The book "The Golden Scale in the Art of Arabic Poetry" is one of the most important educational references written for understanding the art of Arabic poetry and its authentic rules. The Arabic poem has always been a record of history and a source of pride and honor, as its verses carry the victories, lineages, and glories of tribes. Because Arabic poetry is linked to meter and rhyme, Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad Al-Farahidi invented the science of prosody to protect it from errors and to distinguish the correct from the corrupt. This book serves as a simplified key for every student of poetry, explaining its meters, metres, and rules of composition in an easy and systematic manner, combining educational authenticity with literary taste. It addresses not only specialists, but every reader interested in Arabic poetry, serving as a golden scale that enables them to distinguish between the beauty of poetry and the weakness of its structure. It is a work that combines scientific rigor and clarity, restoring to the reader the spirit of Arabic poetry in its most refined forms.
