Abstract: (5 Views) |
| Imagery is an artistic method used to elucidate concepts, which has recently garnered renewed attention in authentic religious texts, particularly the Holy Qur’an. By employing this technique, the Qur’an vividly and dynamically represents creatures and phenomena of existence to its audience, thereby deepening their understanding of its verses. Since imagery constitutes the most appropriate and effective method for conveying meaning and influencing the audience—and this influence is heightened through the alignment of images with innate human instincts—this study aims to investigate, through a descriptive-analytical approach, the structure and application of such dynamic and vivid imagery in the Qur’an. The findings, based on the examination and analysis of numerous examples, reveal that these Qur’anic images are constructed through precise selection of vocabulary, especially dynamic verbs and rhetorical devices. However, it is the choice and selection of words that play a more significant role in the formation of Qur’anic dynamic imagery. |
