al-Amthal (Arabic: أَمْثَال) or singular mathal (Arabic: مَثَل) is actually a literary term used to describe Arabic proverbs. Ancient Arab scholars wrote books called "Kitab al-Amthal" and compiled these proverbs. For this reason, it is observed that the term amthsal, which is originally a plural word, is used as a term.
