CLARIFYING THE INTRODUCTIONS TO AL-ḤIKMAH IN THE LIGHT OF QURANIC VERSES, SUNNAH AND "AL-YĀQŪT" BY ʿALLĀMAH ʿABD AL-ʿAZĪZ AL-FIRHĀRWĪ: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY

Abstract

Logic and Debate arts are two complementary fields of study that are essential for effective reasoning and argumentation. They provide individuals with the tools and techniques to construct valid arguments, to identify fallacies and errors in reasoning, and to engage in constructive discourse with others. Mastery of these fields is essential for success in many areas of life, including academia, business, politics, and personal relationships. Logic and debate arts are two fields of study that are closely related, as both are concerned with the correct and effective use of reasoning and argumentation; as Logic is concerned the science of reasoning and argumentation, and it studies the principles and rules that govis concernedct use of arguments and the evaluation of their soundness and validity, and Debate on the other hand, is concerned with the effective use of argumentation in the context of a formal debate or discussion. They involve the use of rhetorical devices and persuasive techniques to convince the audience of the validity of one's argument. The art of debate includes the ability to construct strong arguments, to anticipate and respond to objections, to use evidence and examples effectively, and to deliver arguments with clarity and persuasion. Both logic and debate arts are essential for critical thinking and effective communication. They help individuals to identify and evaluate arguments and to construct well-reasoned and persuasive arguments of their own, and to engage in respectful and constructive discourse with others, and to reach mutually beneficial conclusions based on reason and evidence. So, in this study we will elaborate the the two branches of wisdom: Logic and Debate with exgetics of ʿAllāmah ʿAbd Al-ʿAzīz Al-Firhārwī those he wrote in his valueable manuscript Al-Yāqūt. It will clear communication and make it more effective and improve critical thinking.
