Abstract
Conceptual metaphor in the approach of cognitive semantics, which is a branch of cognitive linguistics, is one of the main mechanisms of the thought process and is a tool for expressing abstract concepts in the form of objective and tangible concepts. One of the applications of conceptual metaphors is their use as a tool for analysis and worldview of texts, especially religious and Quranic texts. The Holy Qur'an, with its metaphorical nature, has presented to humanity a very complex concepts of the unseen and abstract things, such as the abstract concept of the Hereafter, in a simple, recognizable and tangible language. This letter is one of the most suitable metaphorical patterns to depict the resurrection, which is one of the places of the great resurrection of the Hereafter. Mapping the source domain to the destination domain forms the main framework of the present study. This research intends to conceptualize the concept of "the hereafter is a court" with a descriptive-analytical approach and based on Likoff and Johnson's conceptual metaphor theory, and examines the systematic correspondences between familiar and tangible concepts of origin and abstract and transcendental concepts of the afterlife. It is unknown to explain the correspondences between the structural elements of the territory of origin and destination.
