Summary/Abstract: In this study, Māturīdī’s interpretation of the parable and his approach to faith-themed parables in particular the parables of ‘Prophet Mūsā and The Pious Servant’, ‘Hārūt and Mārūt’ and ‘Hazrat Maryam’ were examined. In the study, it is aimed to determine how Māturīdī analyzes faith-themed parables. In the introduction part of the study, which consists of an introduction and two main parts, information is given about the subject, importance, purpose, method and sources of the research. In the first part, topics such as the concept of parable, the historical reality of parables, and repetition in parables are discussed in order to reveal Māturīdī’s approach to the parables of the Qur’ān. In the second part, his theological approach to the parables of ‘Prophet Mūsā and Pious Servant’, ‘Hārūt and Mārūt’ and ‘Hazrat Maryam’ is examined in detail. As a result of the study, it has been determined that Māturīdī used parables as a source on matters of faith. In addition, it has been concluded that the theological explanations he made are compatible with the kalām system. In the interpretation of the parable of Prophet Mūsā - Pious Servant, he emphasized the attribute of knowledge of Allāh. While explaining the parable of Hārūt - Mārūt, he discussed the ontological reality of magic. In the parable of Hazrat Maryam, he touched on the subject of karāmāt by emphasizing tawḥīd.
