Critique and analysis of Shokri Alousi's view on the sixth letter of Nahj al-Balaghah

The letter of the six Nahj al-Balaghah addressed to Mu'awiyah is a writing in which the Imam (as) spoke to Mu'awiyah about the necessity of allegiance to him and in the manner of his acceptable protest, and gave an argumentative answer to the doubts he had raised. Citing this letter, some Sunni writers considered allegiance to the caliphs in accordance with the view of the Prophet and sought to deny the divine message of the Imamate. Mahmoud Shukri Alusi is one of the authors who, in his book "Al-Sayyuf al-Mashreqah al-Mukhtasar al-Sawa'iq al-Muharraqa", considers the response of Shiite scholars to the above-mentioned suspicion to be inadequate and refutes it with numerous statements. The present article seeks to analyze the validity of his statements. By examining the context of Hazrat's letter and Benjamiyya's view on the installation of Ali (as), what he has stated is denied, and a study of the historical currents of the period of writing the letter and analysis of Hazrat's words about Mu'awiyah, what he seeks to justify his actions. And Mu'awiyah's beliefs have come out, it shakes.
