Abstract
Teaching religious thinking has been one of the topics and concerns of the thinkers of theological knowledge. Different methods for this important issue are evident in their works. Rational and sometimes mystical and narrative topics have been used for this purpose. Identifying these methods is important for guiding the children and teenagers. In the present research it has been tried to explain the power and effectiveness of parabels of Muslim philosophers in religious thinking with a descriptive-analytical method. Some Muslim philosophers such as Ibn Sina and Sohrawardi have employed stories and symbolic parables in their works, such as "Hayy bin Yaqzan", "Salaman and Absal", "Loqat Moran", "Aql Sorkh", "Fi Haqiqa al-Ishq" and "Awaz Par Gabriel" to teach religious thinking to the society. Parables can be used to strengthen the foundations and thinking of various religious issues. For example, in these parables, discussions about metaphysics in a general and special sense are explained, which include epistemology, ontology, theology, “study of humanity”, “study of guides”, as well as eschatology.
