Interpretation Of Quran In Literal Meanings Versus Symbolic Meanings
Your understanding or literal is not correct. Inference of Wudu from the above verse is not literal but inferential. However, to us, it is not a correct inference. The verse tells about the angels who are purified and they could touch the Quran but Satans cannot touch it as it is the protected book. So it is not necessary to have Wudu to touch the Quran. In the second case, the verse tells about the disbelievers, it says that they are as dead to listen to the Quran as the dead in their graves who do not hear anything. So it solves the problem anyways that deads are not capable to hear. What is symbolic and what is literal, it depends not upon one’s discretion, but on the well-known rules and styles of language. The way Quran tells about such information is not symbolic. Kindly as one question in one post. Thanks
