Nahj al-Balāghah is a premier Islamic literary and epistemological text rich in multi-layered vocabulary. This study investigates the semantic and conceptual dimensions of "iḥsās" (feeling/sensation) and derivatives of the root "ḥ-s-s" across twelve instances in the text. Using descriptive-analytical content analysis, it explores their diverse applications in monotheistic, cognitive, social, mystical, and rhetorical contexts, highlighting Imam Ali's (AS) profound use of language to convey divine and human ideas.
Findings show the root extends beyond lexical meanings (encompassing, sensory perception, penetration) to include divine omniscience (Sermon 91), negation of sensory perception of God (Sermons 182, 186), inner courage (Sermon 123), condemnation of worldly attachment (Letter 45), and eschatological security (Sermon 183). Multi-dimensional analyses underscore its role in emphasizing divine transcendence, human perceptual limits, and contemplation of cosmic/inner signs.
No comprehensive prior study exists; this research reveals unexplored teachings and stresses the value of word-centered analyses for deeper monotheistic understanding.
