The primary sources of this study is the Qur’anic verses found in Abdullah Yusuf Ali’s English translation and several traditions from compilation of hadith by Habib Muhammad AL-Haddar. This analysis is aimed at explicating justification that metaphor is a stylistic device extensively used in both the Qur’an and the Prophetic tradition in delivering Islamic teachings. This study reveals that all sorts of metaphors in very general term are found in various verses of the Qur’an and the prophetic traditions. This argument is sufficient proof convincing that metaphor is an important stylistic device in presenting Islamic teaching.engWith permission of the license/copyright holderStylistic devicemetaphoral-Qur’anhadisCultural ethicsMedia/communication/information ethicsReligious ethicsSpirituality and ethicsMethods of ethicsTheological ethicsPhilosophical ethicsCommunity ethicsEducation and ethicsEthnicity and ethicsJournal volume
