Abstract Since early centuries Muslim scholars have studied about different aspects of miracle of the holy Quran and have expressed variant ideas based upon Quran examples. Some have emphasized on its eloquence and others have selected its spiritual and cognitive usages. To gain deeper and more accurate remarks on the Quran miraculous character it is better to study through point of views of those who lived at the age of Revelation, or at least nearby. Among them, one of the best examples was Imam Ali (PBUH), the witness of descending the Revelation who was grown under the Quran's teachings, whose words lead us to realize the miraculous aspects of the holy Quran. The Quran's face have been illustrated inside the bright and clear mirror of Imam Ali's (PBUH) speeches as well as interesting and considerable descriptions. Such descriptions obviously declare majesty and multisided of Revelation and clarify many aspects of the miracle of Quran. It seems that all descriptions accompanied specially with the guidance aspect of Quran referring to the miraculous leadership and guidance of addressees for the future.

Abstract One of the important issues in the human life and relationships is how to regulate behaviors in the area of political power and the principles and standards governing these relations especially in the area of command. Islam as the last divine religion and the holy prophet Mohammad (S) as the seal of prophets consider a lofty position for ethics and Amīr al-Mu'minīn (A.S) also mixing   two important subjects in the area of social life; that is ethics and politics, has given a clear image of the necessity of using ethics- based methods in the area of command in the political power. In fact the personality of Imam Ali (A.S) shaped by Islam and the prophet Mohammad (S) was an entirely ethical one who thought about nothing except reality. On the other hand, Amīr al-Mu'minīn (A.S) had completely noble beliefs about political ethics and for this reason we do not need any old or new political thinking on this issue.
The present research tries to examine briefly the most important components and criteria of this attitude from the viewpoint of Amir al-Mu'minīn (A.S).
