Cognitive linguistics is a relatively new academic field that emerged within the broader domain of cognitive sciences, which study the mind and its various processes. This field came to prominence through the works of linguists such as George Lakoff and Mark Johnson, who emphasized that language itself is a form of knowledge. They proposed approaches to language that prioritize its semantic function and focus on meaning, introducing interdisciplinary methodologies and diverse modes of inquiry that share certain characteristics under the umbrella of "cognitive linguistics". They also outlined a number of general conceptual frameworks considered central to this field, including conceptual metaphor, embodiment, mental spaces, and others. In light of the value of modern methodologies in deepening our understanding of the Qur'an and expanding our religious knowledge, this article aims to analyze and critique this emerging field-cognitive linguistics-and to highlight one of its key models: conceptual metaphor, as represented in the Qur'anic text. We conclude that cognitive linguistics faces several challenges, most notably the need for precision in identifying overarching structures, and the importance of avoiding linguistic relativism and the idea that thought is determined by language, which could undermine the universality of these structures and of cognitive specialization as a whole. It is also crucial to maintain boundaries between academic disciplines and to be cautious about incorporating intuition into cognitive methodology, as this risks compromising the field's empirical foundations. Moreover, we illustrate how the Qur'an effectively employs conceptual metaphor to convey abstract, non-embodied meanings through embodied concepts.
