Abstract
A number of Quranic verses contain allegorical events, and in order to present an accurate, correct and comprehensive interpretation of the Quranic text, it is necessary for the commentators to be informed about the language of these statements in order to achieve the purposes of the verses, and to clarify their school regarding linguistic opinions. This research is written with a descriptive-analytical method based on library data and information, especially using literary, rhetorical books, early and late interpretations and the results obtained from it include: the Quranic language is not single-faceted in expressing allegorical propositions, but it is multi-faceted; In such a way that the facts of the Quran are expressed in a literary and artistic format in an allegorical language and in an enlightening and realistic manner, and through the use of these allegorical propositions, while understanding the surface and external meaning of the propositions, at the same time, the deep, inner and real meaning behind the appearances of the words is also instilled and there is no way for imagination, illusion and lies. Its sacred language is the language of correcting inner beliefs in beliefs such as polytheism, hypocrisy and worldliness; and the language is a modifier of social behaviors in matters such as breach of covenant and undesirable charity (INFAQ); also, several other types of its application can be listed in the following matters: the language of guidance, truth-oriented, forward-looking, lesson-taking, and objective cognitive and epistemological value.
