Abstract

Al-Mushkala is an original Arabic Art manifested in poetic composition and in eloquent speech. It is well known by Arab rhetoricians since it belongs to one of the arts of Arabic rhetoric, namely, cilmul Badcil Macnawiyy (the art of good style related to meaning). In fact, it is one of Al-Muhassintul Badciyya (the ornamentation of the art of good style) (Rashd, ND: 76). In addition, it is considered a verbal rhetoric repetition which shows musical harmony that captures the attention of good-taste-listeners (ibid). Rhetoricians have disagreed upon whether Al-Mushkala is a real meaning (propose sense) or a metaphor (figurative expression).
