The Making of Skilled Orator - Dr. Ahmad at-Tayyar

In this book, Sheikh Ahmed Ibn Nasser Al-Tayyar deals with the basic skills and the foundations of becoming a successful orator. In these pages, he discusses the factors that help the orator to deliver a speech, how the orator prepares for his speech, and assesses the extent of its impact on people.

Oratory is not an ordinary skill, but it can be as effective as magic and eloquence, as in Sahih al-Bukhari, on the authority of Ibn Omar, may Allah be pleased with him: “Two men came from the East and addressed the people who wondered at their eloquent speeches.” On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Some eloquent speech is as effective as magic.”
