This paper explores the vital role of metaphors in the Quran; it bridges the gap between human understanding and transcendent divine realities. Quranic metaphors promote a deeper comprehension of faith, divine attributes, and moral responsibilities. These metaphors do more than explain complex theological meanings; they evoke emotional as well as intellectual responses to Allah to inspire believers toward ethical behavior and spiritual devotion. The study explores the key role of Quranic metaphorical language from their linguistic, cognitive, and theological dimensions. The role of metaphors, which are mentioned in this article, is simplifying abstract spiritual concepts, encouraging reflection and contemplation, connecting Divine truths to human experience, illustrating the unseen, moral and ethical lessons, and supporting the concept of Tawhid. It focuses on how such figurative expressions would enhance the access and influence of divine guidance beyond cultural and temporal boundaries. This study aims to prove that metaphorical language can facilitate comprehension, reflection, and action in a manner that will improve the believer's journey to self-purification and closeness to Allah.</p> Lubna Iftikhar Dr. Amir Hayat Copyright (c) 2025 Lubna Iftikhar, Dr. Amir Hayat https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2025-04-28 2025-04-28 3 01 01 10
