A Study of the Composition of Quranic Image Verses Based on the Principles of Photography Composition (Case Study of 20 Verses of Ethical Verses)

An image of a subject contains more information than the context of the subject and makes it easier to communicate with the audience. God uses visual language in the Holy Quran to describe his abstract concepts. In the contemporary century, Sayyid Qutb in his Theory of Art Picture in the Qur’an, written in al-Tasvir al-Fani al-Qur’an, deals with the image of artistic creation or artistic representation. Although Sayyid Qutb was the initiator of the artistic view of the Qur’an, after him no one developed the theory and remained at this stage. So the question is, can we extend this theory to a practical product? The purpose of this thesis is to extend Sayyid Qutb’s theory into a practical-artistic Quran. In this study, we examine some visual verses to reach a specific picture frame or art form. To get to this picture, we first examine the content of the verses with different Shiite interpretations in order to understand the relationship between the parables and its meanings. Then, by choosing the key concepts and graphic elements of the visual verse, we will try to produce a suitable art form for it. We will also use the rules of photography composition and illustration for production. The composition consists of aesthetic rules that are entangled with the content of the verses, so that by not adhering to these principles, content transmission is impaired. In this study, 20 visual verses are examined ethically and try to come up with a suitable image or form for each. Finally, a scientific, practical approach is presented.
