The aim of the present study is to elucidate the constituent elements of political identity from the perspective of Nahj al-Balagha. Political identity is one of the most important components of forming a political system and distinguishing the political agency of "us" from "others." Philosophically, identity does not inherently exist but is constructed as the basis for action and behavior. However, politically, identity distinguishes "us" from "others." Political identity involves answering two critical questions: Who am I? and Who am I not? The answers to these questions lead to the differentiation between our identities. With the passing of the Prophet (PBUH) and the beginning of the era of the three caliphs, the foundations of divine political identity were marginalized. However, with the advent of the rule of Imam Ali (AS), through his struggles, the foundations of divine political identity were once again incorporated into his political and governmental framework. Therefore, the study of divine political identity necessitates understanding its constituent elements from the perspective of Nahj al-Balagha. This research, focusing on the importance of political identity, seeks to answer the question: What are the constituent elements of political identity from the perspective of Nahj al-Balagha? The research method is descriptive-analytical, analyzing the content of Nahj al-Balagha's themes. The results indicate that selflessness, duty orientation, opposition to oppression, people's participation, and justice are the main elements considered by Nahj al-Balagha. The implications of employing these elements in the Alawi political system include emphasizing the derivation of power from the eternal divine source, the inseparability of rights and duties in the political system, confronting any form of oppression, relying on the votes and opinions of the people, and implementing complete justice at its highest levels. Therefore, the rulers of the Islamic community must, in line with preserving the Islamic identity of society, emphasize these elements and earnestly endeavor to raise awareness and expand them throughout society so that society becomes increasingly closer to the desired ideals and Islamic values. This path will be accessible through proper political inclusiveness and a step-by-step process, with the design of a clear and precise framework by committed elites and experts.
