Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah keep you safe, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the meaning of the phrase "reality, not metaphor"?
Answer:
"Reality, not metaphor": reality is the opposite of metaphor. They say that the speech of Allah is metaphor, meaning that Allah created it, so it is attributed to Him metaphorically because He created it. The people of the Sunnah say it is His speech in reality; Allah spoke with it. I seek Allah's forgiveness for myself. The questioner needs to study rhetoric so that he knows reality and metaphor with me.
