Duroos al-Balaaghah

This is a seminal work by the renowned master of Arabic rhetoric, Imam Jalal al-Din al-Qazwini (d. 739H). This text is a brilliant abridgment of the third part of Miftah al-'Ulum by Abu Ya'qub al-Sakkaki (d. 626H). Al-Qazwini refined al-Sakkaki's work, improving its organization, clarifying definitions, and removing complexities, making the advanced sciences of rhetoric more systematic and accessible.
Due to its clarity and pedagogical structure, Talkhis al-Miftah became the definitive textbook for studying Balaghah across the Islamic world for centuries. Its impact was so profound that it superseded its source text and became the central work around which nearly all subsequent rhetorical studies revolved. Its importance is evidenced by numerous major commentaries, notably al-Taftazani's Al-Mutawwal and al-Qazwini's own Al-Idah.
The single-volume Dar Al-Lubab edition, verified by Dr. Diya' al-Din al-Qalash, is based on seven manuscripts, five written during the author's lifetime, with some reviewed and annotated by al-Qazwini himself, making it uniquely authoritative.
