Great book

The Nahjul Balagha needs no introduction. Suffice it to say it is considered by many Muslims to be the most important book ever after the Holy Quran. This edition begins with several sections of commentary on various topics covered within the masterpiece. The actual book with sermons, letters, and quotations by Hadhrat Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (Peace Be Upon Him) begins on page 299 of this nearly 1000-page book! This means we get generous doses of commentary from an esteemed scholar on many significant topics and themes of the Nahjul Balagha, including on ethical teachings, the concept of zuhd (asceticism), the meaning of the life in this world, and the meaning of the contrast between life in this world and that in the Hereafter. The book is beautifully bound and even includes a bookmark. Some reviewers have noted editorial issues such as misspellings and while this (the Ninth Edition from 2019) could have been better edited, I did not think it was a big deal at all and it certainly did not take away at all from my appreciation of the content and reading experience. The privilege is mine in having obtained a copy of this masterpiece!

This is an excellent book, and one of the few translations available in English.. sure, the translation is obviously influenced by the translators English, this however does not detract from the Eloquence of the book itself.. some passages, words, or phrases, may require a re-read.. but it also allows us an opportunity to pause and reflect. The introduction offers a nice view in preparation, for a better understanding of the history and importance of the text itself.. it's great to have the opportunity to read this book.

With the words of this book eloquence cannot escape you. It's rich in history and all aspects to enhance anyone's life. You can find solutions to all problems that one may be challenged by. This book would open minds of Presidents, preachers, and all people who seek peace and reformation of all unjust creations. This book combines superior knowledge, elusive history, and the true meaning of Islam.

The book is well formatted, but the translation is lacking. It is a great book to use to understand the great personage that is known to the world as Ali ibn Abu Talib. In this volume, one will grow to understand the rise of the Umayyads, the caliphate of Ali, and the Sunni-Shia split. There is also much practical wisdom offered through the sermons and letters of Ali.
