Ask a Shia

[Hadji]

As far as metaphorical language is concerned in the Quran I dont think it is uncommon e.g. backkbiting metaphor of eating your dead brothers flesh.

Don't take my words out of context. I never said that there isn't any metaphorical language in the Qur'an. Please re-read my previous post.

I take phrases like Allahs hands to be metaphorical because to ascribe any sort of form to Allah goes against every logic and even the Quran itself.

So, should we say that the hands of a clock are metaphorical as well? Allah (swt) states that He has hands. Who are we to say, "He doesn't have hands, He probably meant something else?!"
