الملخص EN

The image of the father in the Qur'anic narrative discourse deserves a serious study and research for the great value this image plays in forming the total meaning of the story.

Since the Qur'anic stories are part of a holy text that is miraculous in its language and nature, our perception of their denotations and connotations is limitless.

There are different archetypes of the image of the father in the Holy Qur'an .

In each story, he is a specific model with different psychological, social and dogmatic features.

Furthermore, the Qur'anic portrayal of this father model is equally variant which has inspired the researcher to study the way the Qur'anic stories specify and highlight the features of the image of the father.

This study aims at focusing on the depiction of these features in relation to modern narrative concepts and manifesting the interrelated formal, psychological, social, intellectual dimensions which vary between guidance and aberration.

As a result, this study shall depict the secrets and characteristics of the narrative speeches in the Holy Qur'an through tracing the images of the father model in the Qur'anic stories.

In this respect, this study employs the descriptive analytical approach and benefits of the Modern theory of Narratology to analyze the ways of portraying the image of the father and introducing it as an archetype, as well as, to highlight the features that distinguish the Qur'anic stories.

The study concludes that the positive models of the father image control over the other models in order to honor this fatherly archetype.

In addition, according to these positive virtuous models, religious belief comes first and even before kinship.

It is worth mentioning that the Holy Qur'an is not interested in depicting the formal attributes of the character and its external characteristics but this holy book guarantees general features of the father character which has elevated it from the direct narrative character level to the absolute archetypal figure.
