- My understanding of the Quran and Hadith forms the foundation of my understanding of religion. But the Quran uses metaphoric language to explain things. The Hadith also uses a similar language.
- For example, "We will bring about a vicegerent on earth" has been translated as the planet earth.
- Those who don't know how to interpret these words properly construe the Quran at a very literal level and because they also take the Hadith very literally, most end up denying them.
