The Solutions of Evading Sedition Based on the Perspective of Nahjolbalaghah

As time passes and new conditions come up, human communities may encounter various kinds of destructive social phenomena one of which is sedition. In sedition, as the truth and falsity are mixed up, the situation becomes dim and defrauding. To overcome this situation one should have cognition by which he/she can evade the negative consequences of sedition through the Islamic teachings and applying them in cases of anarchy.In Islamic instructions many solutions have been offered for safeguarding against the outcomes of sedition. Nahjolbalaghah which is sometimes called "The brother of Quran", a book reflecting the speeches of the one who called himself "speaking Quran" and who experienced and successfully managed many cases of political riots in his own reign, which threatened the newly established Islamic government, can be the best source for such solutions. The present study will inspect this issue from three different perspectives: Theological (To resort to the Quran and Ahlol Bayt, Piety), ethical (avoiding arrogance and welfare, refraining from egotistical behavior, earning unlawful income, enmity, and all evil acts and pretending to be innocent before God) and behavioral aspects (developing insight, perseverance, keeping unity and adhering to the divine rules, keeping away from rioters and disobeying the satanic temptations)
