Notes
A treatise on Manṭiq and Kalām in Arabic. Taftāzānī completed its writing in Rajab 789. The original title, according to its introduction, has been غایة تهذیب الکلام فی تحریر المنطق و الکلام . Tahẕīb al-Manṭiq wa-al-Kalām is nearly a complete and brief course of Islamic logic and scholastic theology, a textbook whose prose style shows Taftāzānī's literary skills and his competency in delivering educational content. Taftāzānī has tried to make this work attractive while writing it in a simple and concise style. In his introduction, he states he has written the treatise to educate, inform, and guide the knowledge seekers, his son in particular. Tahẕīb al-Manṭiq wa-al-Kalām includes two parts: Manṭiq, known as Tahẕīb al-Manṭiq, and Kalām, known as Tahẕīb al-Kalām, which have also been used independently. Tahẕīb al-Manṭiq includes an introduction, two 'destinations' (sections) in 14 chapters, and a conclusion. Tahẕīb al-Kalām is in fact an abridged version of Taftāzānī's other work, المقاصد فی علم الکلام , which includes discussions on General Matters and Theology, in a vein appealing to the scholastic system of the followers of Sunnah.

A guidance that is true guidance and a light that is worthy of imitation. And upon his family and companions... After that, this is the goal of refining speech in liberating logic and speech. Bringing the goals closer together and confirming the beliefs of Islam...
