Features of Abdul Qahir al-Jurjani's linguistic lesson through his books, "Dala'il al-I'jaz" and "Asrar al-Balagha"

Abdul Qaher Al-Jurjani (471 AH) is considered a prominent figure in the Arabic linguistic heritage; he was distinguished by what he wrote in the sciences of Arabic, such as grammar, morphology, prosody, rhetoric, and interpretation. He is one of the figures in the Arabic linguistic heritage that distinguished scholars in the Arab and Islamic heritage. His writings also showed novel and foundational scientific endeavors. In fact, scholars and researchers have paid great attention to Al-Jurjani's writings, both ancient and modern, in terms of explanation, interpretation, investigation, analysis, review, and comparison. Despite this, there remains an urgent need to return to Al-Jurjani to explore novel aspects of his production, and to re-read his concepts in light of new theses. Al-Jurjani's heritage is a valuable heritage and worthy of providing many answers to the problems that hinder the development of Arabic linguistic research, and opens the way to reconsidering the many readings that have read Al-Jurjani's heritage in light of contemporary intellectual and linguistic trends. Returning to heritage in general, and Al-Jurjani’s writings in particular, in this era characterized by the technological and digital revolution, is neither glorification nor a form of self-absorption and self-isolation. Rather, it is an approach to building the present and anticipating the future. It is also a cognitive necessity to review and revise researchers’ readings of Al-Jurjani’s heritage, to understand the origins of his linguistic thinking and references, and to monitor the extensions of this linguistic thinking in his contemporaries and those who came after him. What is Al-Jurjani’s intellectual methodology? What is the scientific path worthy of reading and studying him? These are the questions that we would like to answer according to the descriptive and analytical approach.

Abstract

Abdul Qaher Al-Jurjani (471 AH) is considered a prominent figure in the Arabic linguistic heritage; he was distinguished by what he wrote in the sciences of Arabic, such as grammar, morphology, prosody, rhetoric, and interpretation. He is one of the figures in the Arabic linguistic heritage that distinguished scholars in the Arab and Islamic heritage. His writings also showed novel and foundational scientific endeavors. In fact, scholars and researchers have paid great attention to Al-Jurjani's writings, both ancient and modern, in terms of explanation, interpretation, investigation, analysis, review, and comparison. Despite this, there remains an urgent need to return to Al-Jurjani to explore novel aspects of his production, and to re-read his concepts in light of new theses. Al-Jurjani's heritage is a valuable heritage and worthy of providing many answers to the problems that hinder the development of Arabic linguistic research, and opens the way to reconsidering the many readings that have read Al-Jurjani's heritage in light of contemporary intellectual and linguistic trends. Returning to heritage in general, and Al-Jurjani’s writings in particular, in this era characterized by the technological and digital revolution, is neither glorification nor a form of self-absorption and self-isolation. Rather, it is an approach to building the present and anticipating the future. It is also a cognitive necessity to review and revise researchers’ readings of Al-Jurjani’s heritage, to understand the origins of his linguistic thinking and references, and to monitor the extensions of this linguistic thinking in his contemporaries and those who came after him. What is Al-Jurjani’s intellectual methodology? What is the scientific path worthy of reading and studying him? These are the questions that we would like to answer according to the descriptive and analytical approach.
