Is it correct to use the present tense verb "Allah says" when reciting verses from the the Holy Qur'an, even though the verses were revealed in the past tense?

The expression "Allah Almighty says" (يقول الله تعالى) occurred in the present tense in the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him, and he affirmed Aisha when she used it. This is an eloquent Arabic style used to evoke an image, and it has many parallels in the Holy Quran.
