One of the most frequent words in the Quranic surats isمَثَل (mathal), which is commonly employed to predict different meanings associated with conspicuous images, examples, and tales. Mathal gives various types of comparison so as to tackle perceived phenomena using significant and extraneous stuff like ant, spider or fly, etc. and hence abstract ideas could be mesmerized. This paper aims at detecting the different didactic senses that the word mathal displays in the Quranic verses aayas (verses), illustrating the purposes behind these senses. An investigation of didactic loads of the word mathal in the whole Quran is made. It concludes that mathal and its plural derivative amthal are used in Quranic surats to analogously express various meanings such as comparison, likeness, description, similitude, example and parable, in cases where two entities display something in common. The aim behind these meanings is to preach, guide, clarify or teach certain morals.
