Abstract
Language is the most characteristic of man the closest to him and the widest windows to the world. It is the carrier of his feelings expressing his thought and through it he interacts with existence giving and receiving - no wonder - if language forms the identity of the human being and shapes his cultural and emotional heritage; His major issues and his primary concerns were those related to the language in general. But if we turn to the Arabic language God - blessed and exalted be He - willed that His words carry these messages in the end of the world. This language was immortalized by this great divine honor and the ancestors of this nation realized the status and honor of this language so they surrounded its knowledge from every side and chased its tributaries from every source; So they gathered the materials and laid down the principles and the successor of this nation was not less perceptive than their predecessor; So they took it upon themselves to study what their predecessors presented in a thorough and meticulous manner so they established divisions fixed conventions and increased the first ones and they had more credit than those who came before them. It is incumbent upon researchers to focus their efforts on studying and investigating these great efforts seeking reward from God first serving this great language and valuing these efforts.
