You know, one thing I understood really, you know the examples and parables and stories, though they emerge in a certain culture, but the message or universal in the Quran has not come to follow the culture of our time say anything the Quran commands you to follow nothing bit after your culture kuranda not much to make you to become part of the culture. But when a Quran expressive point, it is going to be split from the human human human culture. To some time examples will come from the east sometimes from the western, but mostly to be from where people are familiar that if you learn that it's not going to make your

stories will be from stories that that people are familiar like, you know Mr. Moosa or Isa and all those things that people know by does not mean that he wants to impose a culture upon for example, you know, if you live in England, and I tell a story from India, to express certain point,

Yes, the blood to the human being, you know, but it does not mean that what comes after that is they are then what he said what are the messages? The message in your examples are the people can learn these examples, the stories they know, and people love, you know, people come on board. I've seen examples all the time anyway. If sometime new examples come from new culture, strike the mind, maybe thinking to stories are no doubt from at least and, you know, are also examples of Middle Eastern people. many examples of the are universal, but some are from their culture, but they're not difficult to understand. People can understand what mean but the message is not.

The values there kurama to follow, they are not a value. The values are universal worship of Allah Amarna, Truth and Honesty says, No, don't do Zina. Don't steal in all these commands. They are so natural and so rational. They can fit in any culture, anywhere.
