بلاغة الرسول (صلى الله عليه و سلم)‎ في انتهاز الفرصة

Abstract EN

Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is the most eloquent preacher known to mankind and the greatest teacher, who mastered the means of teaching and expression which suite the audience, in terms of convincing, influencing, empowering, clarification and illustration.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, employing and investing events and attitudes are powerful educational and pedagogical methods that address the mind and soul together.

They combine meanings and figurative language, which help stress and ingrain the meaning in the minds of the audience in an eloquent way combining influence and persuasion, benefit and enjoyment.

In this sense, this study is titled: “Eloquence of Prophet (PBUH) in Seizing the Opportunity”, with the aim of highlighting his eloquence, PBUH, in employing the surroundings, investing events and attitudes to clarify and ingrain meanings in the minds of the addressees, with the aim of maximizing the intellectual and emotional communication to achieve the desired effect and persuasion without affectation or extravagance.

Moreover, the study aims to examine instances of seizing the opportunity in the prophetic style, focusing on the style and methods used to establish a link between the opportunity seized and the intended meaning, and how the intended meanings achieved lofty educational goals, which seek to establish a life approach or modify an improper behavior.

The study chooses the term (seizing opportunity), despite the fact that its ostensible meaning could have inappropriate connotations with the honour of the prophetic style, because we believe in the authenticity of the term in the linguistic and rhetorical heritage, adhere to the terms of the righteous forefathers, and to avoid the false dependence of the modernists and their foreign terms.

Al-Jahiz and Abu Hilal Al-Askari, among others, stated that “Al Hendi was asked: what is rhetoric? He said: Clarity of meaning, seizing opportunity, and good reference.

Some Indians said: True rhetoric is having compelling argument and knowing where opportunities lie”.

I pray to Allah that this effort be added in the righteous deeds of the writer and all the readers.

Finally, praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds.

Peace be upon our prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.
