Nahj al-Balagha is a book that conveys many Islamic teachings to the audience in an honest and delicate language. Linguistic studies show that Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (PBUH) has used the most metaphorical metaphors and sentences in this book. Accordingly, the fundamental question is, what is the nature and capacity of metaphorical conceptualization in changing thoughts and behaviors that has been used in Nahj al-Balagha as an effective model in understanding and transmitting religious teachings to the audience? Using a descriptive-analytical and documentary method, this paper analyzes the capacities of metaphorical conceptualization in understanding and transmitting religious teachings in Nahj al-Balagha. Metaphorical conceptualization is a type of intellectual and cognitive phenomenon that has capacities such as, creating meaning and theorizing, persuading the audience, demonstrating the intellectual, social and political discourse of the individual and society.  The delicate use of this capacity has made Nahj al-Balagha appear as a glorious and powerful religious medium in presenting Islamic concepts and teachings.

The social norms and anomalies are among the issues discussed in sociology. In psychology, norm is a rule and criterion for behavior and arrangement of relationships that the majority emulate, and non-conformity with it would entail punishment. In one respect, norms are certain conducts which are based on the observance of social values which would bring orderliness to the society.Imam ‘Alī (A.S.) assumed the reins of government as an Islamic ruler and proceeded to reform the Muslim community a quarter of century after the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.)'s demise while some problems had arisen in the community. ‘Alī (A.S.)'s sayings in Nahj al-Balāgha, especially some major parts of it which had been delivered during his direct rule and responsibility in running the community, are of special significant in this regard.The present article seeks to express the viewpoints of Nahj al-Balāgha and analyze the norms and values in order to thereby achieve trusted approaches in strengthening helpful norms, restraining abnormalities, and transforming norms to social values.Teachings of Nahj al-Balāgha in this respect suggest that Imam ‘Alī (A.S.), besides encouraging people and creating the elements and circumstances to follow religious norms, enjoined them to follow useful social norms and stressed on not following detrimental and paganist norms.

This paper aims to show how, in the mystical journey, “time” can promote a seeker’s level of closeness to Allah, based on the Alawi Teachings in Nahj al-Balagha.

Among the goals of Islamic education are paying attentions to practical mysticism, preparing the necessary elements for mystical journey and expanding its teachings. Since the mystical teachings of Nahj al-Balagha have had a significant impact on later Muslim scholars, such as Imam Khomeini, it is important to consider how and to what extent Imam Khomeini was influenced by the word of Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha, including the notion of Yaghze, which is one of the earliest stages of practical mysticism. Given the profound impact of Islamic education on the country's cultural promotion, it is necessary to explain the policies outlined by Imam Ali and the founder of the Islamic Revolution in this regard. The present article through descriptive-analytical study, after explaining the concept of Yaghze (awakening) with an intertextual approach as one of the new approaches to reading and analyzing text, examines the relevance and effectiveness of Imam Khomeini's views and theories in the light of common elements of Imam Ali's words in Nahj al-Balagha. In this regard, the question is to what extent has Imam Khomeini been influenced by the words of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha on the subject of Yaghze (awakening)? The research hypothesis is that the concept of Yaghze has been used with limited repetition in Imam Khomeini's works, but in most of its applications, Imam Khomeini has been directly influenced by Nahj al-Balagha.

Accordingly, the spiritual society is established when religious behaviors are pervasive in our society.
