Abstract
Music forms an important part of influence on the audience and plays an important role in attracting intellects and minds. Rhetoric is one of the texts most in need of applying the potential of expression in order to influence the audience, because the artistic sermon (rhetoric) relies on absorption and persuasion; among them, political sermons are most in need of using emotional stimuli, so that the category of influence and persuasion can be realized and the audience acknowledges and believes in the thought that theorator (author) claim. Accordingly, the current research studies the quantity and quality of the use of music in the political sermons of Nahj al-Balagha, focusing on technical images based on descriptive-analytic method. The most important result of this study is that Imam Ali (as) has used visual images with the potential of music and uses two types of verbal and spiritual music, thus has realized making the peak of beauty, pictorial, and influential. The fact that verbal music is diverse in Nahj al-Balagha's political sermons and involves a variety of rhymes, pun and replication, but spiritual music is merely limited in implication and does not include confrontation and marriage.
Highlights
The human soul has a fond with the discipline and harmony of the phenomena, and it is elusive from the uncertainty and unpredictability of affairs
We find that among the different types of rhyme, the parallel rhyme has the most presence in the political sermon of Nahj al-Balagha, and Amir al-Mu'minin (PBUH) uses it consistently with the meaning of the aim
The final point is that according to the review carried out in this article, it has to be said that spiritual music in technical pictures of Nahj-al-Balagha's political lectures is only unique in terms of implication and does not include other features
Summary
The human soul has a fond with the discipline and harmony of the phenomena, and it is elusive from the uncertainty and unpredictability of affairs (things). The song of vocabulary (words) requires a kind of harmony and order, so that attractive music appeals to the audience, and the rhythm of the word is the element of creator of musical coherence (al-Shawi, 2007, 164).The rhythm emanates from the structure of words, and isn’t considered as a collection of repetitive voices, and to represent meaning in the direction of continuous communication between the speaker and the audience and the subject (Sultan, 1986, 23 & Alfaham, 2012, 212) Music has such an effective effect on poetry of prose text that it can be compared with the influence of other poetic elements. Balagh's rhetorical aspects, including its musical dimension, that is why this research focusing on the technical images of Nahj-al-Balagha's political lectures (sermons), has tried to clarify the extent of utilization of Imam Ali (Peace be upon you) from the verbal and spiritual musical capacities and the degree to which the expressive images intertwined with it in the Word of him (majesty)
