Meaning
Shahrur maintains that the function of Qur’anic narratives is not confined to historical storytelling. He explicitly includes “Muhammadan narratives” in this judgment, describing narratives as bearers of laws and patterns.
Evidence
“Qur’anic narratives, including Muhammadan narratives, are not mere historical storytelling; rather, they contain laws and patterns.”
Scope of the Claim
This evidence establishes a general description of the function of narratives, but it does not specify the laws and patterns intended, nor does it explicitly connect them here to the rise or downfall of states. These details still require other evidence.
