Abstract

This study examines representative metaphor in selected Qur’anic verses as one of the major rhetorical devices reflecting the eloquent miraculous nature of the Holy Qur’an. It aims to identify the artistic and semantic features of representative metaphor and to explain its role in constructing Qur’anic meaning, embodying abstract concepts through vivid sensory imagery, and strengthening the psychological and rhetorical impact on the recipient. The study also investigates its contribution to semantic cohesion and its argumentative and imagistic functions within the Qur’anic context. The research addresses the following question: How does the Qur’an employ representative metaphor to embody doctrinal and behavioral meanings, and what effect does it have on clarifying mental imagery and reinforcing meaning in the recipient’s mind? The study adopts both inductive and analytical-interpretive approaches by tracing Qur’anic verses containing representative metaphors and analyzing selected examples within their textual contexts. It relies on classical and modern works of rhetoric and Qur’anic exegesis. The findings reveal that representative metaphor performs not only aesthetic functions, but also semantic and persuasive roles that reinforce meaning and enhance the recipient’s understanding. It also contributes to portraying psychological states and achieving semantic cohesion in the Qur’anic text.
