Political teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah in Qutbuddin Nirizi's treatise on medicine

One of the most important political treatises in the late Safavid era is the treatise "Teb-al-Mamalek" written by "Sayyed Qutb al-din Mohammad Neyrizi Shirazi" on reforming the way of governance. A noteworthy part of this treatise contains the political teachings of Nahj-al Balaghah, from which Neyrizi has sought to correct the undesirable social and political conditions of his time. The present study seeks to evaluate the position of Nahj-al Balaghah’s position in solving social and political challenges in the said period through a descriptive-analytical method and a library-documentary approach.The findings show that Neyrizi is an integral part of Nahj-al Balaghah’s political thought, monarchy and political ethics. Quoting the political teachings of Nahj-al Balaghah, it has sought to respond to issues such as corruption and economic crisis, lack of regulatory body in power, disregard for the Qur'anic commands and the traditions of the infallibles.
