Cognitive linguistics reconceptualizes metaphor as a fundamental mechanism for understanding abstract concepts through embodied experience. This study applies Lakoff and Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory to analyze two seminal works of Imam al-Sajjad: Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya and The Fifteen Whispered Prayers (Al-Munajat al-Khams Ashar). Using a descriptive-analytical method, the research examines how metaphysical concepts—such as the Divine Essence and the nature of sin—are mapped onto tangible image schemas within the original Arabic texts.
The results demonstrate that situational context significantly influences metaphorical selection. In Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, dominated by didactic and social functions, structural metaphors emphasizing power (e.g., GOD IS A KING, SIN IS A HEAVY BURDEN) prevail. Conversely, the introspective and mystical Fifteen Whispered Prayers rely on ontological and sensory metaphors (e.g., LONGING IS THIRST, GOD IS A PHYSICIAN). The study concludes that Imam al-Sajjad’s discourse strategically employs metaphors to render the servant-Lord relationship tangible, effectively navigating the dual dimensions of Divine Majesty (Jalal) and Divine Beauty (Jamal).
