Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Ahh. The issue is: is there metaphor in the Qur'an? He says: Is the opinion of Shaykh al-Islam on this issue clear and well-known? And what is your opinion?
Answer:
Yes. He says: There is no metaphor in the Qur'an. The Qur'an is all truth, entirely truth, and there is no metaphor in it. Our Shaykh, Shaykh al-Shanqiti (may Allah have mercy on him), has a book on this, titled *Preventing the Permissibility of Metaphor in the Revealed Text for the Sake of Worship and Inimitability*. That is, he prohibited it from the Qur'an. Yes.
