Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to present metaphors depicting concepts from the semantic field of MERCY in the Quran. The theory of metaphors developed by cognitive linguistics was applied to examine types of metaphors. As a result, seven types were distinguished: MERCY IS AN OBJECT, MERCY IS UP, MERCY IS A LIVING CREATURE, MERCY IS A CONTAINER, MERCY IS A SUBSTANCE, MERCY IS A PROCESS, MERCY IS FOOD. The article analyzes the ways in which these metaphors were used in the Quran. Furthermore, relations between different types of metaphors and the relevant concepts, as well as relations between metaphors and different meanings of the concepts in the semantic field of mercy have been presented.
