Abstract

Many religious teachings and instructions for life in Islam are derived from the Holy Qur'an, which is considered as Al-Thiql al-Akbar. Therefore, identifying the teachings of the Qur'an from the beginning of Islam until now under the title of "interpretation of the Qur'an" has been and is the focus of attention of Muslims, especially thinkers of Qur'anic sciences. One of the sciences required for interpretation is "Balaghah (eloquence)" and "Bayan (the science which deals with patterns of speech that aims to get a sentence that can not only be understood but also be beautiful) " is one of its techniques. The topics of truth and Majaz (metonymy) are two of the issues of bayan. This topic has a special place due to its direct impact on the interpretation of the Qur'an. Therefore, proving majaz is important in the Qur'an. On the other hand, due to the scientific acceptance of Allameh Tabatabaei in the Qur'an interpretation community and considering some verses as majaz by him, it is necessary to obtain his views in this regard. Therefore, this is the purpose of this study. In most cases, in addition to Al-Mizan Fi Tafsir Al-Quran, the sources of research data are interpretive, eloquent, and lexical books. Based on the descriptive-analytical method, the findings of this study indicate that the necessary reasons given by the majaz proponents in the Qur'an are some verses, narrations, and majaz being as more eloquent. The reasons for the majaz opponents in the Qur'an, such as considering majaz as being a lie, its negation, the fall of the authority and the miracle of the Qur'an, are negative and negligible reasons. While accepting these reasons, Allameh Tabatabaei accepts "majaz in some verses" if they are symmetrical and effective in interpreting the verse.
