Abstract
Resemblance is a well-known device in oratory. In this article, ten samples of the verses of the Holy Quran, in which resemblance has been used, are reviewed, and the views and analysis of interpreters and scholars specializing in Quran are explained. The main point is that the application of concepts such as ‘mind’, ‘conscience’, ‘ego’, ‘soul’, ‘ridicule’, forgetfulness’, ‘wile’, ‘deception’ etc. to the holy nature of God is not admissible, and, in case these concepts have emerged in the verses [of Quran], they have been used with for the sake of uniformity, similarity, and syntactic and rhetorical symmetry, which is one of the literary styles of this holy book.
