yes unfortunatly ull need to know arabic to fully understand it....but it will change ur experience of listening or reciting the quran dramatically when u have learnt it.
plus u know where Allah mentions in the quran
Say: "If the whole of mankind and Jinns were to gather together to produce the like of this Qur'an, they could not produce the like thereof, even if they backed up each other with help and support.
well after u have mastered balagah u will realise the true gravity of that verse...
may allah give us the true understanding of the quran...ameen

ar you able to explain it...
...desperate for husnul-khitaam...
please make dua that Allah grants me a good end (to my life). please make dua that Allah guides me.
well 1stly balagah is a vast subject/art....but branches out into 3 main parts :
1. meanings (maani)
2. speech (bayan)
3. innovator (badee3) ...sorry for poor translation but its not so important here...
meaning= deals with the begining of sentences cutting words out adding them empahsisng certain words.....
i think the best thing that comes to my mind is e.g. when someone says where is imran? the answer can be either: imran is in the house or (just) in the house.
speech= more to do with metaphors , examples , comparing.... e.g. imran is a mountain ....which doesnt mean hes a mountain literally( he might be bigggg!) but it compares his status or his knowledge with the hugeness of a mountain..
the last badee3= to do with rhyming words or the usage of words having the same rootword.... e.g. in english to be or not to beor i wrote the tab on my bat
obviously theres more to it than that.....oh yes and u have to have a natural taste for it..
hope u could find ur way thru my intangling wild translation/ interpretation of balagah!
sorry for mistakes
thanks ukhtee...
and yes i have studied it ...
....i studied a book called droos albalagah its a simple 'matan'
....also albalagah alwadiha
....talkhees almiftah which is another matan kinda muglaq if u know what i mean
....and some mukhtasar almaani by al imam saad taftazaani
.... also i benefitted alot my teachers..
some very beneficial and easy to understand books are balagh alwadiha and albalagh alarabiya by almaydani (u can get this on the net) http://www.altafsir.com/MiscellaneousBooks.asp
hope that helps..
and i hope u get a chance to study it really it will give u a new depth into the beauty of the words of the quran..
by the way u gota know arabic for these books!!
Allaah yubaarik feek for answering my questions. That's quite a handful of books you studied there, WaffaqakAllah.
Al-Balaagha Al-Wadihah & Talkheesul-Miftaah are one's Im familiar with. I've read through the former a few times, but unfortunately this isnt a self tutorial kinda topic is it?
sorry for late reply just came back from the mosque
yes ...balagah isnt all selftutorial even if the main topics maybe well be....
...and yes maybe almawahiida ...however i only gave the most brief interpretation of the subject whihc falls very short of reality....
thynks
and i would love to teach it someday if i get the chance..
Na'am. InshaAllaah you'll get the chance to teach it someday. Maybe you can open up a thread going through the basics with those who are interested here?
small speech but which has a vast meaning
I was given that same definition too, but in arabic.
