Abstract

The two dualistics of frightening of torture and desire in reward has formed a companying image that their metaphorical use was a necessity required by the Quranic expression. And in that, there is no strangeness in case the speech is adressed both to believers and unbelievers. We find the text makes a symmetrical unit of signs and meanings. So, that who is interested in the state of those in Heaven is frightened by the state of those in Hell in purpose to show what to do on earth and that will make it obvious how and what every one to do.We are about to present one side of the Quranic miraculous sides in this direction. We saw that we have to stay for a long time at the subject The Discription of Torture in the Quranictext so, that who considers attentively the utterance torture he will find that it is described by different descriptions, and the variety of usages the Quran intended and meant every one in its position in harmony with the idea that was to be presented. So, one description is acceptable where no other description is acceptable. Through our view of the base word ( . . .) in the Quran, we found that it has three usages: First, it came definite with the Arabic definite article (), second, it came as premodifier, and third, it came modified definite or indefinite- and this is our field of research.The places where torture was described in holy Quran were (144) places and well aim to count them one by one, then well choose one of them to discuss starting with the one that came most frequently getting benefit from the large number of meaning that the structural reference offers to support the textual reference.
