Description

ABSTRACT 

This study investigates the manifestations of phonetic rhythm in Imam Ali’s wishful discourse within Nahj al-Balagha. Using a descriptive–analytical approach, it explores how rhythmic devices such as repetition, rhyme, parallelism, and modulation contribute to both aesthetic and semantic depth. Findings reveal that rhythm functions not only as a stylistic ornament but also as a semantic force that intensifies meaning and enhances psychological impact
