Finally, the reasons of lexical metaphors used in Sura’ Al Waqi’ah are explaining the idea which is out of human life experience, explaining an abstract thing concretely and explaining something unknown yet with something familiar. Sura’ Al Waqi’ah tells us about the resurrection day. This Sura’ explains about what will happen before and after resurrection day. Resurrection day is an abstract thing. No one in this world has experience about the resurrection day. So, this Sura’ mostly discusses about it. That’s why, the most dominant reason of using lexical metaphor in Sura’ Al Waqi’ah is explaining an abstract thing concretely.
