Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What is meant by the saying of Allah the Exalted[Ar-Rahman 55:58]
Answer:
It is a comparison of them to these two precious gems. Yes, and Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) strikes parables for people to bring the meanings that are absent from them closer to them. Parables are a section of the sciences of the Noble Qur'an, and Allah strikes parables for people. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) strikes parables for people in order to bring the absent things that they do not know closer to them by means of the visible things that they know. Yes.
