Abstract

One of the innovative artistic methods of the Quran in concepts is the use of imagery such as similes and parables, in the light of which logical and real concepts are shown and possible doubts and complications are resolved. According to the visual effects of Sarat, the use of this word in general in the Qur'an and specifically in Surah Hamad has facilitated the transferability of abstract mental meanings to tangible material images so that the traveler, by focusing on these images, can find his way to Understand well and go through. This research aims to identify the visual concepts of the word Sarat in Fatihaal-Katab, in an analytical-descriptive and library method, in order to recognize its visual effects of Sarat for a deep understanding of examples to do. Since, in spite of the researches carried out about the concept and example of the path (and direct path) in the Qur'an, no research has been done on therecognition of the visual effects of the path, this research is responsible for filling a part of this research gap. The results of this research showed that the visual of Sarat reflect these concepts: facilitating understanding, visualizing the course of movement from the origin to the destination, continuous seeking for guidance, connecting and holding fast to the divine thread, entering the field of God's mercy, fear, perseverance, God's arrest from the wayfarers of Sarat, and finslly the union and a color.
