PAST Q-CONFERENCES
2017 – Metaphoria
The fourth annual CEI Qur’an conference, ‘Metaphoria’, explores 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.
‘Metaphoria’ is derived from two words: ‘metaphor’ and ‘euphoria’. For us, ‘Metaphoria’ is a word that captures the extraordinary imagery in the Qur’an, and how these images and examples are then used to convey powerful meanings.

SESSIONS
During this conference, various teachers explored the themes and styles in the following verses, all containing the word ‘mathal’ (parable/example). These verses were grouped into five sessions, and these 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.
TEACHERS
The sessions were taught by:
- Dr Akram Nadwi
Dr Talal Al-Azem
- Mufti Muhammad ibn Adam
- Shaykh Ahmed Babikir (Video)
- Dr Ibrahim Harvey
