Nahj Al Balagha Puns

Allah’u’abha

Is there any quote about Nahj Al-Balagha and Al-Sahifa Al-Sajjadiyya or even a study?

I made this Google Chrome extension that displays a random quote from Nahj al-Balagha when you open a new tab.

I'd love for you all to try it and share any feedback. If you can take a minute to review it on the Google Web Store, it would help make it easily available for other users as well.

Alsalam alaikum brothers, firstly sorry for the bad English. i recently decided to read nahj al-balagha, so i took sobhi al saleh copy and found in the foreword that he wrote (r.a) after the name of abu bakr, omar, othman. So i wonder if i'm reading the right copy or not.

Alhumdollilah. We managed to publish Dot 3, the third iteration of our Nahj al Balagha Quotes Chrome extension. 🥳

We listened to all the comments and feedback from last time and included the Google Search bar within the tab. So now with every new tab, you get a quote from Nahj al Balagha + a new background + the search bar. Thanks all for providing valuable feedback - we were able to make some of these enhancements.

The product is far from perfect. I'm also not super comfortable with CSS so it takes quite a bit of time to incorporate changes. I did get some help this time! After any code changes are submitted, Google takes a bit of time to publish as well. So any turn around time for changes is around 12-14 days. But we're committed to improving the experience for you.

If you haven't yet installed it, please do and we'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.

Salaam All, I am not Shia but I am drawn to learning about Imam Ali and would like to read Nahj al-Balagha in English. Could you all recommend a translation to me? BarakAllahu feekum.

I'd like to read the works of Imam Ali, I live in the Netherlands, I sadly can't find a copy of it online that isn't horrendously expensive. Can someone help me?

Assalam o Alaikum

I'm in search for an Android app for reading the Nahj al-Balagha, which also has the wills of Imam Ali A.S in it. For example, I'd like the app to have the final will he made before his martyrdom. Would anyone be kind enough to link me such an app?

JazakAllah

As the tittle asks.

Salam brother/sisters,

I wanted to ask you, does anyone have a link to a site where I can find Nahj Al Balagha in english?

It would be very appreciated.

Jazakullah Khayr,

Salam,

I was watching this guy on youtube 'Pakistan intellectuals society" and he was decoding quran and traditions of the prophet to connect some dots with science and it was quite intriguing (most of it was theoritical ) and none of his work had anything to do with nahjul balagha or our imams.
I then looked up on the internet and wasnt able to find any such thing, but i failed in finding it.
So someone would have definitely tried and found out/decoded something in our history.
if you guys know about this , please lemme know

Hi all,

Nahjul-Balagha: Path of Eloquence https://www.amazon.ca/dp/1481712632/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_HC652R04T2BKPF58HPXZ

Thanks

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (PBUH) said the following: Even if I strike the nose of a believer with this, my sword, so he may hate me, he will not hate me, and even if I pile all the wealth of the world before a hypocrite (Muslim) so he may love me, he will not love me. This is so because it is a verdict pronounced by the tongue of the revered Prophet who said the following: “O Ali! A believer will never hate you and a hypocrite (Muslim) will never love you.

Are all hadiths in Nahjul Balagha true ? There was a sermon in nahjul balagha in which Imam Ali (a.s.) said that woman are deficient in faith . Scholars like Amina Inloes and Sayed Hossein Al-Qazwini said that not every hadith or sermon in nahjul balagha true . Some also say that that was used for A'isha ?

My dad got mad at me for saying that not all hadiths and sermons are true in Nahjul Balagha.

Can you brothers and sisters clear my doubt ?

This is from Sermon 105:

> O creatures of Allah, do not rely on your ignorance, do not be obedient to your desires, because he who stays at this place is like one who stays on the brink of a bank undermined by water carrying ruin on his back from one portion to the other following his opinion which he changes (one after the other).

I don't particularly understand the allegory with staying at the brink of water. How does staying at the brink of water relate to desires and how does the water create ruin on his back? I just want to fully understand this so that I can comprehend what is being said here better.

الحکمة ۱ قال عليه السلام : كُنْ فِي الْفِتْنَةِ كَابْنِ اللَّبُونِ لاَ ظَهْرٌ فَيُرْكَبَ وَ لاَ ضَرْعٌ فَيُحْلَبَ. saying 1 Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (PBUH) said the following: During civil disturbance be like an adolescent camel who has neither a back strong enough for riding nor udders for milking.

saying 2

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (PBUH) said the following: Whoever adopts greed as a habit devalues himself whoever discloses his hardship agrees to be humiliated and whoever allows his tongue to overpower his soul debases the soul.

الحکمة ۴۴ قال عليه السلام : طُوبَى لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ الْمَعَادَ، وَعَمِلَ لِلْحِسَابِ، وَقَنِعَ بِالْكَفَافِ، وَرَضِيَ عَنِاللهِ. saying 44

Imam Ali ibn Abu Talib (PBUH) said the following: Blessed is the person who kept in mind the next life acted so as to be able to render his account, remained content with what sufficed him and remained pleased with Allah

My name is Julio-César Chávez and I am running for the NAHJ board as Vice President of Broadcast.

I need your help to make my campaign more widely known, since I'm running against one present and one former board members.

I want to win your vote. I want to make the NAHJ accessible to everyone, no matter where they live or if they can make it to the expensive annual convention, which I think the organization is way too focused on.

To me broadcast means representing anyone working in TV, radio, podcasts, or wanting to move into the field. But benefits for a national organization should not be focused on just TV reporters; every single member should be able to get something out of the group.

You can check out my entire platform in detail by clicking through here, but let me break down my top three goals for you:

• We need to help members help each other by setting up a digital interactive space where people will have open access to each other to ask for advice, and build a mentorship program to match everyone who needs it with a more experienced reporter and help guide them through their careers
• We will bolster freelancers and independent journalists by building a free to access platform showcasing every single one of our NAHJ independent journalists, making it easy for big agencies to find their work and hire them.
• Now more than ever we need Hostile Environment Training for everyone. More and more often newsrooms are sending reporters into dangerous situations without giving them the tools to stay safe. I saw this myself in Minneapolis. If newsrooms won't do it for their reporters then it's our job to make sure people can make it out of their assignments alive and well. I will work to make sure people have this training.

There’s more I would like to achieve, like a public pay study to give our members a leg up when negotiating salaries and making the board more accountable to members by holding all meetings through public Zoom conferences. These details are available on my campaign website.

If you’re interested in learning more please join the candidate forum Thursday. If you already like what I’m proposing I invite you to share my announcement tweet and tell people about my campaign.
