Abstract

To comprehend the parables contained in the Quran is a very effective approach that can be used in educating the humans’ soul. It can treat various soul related syndromes that affect human, including syndromes involving the Islamic beliefs. In recent time, we are often shocked by the news in the mass media about the Malay Muslims in the country involved in apostasy, heresy and atheism. These scenarios become a big concern for us as Malaysians because it damages the image of Islam, which is the official religion of our country. Hence, one of the solutions to this problem is to observe the parables in the Quran which mention Allah’s s.w.t. oneness. This is because it has a variety of privileges which can encourage human to think with their hearts and minds about His oneness. Accordingly, a qualitative study was conducted to examine the concept of Allah's oneness and to analyze the parables related to Allah's oneness which are contained in the Quran. For the purpose of collecting data, the library research method has been used. Meanwhile, for the purpose of analyzing the data, the descriptive document analysis method has been implemented. The findings show that the Quranic parables can give profound effects on the humans’ soul in understanding the concept of Allah’s oneness. It affirms that Allah s.w.t. is the only God to be worshiped and denies the divinity of anything else other than Him. The approach which had been used is by bringing analogies found in human and animals, which can be easily understood by a healthy mind. This study is expected to create awareness among the society to take the parables in the Quran as one of the methods for correcting faith disorder among Muslims and also increasing the level of their faith towards Allah s.w.t.
