Cognitive linguistics is a modern approach to linguistics that examines the relationship between language, thought, and human bodily experience. Within this framework, image schemas are cognitive patterns arising from human interaction with the surrounding environment and play an important role in the conceptualization of abstract concepts. Since a substantial proportion of Qur'anic concepts are abstract and non-material in nature, examining the cognitive mechanisms through which they are conceptualized can contribute to a deeper understanding of the semantic layers of the Holy Qur'an. Using a descriptive-analytical method within a mixed-methods framework, the present study examines the role of image schemas in the verses of Surah al-Shuʿarāʾ based on Mark Johnson's (1987) Image Schema Theory. The findings show that 91 of the surah's 227 verses contain salient image schemas. Among the identified schemas, the Path schema is the most frequent, with 46 occurrences (50%), followed by the Container schema, with 28 occurrences (30%), and the Force schema, with 17 occurrences (20%). The analysis indicates that the surah's abstract concepts, including revelation, resurrection, Paradise, divine punishment, faith, disbelief, and divine authority, are primarily conceptualized through three fundamental domains of human experience: movement, space, and force. Furthermore, the high frequency of the Path schema is closely associated with the narrative themes of Surah al-Shuʿarāʾ, including the prophets' missions, the descent of revelation, the believers' journey toward salvation, and the ultimate fate of those who deny the truth. The findings suggest that image schemas not only serve a cognitive function but also help make abstract concepts more concrete and facilitate the communication of the Qur'an's theological and ethical messages. Accordingly, image schemas constitute one of the principal mechanisms of conceptualization employed in Surah al-Shuʿarāʾ.
