Objectives: This study aims to illuminate metaphorical terms in Gharib al-Quran Books, extrapolate figurative words throughout the entire Qur'an, and classify their metaphorical relationships.
Methods: This study investigates the metaphor terminology in Gharib al-Qur’an Books, then determines its metaphorical relationships, Furthermore, it adopts the descriptive-analytic method to clarify metaphorical causal relationships only, as well as the statistical approach of all metaphors in al-Qur'an.
Results: the present study proved the presence of metaphor in Gharib al-Qur’an Books with its various relationships. In addition, metaphors mentioned by the people of Gharib al-Qur’an books to confirm the figurative meaning that the Qur’anic context has established in the books of interpretations, and to discard the verbal and lexical meaning that may cause misunderstanding. Moreover, ten percent of al-Qur'an uses the phenomenon of metaphor. In contrast, the percentage of metaphor verses in Gharib al-Qur'an Books reached ten percent of the total metaphors in the verses of the entire Qur'an. The study also proved that causal metaphors got the largest percentage of repetition in Gharib al-Qur’an Books compared to other metaphor relationships, followed by containment metaphor.
Conclusions: This study found that Gharib al-Qur’an Books clarified the metaphorical, rather than lexical, meaning of vocabulary, without explicit declarations in the intended words. Notably, linguists have explicitly mentioned this. Ultimately, the richest source in metaphors was the book of al-Gharibian (al-Harawi Book). The study drew on various sources, including Lisan al-Arab by Ibn Manzur and the Spirit of Meanings in the Interpretation of the Great Qur’an by Al-Alusi.
