Nayef Suleiman's 'The Cultural Encyclopedia of 'Ilal', published by Dar Safa for Publishing and Distribution in 2003, is a comprehensive scholarly work. It meticulously explores the concept of 'Ilal'—the underlying causes, reasons, and rationales—in Arabic linguistics, grammar, and broader cultural contexts. The book serves as an essential reference for specialists and students, systematically presenting complex arguments and historical perspectives that explain why linguistic and cultural rules are structured the way they are. It is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the foundational principles governing the Arabic intellectual tradition.
