ARABIC 10 METAPHOR AND ITS IMPACT ON THE INTERPRETATION OF IBN ASHOUR IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF SURAT AL-BAQARAH

الاستعارة و أثرها في تفسير ابن عاشور في الربع الأول من سورة البقرة

Abstract

A metaphor is the use of a word in a non-original meaning to a similar relationship with evidence that is prohibited from the original meaning. It is known that the metaphor is not understood without the context in which it is based. For the researcher who studies its conditions, he must understand its context and find out the meaning. From here, we preferred to study the rhetorical structure in the Tafseer of a scholar Ibn Ashur who is known for his own understanding of the Qur’anic text, in order to investigate the connotations of metaphor on the one hand, and to find out his understanding of Quranic metaphor on the other hand. This research aims to highlight the impact of metaphor in Tafseer of Ibn Ashur and explore his rhetorical thinking, relying on the analytical and rhetorical method.
