One aspect of language styles in Arabic grammar is al-tawkid. al-Tawkid or termed 'assertion words'  in the Malay language is an important one to be understood in the discussion of languange grammar. This contrastive study is necessary in order to help students' understanding of the language style of tawkid in Arabic language. The main objective of this study is to identify the style of language al-tawkid in Malay and Arabic languages, to analyze aspects of the similarities and differences between both.
