Abstract

Conceptual metaphor in the cognitive semantics approach, which is a branch of cognitive linguistics, is one of the main mechanisms of the thinking process and a tool for expressing abstract concepts in the form of objective concepts.

One of the applications of conceptual metaphors is a tool for analysis and worldview of texts, especially religious and Quranic texts.

The present study, with a descriptive-analytical approach, conceptualizes the name of the mappings in the Holy Qur'an, which are very creative metaphorical models for depicting the afterlife, based on the conceptual metaphor theory of Lakoff and Johnson. Mapping the components of the source domain to the target domain is the main framework of the present study. This study aims to identify systematic correspondences between the familiar concepts of the source domain and the indescribable concepts of the world of the hereafter based on the theory of conceptual metaphor with the conceptualization of name of the mappings of the Hereafter life in the Holy Quran And explain the mappings between the structural elements of the source domain and target domain. The most important findings of this study are the inference of the name of the mappings of the Hereafter in the Holy Quran and Identify systematic correspondences between the domain of the "hereafter" as the domain of "target" and the domains of the source. The domains of
