Nahj al-Balāghah stands as one of the most celebrated and enduring works in the Arabic-Islamic intellectual tradition. Al-Sharīf al-Raḍī’s compilation of the sermons, letters, and sayings of ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib has inspired profound theological, ethical, literary, and political reflection across centuries.

This edited volume seeks to explore Nahj al-Balāghah through the interconnected lenses of text, thought, and tradition. We invite original, unpublished contributions that offer close readings, critical engagements, and interdisciplinary or comparative approaches to the Nahj as a literary text, a vehicle of doctrinal and philosophical reflection, and a living tradition transmitted, interpreted, and rearticulated across diverse contexts.
