Abstract
Metaphor has been generally contemplated and broke down inside the schema of verbal and written discourse, scholarly works and artistic studies. It has been identified with metaphorical language and has been viewed as quite recently a sort of aesthetic frivolity (Murray & Moon, 2006). In addition, conventional instructing of metaphors presents language as an abnormal or different method for using it (Goatly, 1997). Likewise, as Goatly has put it, scholars have needed figures of speech strictly limited to writing, talk and craftsmanship. Moreover, metaphor is viewed as something that fits in with abstract structures which is more concerned with novel or intriguing uses of words. Lakoff & Johnson (1980) presented an alternate idea and perspective of metaphor which is known as reasonable metaphorical dissection. The theory underlying this new approach is that the reasonable metaphors enter our understanding of our general surroundings and they shape our demeanor. Appropriately, as pointed out by Lakoff & Johnson (1980), metaphor is available in ordinary discourse, in every language, and is to a certain degree, has gotten to be culturally specific. Besides both contend that metaphors affect our way of viewing the meanings and are discovered widely in a significant number of our languages, contemplations and activities.

The present study sets to explore the utilization of nature phenomena as metaphors in the Holy Quran inside CharterisBlak's structure
It gives him knowledge about something he did not know or only partly knew by making it analogous to something he can imagine. This is a fairly common resource in literary language as Lakoff and Turner admits that. Though these can be combined and elaborated in novel ways and expressed poetically in various ways, such variety starts from the small set of basic metaphors
Summary
Metaphor has been defined in a variety of ways. According to Merriam Webster's Dictionary (1999), metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase denoting one kind of object or idea is used in place of another to suggest likeness or analogy between them, like drowning in money. Charteris-Black (2004:21) shows metaphor as "a linguistic representation that results from the shift in the use of a word or phrase." In this respect, Ross (1952:1457) views metaphor as "giving the thing a name that belongs to something else." The etymological origin of the word metaphor is from the Greek meta which means with and phor which means carry.2. The present study sets to explore the utilization of nature phenomena as metaphors in the Holy Quran inside CharterisBlak's structure. As per this system, metaphors are dissected and in a progressive methodical order. What's more, the skeleton of examination is a composite of phonetic, semantic, mental, and logical segments. The reason for this structure is to give elucidations, clarifications and capacities of metaphor use in diverse classifications. The study tackles this frame to discover how far metaphorical entities in the Holy Quran encompass various characterizations and features. The study tries to give understandings, clarifications and capacities for the use of metaphors in the Holy Quran
