الشبه والشبه والشبيه: حقيقتها في المماثلة من جهة الكيفية، كاللون والطعم، وكالعدالة والظلم، والشبهة: هو أن لا يتميز أحد الشيئين من الآخر لما بينهما من التشابه، عينا كان أو معنى، قال: وأتوا به متشابها

Verses 1–4 of 4
They said: "Beseech on our behalf Thy Lord to make plain to us What she is: to us are all heifers Alike: we wish indeed for guidance, If God wills."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:70Say those without knowledge: "Why speaketh not God Unto us? Or why cometh not Unto us a Sign?" So said the people before them Words of similar import. Their hearts are alike. We have indeed made clear The Signs unto any people Who hold firmly To Faith (in their hearts).
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:118He it is Who has sent down To thee the Book: In it are verses Basic or fundamental (Of established meaning); They are the foundation Of the Book: others Are allegorical. But those In whose hearts is perversity follow The part thereof that is allegorical, Seeking discord, and searching For its hidden meanings, But ṭo one knows Its hidden meanings except God. And those who are firmly grounded In knowledge say: "We believe In the Book; the whole of it Is from our Lord:" and none Will grasp the Message Except men of understanding.
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:7Say: "Who is the Lord and Sustainer Of the heavens and the earth?" Say: "(It is) God." Say: "Do ye then take (For worship) protectors other Than Him, such as have No power either for good Or for harm to themselves?" Say: "Are the blind equal With those who see? Or the depths of darkness Equal with Light?" Or do they assign to God Partners who have created (Anything) as He has created, So that the creation seemed To them similar? Say: "God is the Creator Of all things: He is The One, the Supreme and Irresistible."
Surah Ar-Ra'd, verse 13:16
