One may ask why a sacred Book with the purpose of spiritual training, should contain so many tales and stories of the past, and biographies of this apostle and that prophet?

      In answer to this question; we should think of Man's history as a laboratory, and a workroom devoted to experimental study in all fields of life. It is the history that can show us the realities of man's life. Through the history, man can see the causes of the raise and fall of nations, and the reasons for their prosperity and misfortune. The history is a mirror in which we can see the complete body of Man's society and almost all his social affairs. Of course, our history book to be studied, must be free of flatteries and void of falsehood and excessive praises. It should be without lies, and superstitions. This is why, the best works of the poets, writers, and scholars, are found among their narratives.

      A good story in prose or verse, audio or visual, is the most effective means of conveying a matter or a meaning to mankind. The story is also more apprehensible to all classes of men and women.
