What are the Arabic language sciences that a student of knowledge needs, other than syntax (nahw) and morphology (sarf)? What are the appropriate books for progressing in them? How can one learn the Arabic tongue well? Is it necessary to memorize their poetry, and what poetry is recommended for memorization?

The Arabic sciences are: syntax (Nahw), morphology (Sarf), calligraphy (Khatt), semantics (Ma'ani), eloquence (Bayan), rhetoric (Badi'), lexicology (Lughah), prosody (Aroodh), rhymes (Qawafi), poetry composition (Qardh al-Shi'r), prose writing (Insha' al-Nathr), and etymology (Ishtiqaq).

The most important of these sciences for a student of knowledge are syntax (Nahw), morphology (Sarf), and the three sciences of rhetoric (Bayan, Ma'ani, and Badi'), preceded by learning the fundamentals of reading and writing.

Recommended books include: "Al-Nahw al-Wadih" (Clear Syntax) and "Al-Balaghah al-Wadihah" (Clear Rhetoric) by Ali al-Jarim and Mustafa Amin; "Sharh Qatr al-Nada" (Commentary on Qatr al-Nada) by Ibn Hisham; "Sharh Durus al-Balaghah" (Commentary on Lessons in Rhetoric) by Sheikh Ibn 'Uthaymeen; and "Al-Tatbiq al-Nahwi" (Applied Syntax) by Dr. 'Abduh al-Rajhi.

Memorizing Arabic poetry helps in mastering Arabic and understanding divine revelation. Recommended books include: "Al-Muntakhab min Adab al-Arab" (Selections from Arabic Literature); "Al-Hamasah" by Abu Tammam; and "Jawahir al-Adab" (Gems of Literature) by Sayyid Ahmad al-Hashimi.
