Abstract

The Holy Quran has used the word "Inda" many times to convey its meanings. In its initial meaning, this world encodes the concept of "with", but in all cases, the use of this word is not limited to this meaning in the Quran, and being placed in different contexts, it shows news conceptual metaphors, and in most verses, this word has the same meaning of "Inda". The present study descriptively-analytically examines the conceptual metaphors of the world "Inda" in the Holy Quran and its equivalent translations to determine the extent to which the translations of Fooladvand, Mousavi Hamedani, Khorramshahi, Elahi Qomshei are close to its metaphorical meaning. It is concluded that the selection of equal metaphorical concepts for "Inda" has been difficult for translators and it has been limited to conventional equivalent expression. Conceptual metaphors used by the word "Inda" in the Holy Quran include divine judgment, certainty /maintenance, knowledge and ownership, from (assignment of lordship), proximity, Qurb (closeness), Fi (in). By examining the translation of 23 verses of the research on the metaphorical meanings of the word "Inda", Khorramshahi’s translation has used more metaphorical concepts in translation than other translations.
