The Parable and Analysis of its Social and Ethical Applications in Verse 261 of Surah Al-Baqarah

The Holy Quran, in line with the change and transformation of souls, achieving perfection and improving the social conditions of humanity, relies on man and his upbringing. For this great goal, God has used people's own language in the form of parables so that his teachings can be understood. It must be admitted that what has been written so far about Quranic parables is only a small part of the knowledge hidden in this deep breadth, and has not covered the scope of cognitive diversity in this field, so it is necessary for thinkers and intellectuals to study Quranic parables from different angles, and discover their apparent secrets. Therefore, in this article, an attempt has been made to describe the parable and analyze its social and ethical applications in verse 261 of Surah Al-Baqarah using library data, interpretive and narrative resources. The results of the research show that adherence to the principles of Zakat and prayer has provided the dynamism of human society's civilization, the position of servitude, and the foundation of a virtuous life; And Infaq is a general and ultra-financial concept; The living horizon of people can be brought closer to each other through: absolut prohibition of usury, and the obligation to pay Islamic taxes such as Zakat, Khums, Sadaqa, Infaq, Waqf, Qard Al-Hasan, and various financial aids.
