World in Nahj-ol-Balagheh and its Comparison with Quranic Themes

The world and the Hereafter and the relationship between the two is among the most important issues raised in Islamic teachings including those offered by Quran and hadith. Since the beginning of the emergence of Islam, Islamic scholars, including the commentators of the Quran, hadith scholars, preachers and researchers, have always dealt with this issue. A major part of the highly valued Nahj-ol-Balagheh has also been allocated to this theme. In this article, the researchers aim at finding and introducing the relationships that are evident in the language of Imam Ali (a.s.) and that of the Holy Quran. We have categorized and presented a summary of the themes in Nahj-ol-Balagheh related to "the world" and "the love of the world" and then compared them with what the Quran says in this respect.
