Takeaways

• 😀 Ilmu Bayan is a sub-discipline of Ilmu Balaghah (the science of eloquence) focused on expressing the same idea using different sentence structures.
• 😀 The core objective of Ilmu Bayan is to communicate the same meaning using varied language forms, enhancing the richness and expressiveness of speech.
• 😀 In Bahasa Indonesia, examples like 'You are beautiful' and 'You are like a blooming flower' showcase how the same praise can be expressed in multiple ways.
• 😀 In Arabic, expressions such as 'He is like an ocean' or 'He has plenty of ash' show how metaphors and figurative language are used to convey generosity.
• 😀 The first technique in Ilmu Bayan is **Tasybih (Simile)**, which compares two things to highlight their shared characteristics, e.g., knowledge being like light.
• 😀 Tasybih has four components: Musyabbah (thing being compared), Musyabbah Bi (thing to compare with), Tasybih (comparison), and Wajah Syabah (shared feature).
• 😀 **Majaz (Metaphor)** involves using words in a figurative sense rather than their literal meaning, either through **Majaz Aqli** (conceptual metaphor) or **Majaz Lughawi** (language-based metaphor).
• 😀 **Majaz Aqli** refers to attributing an action to something that doesn't perform it, while **Majaz Lughawi** can be further divided into **Istiarah** (metaphor with one component omitted) and **Majaz Mursal** (part representing the whole).
• 😀 **Kinayah (Idioms)** are expressions where the meaning is understood culturally, not literally, such as 'Hammalat al-Hadab', referring to someone who spreads slander or mischief.
• 😀 The goal of Ilmu Bayan is to equip individuals with the ability to convey ideas effectively and eloquently by using various rhetorical techniques like Tasybih, Majaz, and Kinayah.
