Abstract

This research examines the phenomenon of antithesis and paronomasia in the poetic collection “Arsh Bilkis” authored by Adam Ishaq, popularly known as Abu Halimatain. The study aims to identify, analyze, and interpret the stylistic devices of antithesis (al-taḍādd) and paronomasia (al-jinās) as they appear in selected poems within the collection. These rhetorical features are among the most prominent elements of al-badi‘ in Arabic literary tradition, contributing significantly to the aesthetic, semantic, and expressive qualities of poetry.
