METAPHORIA

An exciting seven week short course exploring selected Metaphors in the Qur’an

Metaphors are used to enhance the effect of what is being said by making it beautiful, impressive, aesthetically striking, and semantically powerful. During this course, we explored the themes and styles in the following verses all containing the word ‘mathal’.

The sessions highlighted how the images are used to present contrasting concepts, describe human traits, highlight the power of God, clarify the nature of the world or simply introduce inspiring narratives
