Looking at the persuasive method and expressive style of ‘imagery’ in the Holy Quran

Abstract EN

Imagery is a special and appropriate tool in discourse of Quran by which it presents different guidance and religious goals in the art form.

Delivering a message in the form of imagery is for influencing the audience and persuading him to accept the result of the message.

Imagery tools in the field of literature are words and phrases, not the fonts and colors and pictures.

The purpose of imagery in Quran is to persuade the man into accepting the divine messages presented in the form of images.

Its method is expressing an abstract meaning in the form of a real image to the audience.

The goal of applying imagery in Quran is to accept the only God and to observe god’s mandates, and to behave in god’s way in order to bring about prosperity and victory for the man in both world life and the life hereafter.
