Supervisor: Prof. Dr. İdris ŞENGÜL, 173+VI p.Qur?an has been sent to the earth to help people gain peace both in heaven and on the world. The Glorious Qur?an, a guide book leading to eternal salvation true path, uses various stylistics and methods for its readers to get the message understood. One of them is the moral of the story. With their stylistics, the moral stories are told to Qur?an?s audience to advise and teach lessons.The stories of David and Solomon are the striking stories told in different parts of the Qur?an in different contexts, some episodes of which were prioritized.
