Quranic Metaphor in Rhetorical Research in the Journal of Education and Science at the University of Mosul (2008-2013) Analytical Reading

Abstract

Metaphor has gained attention from many researchers in Quranic rhetoric, as they have sought to observe and analyze it, attempting to uncover its hidden beauty. The aim of the research is to explore these studies (research subject) to understand how they deal with this rhetorical art, determine their ability to reveal the aesthetic beauty of the Quranic text through the manifestation of this art, and identify the other sciences they have utilized to uncover the beauty of Quranic metaphor. Some researchers focused solely on this rhetorical art, while others addressed it within their rhetorical studies. This formed the basis for dividing the research into two sections: the first section includes studies dedicated to the art of metaphor, and the second section includes studies that implicitly discuss metaphor. The research concludes with a summary of the most important findings
