Abstract

Quranic scholars have always sought to explain the aesthetic aspects of the Holy Qur'an verses in the post-Qur' centuries. One of the aesthetic tools in the Qur'an is the metaphor that a domain of extensive reviews about that can be found in the field of rhetoric science. The focus of these studies has been on the literal aspects of metaphors. With the advent of cognitive science and the theory of conceptual metaphors, extensive studies have begun to distinguish these metaphors from traditional metaphors and cognitive scholars have revised various texts in the light of this theory. In this research which the data collection is library-based and has been done by a descriptive-analytical method with qualitative analysis, we try to show that the conceptual metaphors of the Holy Qur'an also have aesthetic value, assuming that the verses of the Qur'an contain conceptual metaphors. Thus, in addition to the Qur'an, its conceptual spaces, which are based on metaphors, can also be considered beautiful. Finally, we present the depiction of the verses of the Holy Quran as an explanation for the adaptation of this feature to the conceptual spaces of the Holy Quran.
