Abstract
Political life and protraction have a particular relation to the actors of power and the fair functioning of the political system in social life. Any unequal domination and distribution of power in the political system can create the opportunity to slip into authoritarianism and political violence. Given this, the unilateral turn of power exacerbates the tendency for political corruption and unjust political power which can affect the decline and lack of fair political continuity. But on the other hand, if centralized political power is intelligently adjusted and restored based on the justice between the structure and the political network of society with such empowerment in the area of ​​power, both the efficiency of the political system and the health of the political life of society can be increased. Therefore, adjusting the power in the political cycle can be a way to reduce political violence and individual positions against the government and political actors in the field. This article, by studying the political discourse of Imam Ali (AS) in Nahj al-Balagha seeks to understand the triple relation of justice, power and political system concepts. This research attempts to examine the relevance of these three concepts to investigate the question of the continuity of the political system through regulating the relationship of justice and power. From the author's point of view, Imam Ali (AS) while explaining the relation of justice and power has also explained their impact on the continuity of the political system thereby has opened a way to avoid violence and political oppression and has created the possibility for fair political extension in his thought and manner.
