التشبيه البليغ أثره وبلاغته في الكلام
No full textThe “Eloquent Simile” is a type of simile that has a profound impact on the audience. It is an effective rhetorical style that captivates both the ears and the hearts. In this form of expression, the speaker equates the "likened" with the "likened to," even though, in reality, the "likened to" is stronger than the "likened." However, in this simile, the "likened to" is made equal to the "likened" with the claim that they are indeed the same, which is clearly a significant exaggeration and a highly impactful style. This type of simile has been extensively used in the Qur'an, Hadith, and the speech of the Arabs, and its influence and eloquence cannot be denied. Anyone with even a basic understanding of Arabic can sense the charm of this rhetorical style
الجاسوس علی القاموس (دراسۃ نقدیۃ تحلیلیۃ)
No full textLexical criticism is a crucial area of literary criticism, prominently represented by Al-Qamus Al-Muhit, which critiques Al-Jawhari's Al-Sihah. The author, Ahmad Faris Al-Shidyaq, emphasized lexical criticism throughout his dictionary, making it a significant reference in this field. The movement began in the early 10th century AH with scholars like Al-Suyuti and evolved in the 11th century with figures such as Baha' Al-Din Al-Amili. By the 14th century, it peaked under Al-Shidyaq and Ahmad Taymour, who both engaged critically with Al-Qamus Al-Muhit. Al-Shidyaq's work Al-Jasous 'ala Al-Qamus, features a preface and twenty-four critiques addressing phrases, structure, meanings, and word derivation in the dictionary. Although he memorized and utilized Al-Qamus Al-Muhit during his travels, he did not hesitate to critique it. His analyses reveal a mix of valid points and criticisms that may stem from textual corruption or his critical approach, highlighting the complexities of lexical criticism in Arabic literature
