Scientists have delved too much into reality and metaphor, and perhaps a topic of Arabic rhetoric has not received the attention and care of scholars as much as the topic of truth and metaphor. The metaphor opens wide horizons of expression in front of the writer so that he has several means by which he can express the one experience, so his imagination takes off depicting the intelligible as tangible, the seen as audible, and the audible as seen. That image presented by the creative writer.
The first thing to note is that the emergence of metaphor as a rhetorical term was at the hands of the Mu'tazila. Muslims differed about the issue of metaphor in the Holy Qur’an, and the beginning of the dispute was about the verses in which the metaphorical image was mentioned that imagined the similarity between God Almighty and His creatures, so some of them carried it on its surface, as some of the phenomenon, and some of the Sunnis, and its enemy in the matter of truth, and some of them diverted it from its face The first of them is from its appearance as the Mu'tazila, for the Mu'tazila relied on metaphor in defining their principles and opinions, debating their opponents, and responding to those who challenged the Qur'an.
