IMPORTANCE of balagha (in arabic)

I don't know why, but that reminded me immediately of Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullaah, and his style of writing!

you reminded me of this:
The seeker of knowledge must be keen to read the most important reference books, not modern works, because some of the modern writers do not have deep knowledge, so if you read what they have written you will find that it is superficial. They may quote things verbatim, or they may distort them to make them longer, but it is all waffle. So you have to read the most important reference works written by the salaf, because they are better and more blessed than many of the books of the later generation. Most of the books of the later writers are short on meanings but long-winded. You may read a whole page which could have been summarized in one or two lines. But you will find the books of the salaf to be easy, straightforward and well written, with not even one word that has no meaning.

...that reminds me...our teachers have always advised us that a student should always study the classical books and not to be satisfied with the modern books....
