The present paper address the role of Quran linguistic attitudes in the creation of the trinity view: strong maximal, minimal, and maximal comprehensiveness in the Quran. This investigation explains how the selection of each of these ideas can result in a different structure of the comprehensiveness in the Quran. Finally, in evaluations between different linguistic attitudes such as symbolic, conventional, combinational, and intrinsic language، the writer reaches the conclusion that comprehensiveness of the Quran is based upon the idea that despite some controversy, the maximal approach has yielded a realistic and acceptable idea of the language of the Quran. The comprehensiveness of the Quran is best represented by a synthesis of intrinsic and combinational methods. The intrinsic way ensures the ultra-temporality of the comprehensive of the Quran, and the combination way ensures the generality thereof.

The Qur’anic stories possess characteristics which are unique to the holy book of Islam. Only parts of the story which serve the guiding purpose of the Qur’an are narrated, and details are sometimes left out. The fact that it refrains from using shallow imaginative stories does not suggest that the Holy Qur’an does not use literary forms in its narration of stories. It uses allegory and simile; therefore, different generations would understand the facts beyond mankind’s limited understanding. As stated by Allah the Almighty, “Such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect” (59:21). Some interpreters describe the Qur’anic stories as symbolic and reject their truth. On the other side, some believe in their veracity. This article studies the interpreters’ attitudes towards the Qur’anic stories, including the story of Adam and his children.
