Summary/Abstract: Qur’anic term qisa is translated into Bosnian as narration, event, history. They have recorded histories of numerous peoples, prophets, individuals, insects etc. We believe in their authenticity and their i’džaz, no matter how much it corresponds with historical facts. Many of these narrations are repeated in one or more Qur’anic surrahs (suwar). Those repetitions have their sense since they carry a new message in a new context in which it is revealed. And not only that, it strengthens Prophet’s heart and his companions to persist on the Right way as the other prophets, according to the Qur’anic narrations, had encountered difficulties, from which they would come out victorious due to the Allah’s help. Through such narration Qur’an permanently reminds, warns and teaches. It does not give us one picture, one event to which we ought to direct our interest and think about it. On the contrary it shows us a wide range of characters and events that are replacing each other and keep us awake to think about them all the time.
