"He (Prophet Muhammad s.a.w) was always a brilliant star. He was pure, his genealogy is pure, and the Qur'an that he was given is pure. This compounded light now becomes the ultimate source of guidance for all of humanity, for there is no path to reach Allah s.w.t other than the path of the Prophet s.a.w." - The Parables of the Qur'an by Dr Yasir Qadhi
I have always loved the way Dr Yasir Qadhi would illustrate his teaching points in clear and concise speeches, and it is illuminating to read his interpretations of the different parables and aphorisms of the Qur'an in this book.
Divided into short chapters, this book touches on the different rhetorical devices used in the Qur'an to convey the divine messages of Allah. Filled with facts, stories, warnings and of course, guidances, the Qur'an is a multi-layered piece of literature that surpasses any other text in terms of its beauty and eloquence.
I liked how Dr Yasir Qadhi touched on the linguistics of the language of the Qur'an, particularly in the different verses that contains the parables. Providing a clear context to the revelations of the verses, he also described the semantics and pragmatics of the different parables to provide a clear explanation on the messages that are being conveyed. Best of all, this book is also filled with reminders that would definitely benefit, making it a timely and enlightening Ramadan read.

“These are the parables we cite for mankind so that they can benefit and ponder.” - Al-Hashr, 21.
Even if its not during Ramadan, this book is one of those books you need to help you to ponder about things and to do self-reflections. 28 parables and aphorisms from the Qur’an personally chosen by the Author, explaining their context and meaning in order for us to understand, reflect and change our lives. And here’s my personal favourite:
