Abstract:
Allusion is the use of a word in a non-referential sense, along with a metaphor, to add to the rhetoric of the speech. Yusuf Surah is recognized as one of the most prominent Surahs of the Qur'an in terms of narration; therefore, it is expected that the metaphors employed within it also possess such rhetorical excellence. The main issue of this research is to identify the type and characteristics of these metaphors. The proposed hypothesis aims to serve an affirmative and exploratory strategy, through this, the rhetorical features and distinctive qualities of the metaphors used in Yusuf Surah can be revealed. Accordingly, the research seeks to answer the question: What types of metaphors are used in Yusuf Surah? Using an analytical method and verse re-examination, this study endeavors to define the diversity and origins of the metaphors in Surah Yusuf. The results indicate that some of these metaphors originate from pre-Islamic Arabic literature, while others have been innovated exclusively through the Qur'an language. This innovation has enabled the Qur'an to maximally utilize metaphors to depict and illustrate multifaceted, complex, and conventional concepts. The significance of this research lies in demonstrating that metaphors were part of common discourse at the time of revelation, and the Qur'an, with its eloquence, has effectively employed this linguistic tool.
