The Nahj al-Balagha (Peak of Eloquence) is the most famous collection of letters, sermons, and sayings attributed to Imam Ali (AS). It was collected by Al-Sharif al-Radi, in the 10th century. Nahj means open way, road, course, method, or manner. Balaghah means eloquence, the art of good style and communication, rhetoric, etc. This book is a translation of the sermons, letters, and sayings of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib. It was originally compiled in Arabic by Sayyid Razi under the caption Nahjul Balagha.

These sermons and preaching of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS) were so highly valued and venerated in the Islamic world that within a century of his demise they were taught and read as the last word of philosophy and monotheism and as very effective sermons towards piety, a guiding beacon towards truth and justice, marvelous eulogies of the Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) and the Holy Qur'an, convincing discourses of the spiritual values of Islam, awe-inspiring discussions about the attributes of God, a masterpiece of literature and a model of the arts of rhetorics.
