One of the most influential works of the Islamic-Arabic library, Nahj al-Balāghah is al-Sharīf al-Raḍī’s (d. 406/1015) compendium of the orations, letters, and wisdom sayings of ʿAlī (d. 40/661). This meticulously researched critical edition and lucid, annotated translation showcase the eloquence and power of this celebrated collection.
Nahj al-Balāghah, the celebrated compendium of orations, letters, and sayings of ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (d. 40/661) compiled by al-Sharīf al-Raḍī (d. 406/1015), is a masterpiece of Arabic literature and Islamic wisdom studied and memorized avidly and continually for over a thousand years. Showcasing ʿAlī’s life and travails in his own words, it also transcribes his profound reflections on piety and virtue, and on just and compassionate governance. Tahera Qutbuddin’s meticulously researched critical edition based on the earliest 5th/11th-century manuscripts, with a lucid, annotated facing-page translation, brings to the modern reader the power and beauty of this influential text, and confirms the aptness of Raḍī’s title, “The Way of Eloquence.”
