description Holy Quran is full of stories and historical accounts of past nations and prophets for the purpose of transferring knowledge and guidance of human being. However, the Quran does not directly mention the history and historiography, and even the Quran is not based on historiography. The main research questions are: 1. What is the link between the Quran and the history? 2. What is the purpose of the use of stories and historical accounts in the Quran? The research aims to reveal the relationship between the Quran as a sacred source and history as a branch of the humanities. It is hypothesized that the stories are used for the purpose of teaching and following God’s messengers. As a result, it makes the Quran different from the historical text and nation's historical accounts. The findings of the current research indicated that accentuating the Quranic figures for modeling in order to train people, calling to choose the rational attitude, attending to the quality of historical events, and inviting the audience to dispel myths by utilizing Quranic words like "Naba", "Ghesas" and "Ebrat" have led to the choice of realism are among some of the characteristics of the Quranic historical narratives. The story telling and Narrative Features of Quranic stories due to the revelation and the truth of these propositions and the presence of real people within the stories make the Quran vastly superior to the other sacred books and historical books as well, and also make it a parahistorical text.
