Is symbolisim the New Hadith?
Lately i have been discussing several issuses in this forum i have notice many individuals sighting proof through symbolisim. For example, once someone said that Moses didnt part a Red Sea. But "Sea" can symbolically represent people and "red" can symbolically represent anger. So according to this symbolic view point Moses parted "angry people" and these people drown pharoh people.
Now of courses it didnt make sense, but the issue is can symbolisim be used as tangible proof. Are one subjective symbolic views justification for verse interpretation in the koran. Many individuals who support the symbolic view testify that since we cannot prove such sign/miracles actually happen, they must be symbolic references.
I personally limit my justificationn for using symbolisim beyond the boundaries set by God in the Koran. God tends to state allegorical references for particular verse before using it. But should we go far beyond that.
And since symbolisim is so subjective, can it ever be definitive?
My question is, is symbolisim the Neo Hadith?
Meaning is symbolisim the new narrations that should be considered a second source of religious information?
