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. — Multiple dates; Unknown place of origin
