Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does metaphor exist in the Arabic language and in the Qur'an?
Answer:
Metaphor was established by later non-Arabs who learned Arabic, but Arabic was not their natural tongue. They are the ones who introduced metaphor. As for the scholars of Arabic and the original Arabs, they did not speak of metaphor because they knew the Arabic language. There is no metaphor in the Arabic language, as they claim. They strain themselves to find a "metaphor of the unconnected," a "metaphor of the implied," and other such technical terms that have caused us great hardship and from which we have gained no benefit. Yes.
