَانِ مِن كُلِّ مَثَلٍ(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.'لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَذَكَّرُونَ(in order that they may remember.) Because parables bring the meaning closer to people's minds. As Allah says:ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ مَّثَلاً مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ(He sets forth for you a parable from yourselves) (30:28).
