Abstract

In explaining the concept of the truth of man's creation and the importance of his finalism, the Holy Quran considers life as a metaphor for business and creates conceptualization in the field of dealing between man and God. Considering the inherent and qualitative differences with worldly transactions, this transaction can bring eternal happiness and countless benefits to humans. This article, using a descriptive-analytical method, examines the mental spaces resulting from Fauconie's theory, around worldly and otherworldly transactions, and in the meantime, it has described and discussed the method and result of the conceptual fusion between these two spaces. In the end, the conclusion was reached that the integration of the conceptual spaces of human business with the divine transaction causes the logic and rational abstraction of a believer to understand the profit in faith, communication with God, belief in the resurrection and accurate measurement of meaning. In this mental mapping, the input field of faith and belief is combined with the field of transaction, trade and profit, immortality and hereafter happiness. Now, if this fusion is not done, the material calculating mind will prevail over the abstract mind and settle for the liquidity of the world's transactions. In other words, this conceptual mixture enhances the mental abstraction of man in dealing with supernatural issues such as God, resurrection, calculation of deeds, heaven and hell, and the knowledge obtained leads to the strengthening of the influential elements in this discussion.
