Abstract
Illustration is one of the most important methods of getting a subject matter tangibly and sensibly explained and depicted in the audience’s mind. Imam Ali (PBUH) in his Nahj al-Balagha has frequently employed the method in order to explain issues. One such issue a precise understanding of which has a significant impact on the destiny of individuals and society is that of knowing sedition and seditiousness. Utilizing precise metaphors, metonymies, similes, synecdoches, etc., Imam Ali (PBUH) has introduced seditionists, including stage-mangers of the Battle of Nahrawan and the Umayyads, and explained the stages of the formation, growth, and spread of sedition, and the way to face it. Thus, given the importance of the issue of sedition and impact of knowing it on one’s life, this study tries to explicate Imam Ali (PBHU)’s view on the issue with the narrative-descriptive method, and to show that, by using a variety of illustrations and literary creations, he has set the most beautiful example of introducing the face of sedition in different times.
