The sermon of Jihad is one of the most prominent sermons of Nahj al-Balaghah, which shows the struggle and Jihad, its importance and effects and also the consequences of leaving jihad for the nations. The present article tries to study the high-frequency stylistic coordinates of the Jihad sermon in the phonetic, syntactic and rhetorical layers, by descriptive-analytical method and statistical analysis of the data (Method) relying on the knowledge of stylistics to recognize the lines and foundations of resistance literature in this enduring text.
