Nahjul Blagha is basically the 3rd most important literature among Muslims. After quran and sayings of Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H), Nahjul blagha is referenced. This book Contains the saying of Hazrat Ali ibn-e-abi Talib, the paternal brother, Son-in-law and the successor of Prophet Mohammad(P.B.U.H).Nahjul Balagha consists of 3 main chapters i-e
(1) Sermons
(2) Letters
(3) Sayings
These
sermons and preaching of Hazrat Ali were so highly valued and
venerated in the Islamic world that within a century of his death they
were taught and read as the last word on the Philosophy of mono-theism, as the best lectures for character building, as exalted sources of inspiration, as very persuasive sermons towards piety, as guiding beacons towards truth and justice, as marvelous eulogies of the Holy prophet and the Holy Quran, as convincing discourses on the spiritual values of Islam, as awe inspiring discussions about the attributes of God. as master-piece of literature, and as models of the art of rhetoric’s.
Allama Ibne-abil-Hadeed, the Mothazati commentator of Nahjul Balagha, says that:
Hazrat
Ali had a personality in which opposite characteristics had so
gathered that it was difficult to believe a human mind could manifest
such a combination.He was the bravest man that history could cite and such brave persons are always hardhearted, cruel, and eager for bloodshed.On the contrary Ali was kind, sympathetic, responsive and warm-hearted person, qualities quite contradictory to the other phase of his character and more suited to pious and God fearing persons.
To Oelsner (the famous French Orientals and author of 'Les Effects de La Religion de Mohammed')
Ali was beau ideal of chivalry; and personification of gallantry, bravery and generosity.
He
says:” Pure, gentle and learned without fear and without reproach, he
set the world the noblest example of chivalrous grandeur of character.
His spirit was a pure reflection of that of Mohammed, it overshadowed
the Islamic world and formed the animating genius of succeeding ages".
