Abstract

Man, through his self-knowledge, contemplates his existential nature in the world, and these musts and mustn'ts prevent man from being obscene and impersonal. Nahjul-Balagha, as a valid work in Islam, is also known as an anthropological work, considering the anthropological approach used in it. The present study is descriptive in design with an applied purpose and was conducted using the library document information method, with the aim of examining the strategies for human existential capacity based on Nahjul-Balagha, the main topics of which were extracted from Nahjul-Balagha. The results showed that knowing God, paying attention to the mutual relationship between science and reason, awakening from negligence, the path of knowledge and self-knowledge, and acting on the commands of religion are strategies for increasing the level of human existential capacity. Therefore, these strategies bring man closer from a state of negligence and limitation to a state of awareness and full potential. This new situation initially guarantees the happiness of the individual and, in a higher horizon, the happiness of society and humanity.
