Areas of writing for Ibn Marzuq al-Hafid Al-Tlemsani (766-842 AH / 1364-1439 AD)

Abstract

Through this article, we will try to talk about an aspect of creativity and ability that distinguished the scholar Ibn Marzouk El Hafid Al-Tlemsani in the world of writing, because he showed great ability to use the sources on which he relied in his books, which allowed him to achieve the desired writing goals, and at the same time it allowed the reader to understand the secrets and subtleties of his work in a way that does not put him in a state of confusion, the nature of the mental, intellectual capacities which characterized our sheikh, allowed him to diversify his fields of writing, because he was not specialized only in a scientific field, he also distinguished himself in the sciences of hadith, jurisprudence, fundamentals and sciences of the Arabic language and logic. This diversity in the production and the multiplicity of fields forced him to seek methodological tools capable of responding to his different reasons for writing, and this was reinforced by a large linguistic stock which reinforced his distinction by the method and the language in which he writes. This intellectual and cultural distinction would not have been possible without its significant and varied balance from the sources on which he relied in his writings with the opinions and ideas he provided.
