An Overview of Majaz (Metaphor) Interpretation in the Holly Quran.

      Аннотация: This book points out how the metaphors of the Quran has been differently interpreted among Muslim scholars to the extent of accusing each other not being true believers. The message of the Qur’a>n is for all the generations of people and suitable for all places and times. Therefore, its meaning must be clearly understood and properly explained. In doing so, its challenge to all mankind and Jinn will continue. This study investigates the way maja>z has been dealt with in the past studies in the holy book with special emphasis on linguistic, theological and exegetical approaches. It will also examine the reasons of treating maja>z differently by different scholars, and analyze the extent to which their understanding was shaped by their various orientations. A combination of all the above targets once achieved, will enable this study to clarify the reasons why the scholars differed and continue to differ on whether maja>z exists in the holy Qur’a>n or not and why it has been treated differently. By doing this, it will hopefully have contributed to the understanding of the Qur'a>n which is very crucial to every Muslim.
