Exaggeration in Poetic Similes
What is the ruling on exaggeration in poetic similes such as: I am like the Day of Resurrection on a coming day... I am like Jesus returning... I will return with religions as one religion free from grudges and tribalism?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible to say this if one intends a correct purpose, such as caring for and being concerned about religion; because such words are not frivolous, and God knows best.
