"The Quranic Employment of Tangible Analogies in Constructing Metaphysical Conceptions: An Analytical Study in Light of Cognitive Psychology"

Abstract

This research presents an analytical study of the Quranic methodology in employing sensory parables to construct metaphysical perceptions, based on contemporary cognitive psychology. The significance of this research lies in combining Quranic studies with modern psychological theories to reveal an aspect of Quranic miraculous nature in building perceptions and forming concepts.

The research aims to study the psychological and cognitive mechanisms employed by the Quran in using sensory parables, while demonstrating their compatibility with contemporary learning and perception theories. The research adopted the analytical descriptive method as its primary approach, supported by both inductive and comparative methods. The research material was organized into two main sections: the first dealt with establishing the theoretical and conceptual framework, while the second examined the Quranic employment of sensory parables in building metaphysical perceptions.

The research concluded that there is precise scientific harmony between the Quranic methodology and the findings of cognitive psychology theories in areas of enhancing perception and facilitating learning, recommending intensification of applied studies in cognitive psychology from an Islamic perspective.
