The art of literary imagination in Imam Ali letters (Studying three letters from nahjolbalagh as a case staudy)

The art of imagination as a literary element, containing critical components such as image, emotion, language, reality and etc., is highly emphasized in studying and criticizing a literary script.Imam Ali has remarkably used this literary element to convey religious, ethical and social concepts.In this study, which was conducted according to a descriptive-analytical method, three letters from Nahjolbalaghe were studied and an attempt was made to show Imam Ali's purpose and style in using such a literary element by considering "context" and different types of that.One of the most important findings of this study was that Imam Ali has used this literary element mainly to convey the gist of his letters.
