Abstract
Metaphor in literary and religious discourse is a dynamic tool for organizing abstract concepts. Conceptual metaphor, which is a new approach in cognitive linguistics, plays a significant role in explaining and clarifying texts, especially religious texts. The application of this theory in cognitive stylistics and analysis of literary and religious texts can be useful. Since the language of religion is a metaphorical language, conceptual metaphors have many functions in it. Conceptual metaphors, which are structural, ontological (existential) and directional, have been studied by many researchers. In this research, we aim to analyze the ontological metaphors of the Day of Judgment in Part thirty of the Holy Quran based on the descriptive-analytical method and answer these questions whether ontological metaphors as a cognitive process for Does the expression of the abstract concept of resurrection have an effective presence in the 30th part of the Holy Quran? What axes are included in the maps of the conceptual domain of Qayamat? The findings show that ontological metaphors to express the abstract concept of resurrection have a significant presence in the third part and the names of the conceptual domain of resurrection have various axes.
