Nahj al-Balagha research is one of the important fields of hadith meaning research; Because Nahj al-Balagha has special literary, rhetorical, semantic, and epistemological characteristics, and considering its characteristics and its high status among the Islamic Ummah, a methodical look at Nahj al-Balagha is necessary. The following article tries to provide understanding and research in Nahj al-Balagha with a logical structure to those who are at the beginning of the research in Nahj al-Balagha. In the process of understanding and researching this book, attention has been paid to three major areas: "laying the foundation for benefiting from Nahj al-Balaghah", "the process of understanding the text of Nahjl-Balaghah and its semantic research" and "manuscript supply and its attribution to Nahjl-Balaghah" and each of them has several stages. They are categorized: the first field includes four stages from the validation and analysis of text issuance to the final text and the position of vocabulary - syntactic structure; The second field begins with the analysis of the semantic gem of the words and the understanding of the apparent meaning and continues until seeing the collection of words of the Amir al-Mu`minin (a) and even other infallibles (a) - which is interpreted as the "family of hadith" - and continues with expert findings on the topic under study. The third area is the presentation of research results and research materials, which itself requires macro rules.
