The method of the Noble Quran in reminding of the days of Allah:

As for "the days of Allah," they are those events and incidents

which Allah - the Most High - brought about as a bounty upon the obedient

and as vengeance against the disobedient criminals - He also chose from them

that which had struck their ears from before,

and they had heard stories in a general form,

like the stories of the people of Noah, and 'Ad and Thamud,

which the Arabs used to hear and circulate

among themselves generation after generation,

and the stories of our master Abraham - peace be upon him -

and the stories of the prophets of the Children of Israel

which had become familiar to their ears due to the long mixing of the Arabs with the Jews,

and the Noble Quran did not address the strange stories

nor the stories of the punishment of Allah - the Most High - or His reward

for the Persians and the Indians, just as it did not mention of the famous stories

except the necessary parts which are useful in reminding and admonition,

and it did not exhaust all the specific details which the stories comprise.

[The wisdom of this Quranic method:]

And the sufficiency with the important parts of the story

and avoiding the strange parts of the stories and the minor details,

is that the general public of people

when they hear a strange tale or a complete story

with all its particularities and chapters,

then indeed their natures lean towards the very story and become infatuated with it,

and the basic purpose - which is the reminding -

from the presentation of the story which the Noble Quran aims at is missed.
