Some books recommended for strengthening one's language

The questioner : Usually, the innovator is strong in language. So what is the way to study the language?

The Shaykh : The way is that you become strong in the language.

The questioner : What are the books of the Shaykh up to the books of the person?

The Shaykh : The books that are available. As for discussing vocabulary, the *Lisan al-Arab* dictionary, or as for discussing meanings and rhetoric, such as the books of 'Abd al-Tahir al-Jurjani (may Allah have mercy on him); his books are beneficial. There are also books written by the later scholars that are good, such as *Al-Balaghah al-Wadihah* among the rules of language. In rhetoric and morphology, in any case, the books are available.

The presenter : Excuse me, Shaykh.

The Shaykh : But the truth is that some students do not have a talent for this thing. And they do not care. If you ask, for example, a senior student about an easy issue that we all know, you will not find in them any knowledge, no science, and no report.
