Civilizations are dynamic, gradual, and law-based phenomena can be explained based on relatively stable rules in social life. In Islamic tradition, these rules are understood in the form of "divine traditions"; traditions that, without denying the role of human agency, guide the path of growth or decline of societies. The issue of this research is what components Nahj al-Balagha highlights to explain the birth, stability and how these components can be formulated into a coherent model. The aim of this article is to explain the civilizational geometry in Nahj al-Balagha based on divine traditions and reconstruct an analytical framework for understanding the life cycle of civilizations with an emphasis on the role of the agent. This research was conducted with a qualitative approach. The initial categories were defined based on the conceptual framework of "divine traditions, agents, and civilizational consequences," and then, through open coding and content analysis, subcategories were extracted from the text of Nahjul-Balagha, based on Sobhi Saleh's correction. The findings were organized in the form of an "Alawite civilizational tree" model. The results of the research show that Nahj al-Balagha considers the birth of civilization to be based on the revival of rationality, the composition of hearts and the covenant of justice, and its stability to be based on just governance, the priority of development over tribute, and the strengthening of social trust. In contrast, the inversion of standards, division, and institutional erosion activate the cycle of mortality; in the meantime, divine traditions are the bedrock of civilizational life and the changing agents mediate it.
