This research addresses several questions: What is the relationship between rhetoric and ethics? Does the science of Arabic rhetoric encourage good morals? And does this appear in its components? It is well-known that the science of Arabic rhetoric trains students to align eloquent speech with the context, teaches them methods to influence audiences, and instructs them on choosing meaning, words, and style. All of this revolves around ethical values that guide this science, which has developed under the umbrella of the Quran and the noble Sunnah. In the discipline, we encounter such terms as truthfulness and falsehood, praise and blame, humor and seriousness, and other ethical aspects, indicating that the science of rhetoric is closely connected to ethics, which are the objective of Islam, the foundation of nations, and the essence of civilization. This research, which makes use of a descriptive-analytical approach, attempts to uncover the ethical aspects embedded in the essential components of Arabic rhetoric such as terminology, evidence, and analysis. The research has reached the inevitable conclusion that Arabic rhetoric is as concerned with noble ethics as it is with conveying meanings to hearts in the finest form of words.
