According to rhetoricians, metaphor is more eloquent than other expressive tricks and techniques such as simile, metaphor and irony. For in metaphor, simile is forgotten and Mushabbah is claimed to be the same Mushabbahun Bih. Exaggeration in simile, illustration and brevity are three important purposes of any metaphor. Thus, metaphor is at the highest level of rhetoric. In the present article, which is provided by a descriptive-analytical method, a corner of the functions of this art of expression in explaining and depicting the circumstances of the Day of Judgment is shown. And basically, this article seeks to answer the question of whether metaphor had a function in explaining the verses containing the resurrection or not? Based on the findings of this study, God Almighty has used metaphor for purposes such as visualization, recognition, facilitation, influence and illustration in order to guide human beings and to better explain and influence the word in hearts. Among these, the metaphorical allegorical metaphor has the highest frequency.

In the Qur'anic view, the main mission of the prophets and their heavenly books is preaching. If the Qur'an, in some cases, deals with any subject, it has only a preaching approach. If we look at the Qur'an as a book of preaching, we sometimes come across verses that seem untrue: such as the imprisonment of a people called Gog and Magog behind a dam until the Day of Judgment or the dropping of meteors to drive demons out of the sky. Allameh Tabatabai considers these two as untrue and considers the relevant verses as permissible. However, all the commentators of the Qur'an, in the last fourteen hundred years, have all considered these verses to be true, and it is a difficult claim to claim that they misunderstood the Qur'an. The competitive theory, which is discussed in this article, is that those are myths, and in preaching, there is nothing wrong with using the myths of the audience as a tool. This theory, while leaving the verses of the Qur'an on their apparent meaning that all commentators have understood over fourteen centuries, also proves the legitimacy of the Qur'an.

Metaphor is one of the verbal methods to express a particular concept through another one. Lack of proper knowledge of metaphor results in the lack of proper understanding of the text, meaning, and knowledge. The question is whether metaphor can be realized in the language of religion in practical words or not? The answer is that metaphor is not just about meaning. Rather, it exists in religious texts by aligning the calculated order of words and ultimately leads to the realization of practical speech. So, in addition to the beautifying and verbal richness of the text, it also causes an external connection with the outside world and the audience. The most important and remarkable result of the current study is the transition from the stage of meaning to the spirit of the text. Such a process is a dynamic one with the speaker and the listener, also pays attention to the texture of speech.
