A doctoral dissertation at the College of Education for Humanities, University of Basra, examined "Manifestations of the Principles of Nahj al-Balagha in the Humanitarian Methodology of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them)." The dissertation, presented by student Alia Bassem Abdul Fadhel, aims to demonstrate the aims and impact of Islamic thought and the thought of the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in building human societies based on dignity, justice, and mercy. It also aims to uncover the cultural and educational objectives of the thought of Imam Ali and the Imams of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) in building individuals who embrace ethical and moral principles that help them interact with their surroundings and formulate a model for the integrated human being. It also aims to increase awareness of the concept of the humanistic methodology and the principles and values it contains, the intellectual foundations upon which it is built, and the methodology's role in regulating individual and social behavior. The thesis concluded that the humanitarian methodology of the Imams of the Household of the Prophet (peace be upon them), which was manifested in the principles of Nahj al-Balagha, is a comprehensive vision rooted in Islamic thought, and not an emergency or temporary methodology that combines moral and social values. Likewise, the humanitarian methodology in the thought of the Imams of the Household of the Prophet (peace be upon them) is distinguished by its practical nature, as it links principles and values on the one hand with social, political and economic reality on the other hand, as it is not established by abstract discourse, but rather by just action that balances between man and his society. This humanitarian methodology stems from a comprehensive faith-based and humanitarian vision that makes man, through its goals and moral and value-based foundations, the focus of change and reform
