In this regard, Al-Majidi said that proverbs are part of the great Qur’anic evidence, for God described the Qur’an as a statement for people.
He mentioned that one of the greatest purposes of the Holy Qur’an is to bring people out of darkness into light.
In order for the Qur’anic evidence to be completed, the Qur’an took various methods to show them guidance;
Among the greatest of these methods, he used proverbs as a common human found in the nature of divine messages.
He pointed out that proverbs constitute a great approximate method for people, as evidenced by the Almighty’s saying: “And we have spent in this Qur’an for people from every example, and man was the most controversial thing” (Surat Al-Kahf: 54).
He added that God Almighty wants to bring His words closer to His servants and to show the people a solid statement;
Proverbs prove the meanings of the divine words, so that the message is clear and the proof appears strong, and that is why God - the Almighty - sets forth examples from the environment in which man lives in his life.
He also explained that the proverbs may be historical and realistic stories because of the Almighty’s saying: “Did the news of those before you not come to you, the people of Noah, Ad, and Thamud, and those after them whom only God knows, whose messengers came to them with clear proofs” (Surat Ibrahim: 9).
Proverbs may be deeds, and how can a person present deeds without belief in God, so that they become scattered for nothing, as God Almighty said: “The likeness of those who disbelieve in their Lord are their deeds as ashes that were blown away by the wind on a stormy day” (Surat Ibrahim: 18).
