Abstract
Resilience entails achieving balance from the lowest to the highest levels of life in threatening situations and getting desirable outcomes in life. Resilience can be considered a defense mechanism that enables people to persevere in the face of difficulties and improve mental health. Also, while considering resilience, the existential spirituality of individuals is also one of the important indicators of resilience. Also, having high spirituality is the best supporter of endurance and can make a person victorious against the issues and problems ahead. The purpose of this research is to analyze the spirituality of resilience based on the teachings of Imam Ali (AS) to provide educational requirements in the instructional system. In the current research, Nahj al-Balaghah is studied and analyzed as one of the most important spiritual sources in the Islamic world. This qualitative research was conducted through content analysis based on the standard categorization system. The research findings were encoded in three steps, and each spirituality step was divided into four main components (connection with God, connection with oneself, connection with creation, and connection with creatures) and sub-components according to Nahj al-Balaghah and the teachings of Imam Ali (AS). This research seeks to develop and expand resilience based on the teachings of Nahj al-Balaghah in the instructional system by observing educational requirements.
