About this work

كتاب «التبصرة» لابن الجوزي هو مجموعة من المجالس التي يذكر فيها سيرة الأنبياء والشخصيات القرآنية، مستنداً إلى سرد قصصي، سجعٍ على آياتٍ قرآنية، وتأملاتٍ في معاني التوحيد والعبادة. يندرج هذا العمل ضمن تصنيف الرقاق والآداب والأذكار، إذ يجمع بين الفصاحة الأدبية والذكر الخالص، ويعتمد على أسلوبٍ بلاغيٍّ يدمج بين السرد والبيان لتوجيه القارئ إلى الأخلاق والفضائل المستقاة من قصص الأنبياء.

This work falls within the classification of letters, etiquette, and remembrance, as it combines literary eloquence and pure remembrance, and relies on a rhetorical style that combines narration and statement to direct the reader to the morals and virtues drawn from the stories of the prophets.
