Abstract
The most eloquent and adequate means of expressing and conveying concepts and ideas in the holy books, particularly the Holy Qur'an, is narrating and depicting the events and incidents through "tales".
This article attempts to explore the basic elements, attributes and components of the Holy Qur'an's tales by employing the basic concepts and principles used in narrating tales, stories and drama (e.g. character and characterization, dilemma, suspension etc.).
The findings indicate that there are lots of commonalities in the principles of modern story-writing and the Holy Qur'an's tales in terms of the narration, methods, structure and in the mode of employing the literary and artistic delicacies and skills.
However, these tales enjoy certain outstanding attributes which differentiate them from human-made stories. These tales include peculiarities, methods, skills, exquisite and peculiar structures that could provide different literary-artistic frames, particularly TV and cinema with certain potentialities for such stories to express the most sublime human-God themes.
