This study is attempted to review the book “education in NahjulBalagha” by “AbdAlmajidZahadat”. The importance of this review is in its topic concerning education in NahjulBalagha. The significance of this review is also due to the point that this subject is the academic unit both in master’s and PhD programs in philosophy of Islamic education. The objective of this research review is to detect the strengths and weaknesses of the work as an academic textbook and to help it be corrected and completed so as to be used in education and research courses of higher education. The review method was citation analysis based on the review model proposed by Institute of Humanities and Cultural Studies, the council for investigation of humanities books and texts. In this model, a “general introduction”is provided and then “form analysis (advantages and shortcomings)” and “content analysis (advantages and shortcomings)” are carried out. The research results reveal that this book is approved concerning its topics and expressing and explaining the documentations. However, regarding content comprehensiveness and its compatibility with the curriculum presented by the ministry of science, research and technologyand thorough and deep consideration of the discussions relevant to Imam Ali’s educational viewpoint in NahjulBalagha requires fundamental revision. Moreover, the content of the book doesn’t cover all viewpoints of Imam Ali in various dimensions of education and training. Therefore, the title of this book is too general for its content.
