The theory of critical discourse analysis is a new qualitative method of considering texts, which is concerned with how and why discourse is produced, instead of what it is. According to this theory, there is an interactive relationship between a text and its context. In this research, we draw upon a descriptive-analytic method based on Fairclough’s theory to consider how ‘Alī’s discourse interacted with Khawārij’s on three levels: description, interpretation, and explanation. In order to convince his audience, Imām ‘Alī delineates bitter consequences of rioting against the power of the ruler so as to prevent his companions from changing their ideology, and in the next step, he unearths the falsity of Khawārij’s worldview and tries to dissuade them from opposing the predominant ideology. This paper explains the contrast between the Imam’s ideology and Khawarij’s in his sermons, the Imam’s discourse being affected by political and social events, and the impact of his discourse on that of Khawārij.
