Abstract
The religion of Islam and the monotheistic religions of Judaism and Christianity, each of them have a sacred book which is the basis of faith of the followers of these religions. Words are the messengers of meanings and they like the holy prophets are dependent on their environment, traditions, customs and their fields of duty in this messaging. Collection of words and phrases that chase a specific purpose and illustrate some particular events in the past or explain an occasion are called a story or storytelling. Storytelling and its creation have roots in innovation, thriving and genesis of human being, his primary community and very initial traditions. The art of storytelling has also been recognized by Islam and is significantly exercised nearly in all divine books especially the Holy Quran. So, Quranic tales have abundant commonalities with the Old Testament, especially in the stories of Prophets, but the pattern of narration of Holy Quran is different from the Bible.
