Abstract
In the context of Nahj al-Balaghah, the ruler is the person who has the authority to manage the affairs of the society, and government orders are issued or implemented by him. This person is referred to by terms such as Amir, Imam, Waali, Wali, and today, in the political systems of the world, according to the constitutional laws of the countries, the ruler is the leader, the president, the head of the government, prime minister, king, etc. The present research hypothesizes that Nahj al-Balaghah introduced a standard personality model for the leader of the Islamic society and mentioned his unique characteristics. Corresponding to this hypothesis, the main research question is what is the model of personal competence of the Islamic ruler in Nahj al-Balaghah? Therefore, by studying Nahj al-Balaghah using a library method, the primary research information was collected, analyzed, and coded using the content analysis method. Then, the concepts are divided into nine components, including self-restraint, being people-oriented and hard-working, being honest with people, appreciating people, creating moral virtues, being respectful and friendly with people, creating vitality in society, observing religious duties and consulting with the wise, were organized and presented in the form of a model for the personal qualification of the ruler. These components were evaluated using the export scale, and the scale's result was calculated using the Friedman test. The test output showed that the component creating moral virtues has the highest frequency, with 6.03%, and self-restraint, with 4.13%, has the lowest frequency.
