Abstract

This study examines the orientational metaphors in the Holy Qur’an
which contribute to the cardinal Qur’anic theme of peace, based on the
conceptual metaphor framework developed by George Lakoff and Mark
Johnson (1980), and the Pragglejaz model of Metaphor Identification
(2010). This paper will focus on orientational metaphors.
