Translating the Holy Quran requires extensive knowledge and awareness of the art of translation and interpretation, as well as several other important features. Among these indicators is the science of rhetoric, and one of its branches is metaphor, which has great value and importance in translation. As one of the most important types and expressive structures of metaphor, metaphor holds a high epistemological and aesthetic significance. In the field of translation studies, many experts consider translating metaphor to be the most difficult part of translating a text. This issue becomes even more important when translating a divinely revealed text such as the Holy Quran. Metaphor is frequently used in the Quran, and its correct translation is one of the most important and perhaps most difficult tasks. Its translation is one of the challenges facing translators, and it contains many subtleties that, if not addressed, prevent a new and successful final achievement. In the meantime, the translator of the Quran must strive to master the subject of metaphor and seek the advice of rhetoricians, commentators, and Quranic researchers to accurately render the text into the target language. In the same vein, Antonia Alvarez presented five metaphor translation techniques that can be used to translate metaphors into the target language. In this article, after a brief overview of the general definition of metaphor and an explanation of the structures and frameworks proposed by Antonia Alvarez for metaphor translation, we will conduct a comparative analysis of Ansarian and Makarem
