الصورة الفنية للتشابه في القرآن الكريم

Abstract EN

The Holy Qur'an includes rhythmic prose, concise and full of the most influential proverbs as well as the strongest similes.

The best language which can explain intellectual knowledge and spiritual concepts to the masses is "allegory." Allegory, in terms of expressing secrets and disclosure the facts, proposes the imagined entities in the form of truth, and the perceived as certainty.

Allegory has such an impact on hearts which it is not possible to describe it alone, so one of the expressive ways of reciting the Holy Quran is allegory.

The belief and moral messages included beyond the Quranic allegories can lead an individual life to happiness.

Most Quranic allegories are of the sensible type, because this kind of simile, by making a similarity between a sensible meaning and a tangible thing, embodies well and indicates the far-fetched realities for man, and in this method, the facilitates perceiving many religious concepts and makes it easy for man to be rational and leaves the greatest impact on his institution, too.

In this thesis, after defining simile and allegory and expressing its functions, a case study of some Quranic allegories has been studied and its metaphorical features, which have been generally neglected by scholars, with the aim of understanding and comprehending a part of the expressive miracle of the Holy Quran is placed.

This thesis has been conducted in 4 chapters.
