قرآن میں تشبیہ و استعارہ کا اسلوب و معنویت (عمدة القاری کا اختصاصی مطالعہ ).

The words of Qur’an have layers of meaning in it. Without understanding the literary forms of Qur’anic literature it is not possible to acknowledge the hidden meanings and intellectual aspects of Qur’an. The object of ‘’similitude”/Mathal and Metaphor/Istiara in Qur’an is to get understand the massage of Allah Almighty in better way because similes and Metaphor have been used in different ways and purposes by Allah Almighty. As in surah Al Ankabut: 43, of Holy Quran: “There are similitude explained for the people, who have knowledge can understand it”. In the use of Metaphor, Allah Almighty has invited to mankind in Holy Qur’an: “So announce! What are you commanded’’ in surah Alhajar: 94. The question is what is the purpose of similitudes and Metaphor in which kind of style these have explained in Qur’an? Like ; Allah Almighty has explained the eternity of truth and vanity of falsehood through similitude in Polychromic style ” Thus does Allah show forth the truth and vanity, from the scum disappears like froth cast ;while that which is good for mankind remains on the earth ‘’. This article will explain the kinds of similitude and Metaphor with the help of distinctive acknowledgment of Allama Badaruldin Aini in Umda-tul-Qari as well as other literary sources.
