Abstract
For years, and in different ways, the concept of artistic imagery has drawn the attention of Koranic analysts, interpreters, and rhetoricians. Given that the Holy Koran delineates the universe in a dynamic and vivid manner, the Koranic researchers have tried to analyze the Koranic delineation by means of newly- developed devices and elements.
Among these new elements, the present study focuses on the images of color, movement, music and the shape or duration of verses (in terms of sound characteristics) as well as the metaphors in the Koranic Chapter called the Resurrection (Sura Ghiamat). This sura vividly describes the conditions of sinners and disbelievers on the Day of Resurrection, including their mental states and feelings. The present study focuses on six scenes in order to show how the Koranic imagery vividly portrays the truth.
Findings of the present study show that scenes described in the Holy Koran can lend themselves to thisapproach of analysis and holds for all the suras in the Holy Koran, although the present study discusses only the scenes in the sura Ghiamat on the basis of established interpretations.
