Journal Title: رهیافتهایی در علوم قرآن و حدیث - Year 2014, Vol 46, Issue 92
Abstract
This article consists of two sections: 1. The theoretical section, which includes an introduction about aesthetic illustration and chronological order of the earlier critics who have presented beautiful illustrations of the Holy Qur’ān as well as the beautiful Qur’ānic illustrations in modern researches. 2. The comparative section, which includes a brief glance at previous researches on the aesthetic illustrations in general and the Qur’ānic conversation in particular. In this article, we have divided conversations into specific and general illustrations, and then explained the subject with a technical and aesthetical analysis, elucidated the rhetorical and aesthetical discourses including the consistency of the single words and verses, and divided them into verbal and figurative. We have given evidences for each section and have taken into consideration the technical and religious phrasing and images such as cane (symbol of power), hand (symbol of work and whiteness), and the ropes (symbol of the witches’ power and deception); and finally, we have given evidences of the verses of the Qur’ān for each section of the conversations, which shows to the reader its aesthetic illustration and its impact on communicating messages to the readers.
