وهو أي المجاز العقلي في القرآن كثير
Rational figurative predication occurs frequently in the Quran.
This addresses the objection that acknowledging figurative predication in revelation would make the revelation untrue. Rational figurative predication is not a synonym for false speech; it is an intelligible and context-governed Arabic rhetorical usage.
A predicate can be assigned to a cause, time, place, or intermediary without denying the ultimate agency of the event. The interpretation relies on relevant knowledge and context.
