Man is a perfectionist being and needs to identify obstacles in his path to promote growth. One of the greatest hindrances to human perfection is the devil or Satan. Considering the role of Satan in misguiding man and the concurrent advice of Imam Ali (AS) in this regard can be found in his highest and most important sermon known as Qaseh, which was delivered after the battle of Nahrawan. In this sermon, the Imam vigorously tried to explain the nature of the devil, to provide a comprehensive picture of the stages of his influence on man and the strategies to deal with it. Accordingly, using the method of "content analysis" and the technique of "qualitative content analysis" in this research, the most important themes and conceptual components expressed in relation to the devil have been identified. This is while extracting the main and secondary themes, citing the words of Imam Ali (AS) in the sermon of Qaseh, to explain components such as: examining the word Satan and Iblis (the titles of the devil), representatives and confirmers of Satan, the scope of Satan's vicious activity, the factors of Satan's disgust, Satan's strategies to deceive man and the stages of his influence and finally, the doctrinal and practical strategies that can prevent the influence of the devil on man. Finally, based on the words of the Imam, an attempt has been made to provide a comprehensive picture of the category of "knowing the devil".

Nowadays, in dealing with crime a policy is being credited that accounts the aspects of preventive features beside penalization, aiming at crime prevention. A scrutiny in Imam Ali’s holy order, which takes the advantage of firm religious beliefs of Islam, and the positioning of such a sinless Imam at the top of this system, indicates that the taken strategies in this field are of unique nature. In some cases, His Excellency has warned, advised, and acted upon, and in other circumstances, he has reprimanded and decisively punished such criminals. In this research, the attempt has been made by using the method of content analysis to analyze the full text of Nahj al-Balagha in order to extract the cultural, political, and economic statements of Imam Ali's (AS) thoughts regarding crime prevention. Afterwards, by attaining these from the perspective of Nahj al-Balagha, the non-penal preventive strategies such as social and situational preventions along with penal prevention strategies including severity, certainty, speed and method of punishment in the field of criminal policy has been investigated.

Extracting patterns and models of management is a concern over the recent years and has led many researchers toward comparative historical studies. Although this is feasible and efficient, selection of models and methods to access this area of study is also noteworthy. Using appropriate research methods in the field of humanities, especially historical and religious studies help the researcher to have better understanding of how historical events and issues shaping the religious texts in that conditions and the dominated discourse in that era and eventually find its management patterns. Battles of Jamal, Siffin and Nehru in the reign of Imam Ali (AS) were the social and political crises which cause divisions in the Muslim community, undermining public acceptance of authority and leadership and loss of Muslim community public acceptance. These wars took place at the instigation of those who deny the truth of hypocrisy for the Muslim community; hence, studying the behavior of Imam Ali (AS) in crisis management can help to do the same today. Extracting Patterns to manage these crises through studying Imam Ali (AS)’s letters using quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods are the goal pursued in this paper.
