Abstract

Nahjulbalaga, same as Qur'an, is a vast ocean from which everyone can
benefit according to his / her talent.
Grammatical, rhetorical, linguistic, the same as dogmatic issues like
theology, philosophy and mystics are abundant in this unique human book.
Among all the knowledge, linguistics is one by which we can calch pearls of
meaning which display the amazing aspects of sense in Imam Ali's words. One
of the linguistic issues in this book is the study of ethical and dogmatic
expressions based on their synonyms, antonyms, homonyms and polysemy’s,
on which we have concentrated in our study in order to gain a better
understanding of the semantic system of the words. In this article, we have
tried to study these different stages of meaning and show that each ethical and
dogmatic expression has a special meaning according to its context, which
differ from its same usage in other contexts.
