2290 In the Qur'an everything is explained in detail from various points of view, by commands, similitudes, examples, stories, parables, etc. It does not merely narrate stories or lay down vague abstract propositions. It gives very detailed help in outward and inner life. 2291 One form in which it can be received with ingratitude is to pay verbal tribute to it but not study it as it ought to be studied (
2:121 haqqah tilawatihi), or to disobey its precepts or standards.
