According to conceptual metaphor theory, abstract concepts are understood based on experiential concepts. There are many types of this kind of conceptualization in the Holy Quran. In this study, 129 verses related to the concepts of Satan / Iblis were studied with the aim of analyzing the pattern of conceptualization of Satan in the Qur'an based on the force schema that plays a central role in human physical experiences. Studies show that in the Quran, seven types of force schemas are used, and in addition, another type of force is introduced as the dominant directional force. The force scheme conceptualized Satan from two perspectives: 1- While Satan presents a powerful and dominant image of himself, God presents him as an ineffective source of power. 2- Satan leads man to obedience by showing ugly deeds beautifully, but the Qur'an, relying on man's undesirable experiences of getting lost, encountering obstacles, and losing balance, introduces Satan as the cause of similar consequences and a negative image. It creates undesirable in the mind of the individual/society from following the devil, which will prevent the tendency towards the Satan

The root of “daraba” which has been used 58 times in the Holy Quran is one of the most complex words in the Arabic language and according to the oldest Arabic lexicons is used for all deeds. One of the issues that can help to understand this word correctly, comprehensively and systematically is etymological study. For this purpose, using the method of etymology, the meanings of ‘daraba’ is found and classified from the earliest meanings, in Afro-Asian and Sami languages. Next, according to this semantic classification, the meanings of “daraba” are examined and categorized in different verses of Quran. It is shown that the Quranic applications of “daraba” are all formulated under the first category of semantics derived from etymology namely tie/mix/wrap. Another root; burning, is not practically used in Quran. Commentators' opinions on the meaning of “daraba” are also reviewed based on etymological results. It is shown that some meanings of “daraba” considered in a range of interpretations are not supported by theological evidences. Foe example, the meaning of beating was not found in the etimological studies and for “idribuhunna” in verse34 of Al-Nasa, based on the etymological results, the meaning of turning over / going is suggested.

Motion is a basic, universal and complex concept that is represented in different languages by different surface expression .Talmy´s studies are the beginning of cognitive linguistic on the subject of movement ;Talmy explains the systematic relations between linguistic surface expression and profound expression.The present article examines the conceptualization of subjective motion verb “Zdahaba” in the Holy Qur'an.The data in this paper, in a figurative analysis, investigate how the motion event is represented. The body of the present study consists of56verses48surface expression were observed as a moving event.28metaphorical and20non metaphorical cases of physical movement were discovered. The results of this study show that all four main components of the motion event, as well as the two sub-components of cause and manner, are present in the studied propositions. The highest frequency among the main components is related to the path component and the moving component of 20 cases, then the figure & ground component to 19 cases to the sub-components, to 13 cases. Another result of the present paper is explaining the occurrence of the common surface expression of the concept of "going" in the concepts of "being eliminated","destroying" and"dying".

Al-Qiyamah is one of the names of the hereafter in the Qur'an that has been used in all applications as a Yum-i-Qiyamah compound, Qur'anic applications indicate that the meaning of Yum-i-Qiyamah is the time of judgment. In the lexicons' works this concept of matter [Q W M], And it is meant to rise from the grave or stand before God, commentators have two views ,stand up from the grave and stand up to God. The study of this material in the Semitic language family illustrates the creative structure of the vertical conceptual schema, which has a rich basis,a concept that can be considered for this material then the concept in the form of a conceptual metaphor as another creative structure in meaning.The concept of metaphor has been used in the language of the Qur'an and the conceptual metaphor has been created, the metaphor of the metaphor on which multiple micro-metaphors are coherent, and the concept of "al-Qiyama" in the Quran is intended for the target audience. ,Conceptualizations about the concept of "al-qiyama" and examining its differences with the concept of "Ba'ath" In some works synonymous with it, another issue has been addressed in the present study
