  There is a hand – to hand relation between practical commitment to moral values, commitment to divine commands and decrees, strengthening religious culture in society and limiting the spread of corruption and non-observance of social principles. The present study’s purpose is the pathology of the performing social ethics in the present era from Qur'an and Nahj Al-Balaghah’s viewpoint. The data collection method is a documentary – librarian that has drawn a semantic inclusion in each category by examining the frequency of verses and chapters of Holy Quran as well as sermons, letters and words of Nahj Al-Balaghah, in the concept of social ethics; and studies the issue based on the verses of Holy Qur'an and Nahj Al-Balaghah by covering three stages of description, analysis and explanation (interpretation). The results show that one of the central and fundamental issues in the field of social ethics is to recognize the factors and obstacles of performing social ethics in the present era. Awareness and education of ethics, promotion of moral values, introduction of moral models, dealing with immoral manifestations and strengthening spirituality in society are effective in achieving social ethics.

  Subject and its attitudes – which precedence and subservience – are the issues of very important in semantics that manifests in different forms such as subject, character and something similar. Subject's rank is precedence; because its reason is the first thing comes to mind.

Thus he does not only mean attempt and specialty; but also encourage, worship, adoration, bow, humility, pray and etc. Manuscript profile

  Convincing addressee has been and still is one of the best means of influence on the other persons. It is an effective figurative device for impact on the addressees. This device enumerated as the basic axis in conveying ideas and realization of goals between the speaker and addressee through means of convincing and excitement. Firm argumentation and reasoning is one of the distinguished characteristics of this communicative attitude. The present article studies some simple instances of the convincing addressees processes in the sayings of an orator most benefited from this literary device, because his letters are full of material in terms of form, theme and integrity between elements and relations, and the text manifests as an integrate and harmonious whole. This article studies argumentation and convincing addressee in his letter to Oṯmān bin Ḥonaif (one of his appointees) and seeks to study in descriptive-analytic method, how convincing techniques and processes are applied in the structure of this letter. Some of the consequences of the study are: the letter gives the addressee a deep and new attitude and worldview; The letter has an argumentative nature and Imam tries to execute his objectives through convincing and his eloquent language is equipped with several ways. In addition, the writer and sender of the letter sometimes praises and sometimes blames himself within his communicative strategy. According to one of the strategies to communicate with the addressee, the speaker descends from his political and social status to have emotional contact and personal unity. The speaker's simile pictures that are based on various forms lead the addressee to have reaction in discovering shared string between these forms. Manuscript profile

  Ali Haji-Khani Amir Farhang-Niya

  The issue of blaming and forging is not unique to any homeland or literature, and its footprint is evident in the literature of every nation from the beginning to modern civilization. Therefore, the subject of narration and denial in poetry and literature has been examined at various times and in the modern era many challenges have arisen. Ibn Khallikan is the first to raise the issue of doubt in Nahj al-Balagha and its relation to Imam Ali (AS). Then many followers met him. In this regard, this essay aims to answer questions about the origin and the proportion of forgery in Nahj al-Balagha and the main reasons for rejecting it. According to Ibn Khallikan, his doubts about Nahj al-Balagha can be summed up in two points in the gathering of Nahj al-Balagha between Sharif Razi and Sharif Morteza, and in the correctness of Nahj al-Balagha's relation to Imam Ali (AS). This article attempts to use the descriptive-analytical method to answer the above-mentioned doubts based on narrative and religious reasons, and the narratives and ways of tolerance of hadith. Among the results of this research is that Sharif Razi is the collector of Nahj al-Balagha, not Sharif Morteza, as well as the ultimate theory in Nahj al-Balagha, and that Sharif Razi is the propeller of this work, not its collector, is in vain.

     The art of imagination as a literary element, containing critical components such as image, emotion, language, reality and etc., is highly emphasized in studying and criticizing a literary script. Imam Ali has remarkably used this literary element to convey religious, ethical and social concepts. Since this literary element is closely related to style and different types of that, thus we tried to study the art of imagination in Imam Ali's letters based on various kinds of styles. This study, which uses descriptive-analytical method, concluds that "style" plays the pivotal role in the expression of literary imaginations in Imam Ali's letters and  in determining the position and success of their application.

  No doubt Nahj Al-balaghah is one of the greatest religious books after Holy Quran and its content including sermons, letters, and philosophies serve as a bright light that guides humans and they find path to growth and guidance with its light beam. This place is because Nahj Al-balaghah was inspired by contents of Quran and the Prophet’s tradition. Imam Ali reflects rhetoric and eloquence in his speech with most beautiful and amazing form but over time, some people doubted nobility and content of Nahj Al-balaghah which Doubt in Volume of Nahj Albalaghah and Prolongation Existence in Imam's Speech is among verbal or shape doubts proposed in this respect and some sermons such as Al-Qase'aeh, Al-ashbah, and Imam's letter to Al-malik Al-ashtar Nakhaee have been criticized for being lengthy and prolixity and with this reason that during early Islam and Imam Ali's era, this method in prolixity and lengthy speeches was not popular and experienced. This article aims to respond this doubt using analytical- descriptive method and different reasons including proving history of long sermons during Imam Ali's era and proportionality of prolixity and brevity in speech based on era atmosphere of speaker or listener and also place and condition of delivering sermon. So this was concluded that different factors have influenced prolixity in imam's speech for example imam's letter to Al-malik Al-ashtar has been generally written in fact for all rulers and governors and Al-malik has been addressed specially as a ruler and importance of subject is the ground for prolixity and lengthiness of Imam's speech.  Manuscript profile
