Abstract

The turning point of the rule of Imam Ali (as) is the effort to implement and institutionalize the Prophetic tradition. The applications of the Prophetic tradition in the governance of Imam Ali (AS) is an issue that has been less addressed. In the present study, in order to remove the ambiguity of this issue and identify the method of Alawite rule, in a historical way and using sociological terms and concepts, the question has been answered: Has it been institutionalized in the rule of Imam Ali (AS) and has made his rule certain?” In response to the above question, it was hypothesized that the prophetic tradition through positive reassurance to society and in various areas such as moral education of society, regulation of political-economic affairs, creating convergence, etc. has had a positive effect on Alawite rule. In proving the hypothesis, Nahj al-Balagha, historical texts and quoting the statements of Imam Ali (AS) have been used.
