<![CDATA[This study analyzes the forms and types of simile (tashbih) and metaphorical expression (majaz) in the Book of Al-Barzanji, exploring its use as a reference for teaching Arabic rhetoric (balaghah) at Pondok Pesantren Tanbihul Ghofilin. The research is driven by the importance of balaghah in language appreciation and the literary and religious significance of Al-Barzanji, which is rich in rhetorical expressions within the pesantren environment. Employing a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach, data were gathered through library research, observations, interviews with teachers and students, and learning documentations. The data were then processed using descriptive rhetorical analysis. The findings reveal that the Book of Al-Barzanji contains various similes including explicit, implicit, emphatic, representative, and non-representative and several forms of majaz, particularly majaz mursal and metaphor (isti‘arah). These styles serve essential aesthetic and semantic functions, strengthening textual meaning and spiritual dimensions. Furthermore, integrating this book into balaghah instruction helps students grasp rhetorical concepts practically and contextually, while enhancing their text-analysis skills and linguistic appreciation. The study concludes that the Book of Al-Barzanji holds significant educational value, making it an effective reference that seamlessly integrates religious, literary, and aesthetic elements for pesantren learning.]]>
