Abstract

The Holy Quran, the last divine book and the written miracle of Islam in Arabic, has a unique style. Linguistic sciences, including the science of speech, from the early centuries of Islam until now, with different interpretations, have always been trying to open the hidden layers of this last immortal miracle of history and have been able to delve into the layers of this infinite sea of meanings.Metaphor, as one of the three pillars of the science of expression, has played an original role in this field. In this article, an attempt is made to reveal the semantic implications and concepts of the verses of the Holy Quran in Surah Al-Baqarah, which have explicit metaphors and intellectual themes, but are expressed in the form of sensory interpretations. Determining the deep structure (underlying structure) of a meaningful phrase is possible by means of its superstructure to achieve the main meaning, relying on the references in the specific metaphor and identifying the omissions in the metaphors. In this approach, one tries to achieve deep, correct, expressive and understandable concepts by logically and correctly analyzing the points and details of the metaphor, while understanding the aesthetics of the related verses.
For this purpose, the Qur'anic phrases containing this expressive and rhetorical array have been analyzed in a descriptive-analytical way.
