The Role of the Literary Structures of the Quran to Confirm the Theory of Deeds’ Visualizations
Abstract
Visualization theory, which is used to explain the determination of the quality and howness of rewarding and punishment of human beings‘ deeds, shows the reality of human deeds in the hereafter. According to many scholars and commentators besides rational arguments, there exist ample anecdotal evidence to support this theory. 95 verses of the Quran alluded to the visualization of deeds. According to their different literary structures, these verses are divided into multiple categories. A group of these verses with different interpretaions and terminology such as the visualizations of deeds, the presence of deeds, the examination of deeds explicitly emphasize the visualizaions of deeds in the hereafter. The other special syntactic structures such as denial of questioning, arrest, and criminal deeds in the hereafter denote to the reality of occuring such procedures. The third set of signs with multiple imaging in the form of simile or metaphor such as metaphors for considering good deeds and acts of believers as light and regarding unbelievers‘ deeds as mirage and darkness portrayed.the innate nature of some of the deeds. This article examineed the literary structures and interpretations in the Quran that could provide evidence in support of the theory deeds‘ visualization.
