Abstract
Humans are social beings and in their social life they need to communicatewith others. Establishing such a communication might be accomplished through oral or written messages. With human’s scientific advances and intellectual development, they invented various ways to communicate with others. One important and effective way to establish contacts with other human beings has beenthe illustration within the messages which is accomplished with the aid of the structure and intonation of words and sentences.In literal discussions, illustration is referred to as “a set of expressive and allegorical impressions illustrated by the speaker or the writer through the words, creating an image in the readers’ or the listeners’ minds. Image is a painting made of words. Elements and components of such an image mightbe analogys, metaphors, allegories, tropes or any other literal or rhetorical figures ofspeech.Illustration is a common advertising practice in human life. We face thousands of messages on a daily basis which provide us with images of a state, government, people, etc., and from which an image is made in our minds.The Holy Koran was offered by the Holy Prophet on god’s behalf to humans in the form of a message. The Koran, in addition to use of various methods of messaging, has benefitted this very effective method, too ; and using various formats of “single and compound images, parables, anecdotes…” has presented illustrations from divinemessages to the humans to persuade them to accept those messages. This paper investigates the matter, hoping that it will draw attention.
