A holistic and systematic look is one of the latest developments in identifying and extracting the structures and discourses that govern texts. The extraction of gender-related structures and discourses in the Qur'an and Nahj al-Balaghah is based on this holistic and systematic view. Two basic discourses can be seen in this regard: the male discourse and the egalitarian-female discourse. Although masculine discourse and its forms can be widely observed in the Qur'an, there are also numerous issues related to egalitarian and feminine discourse. There are never any explicit views in the Holy Qur'an that attack the female sex with generalization. In Nahj al-Balaghah, we also see the emergence and widespread manifestation of the masculine approach, but in some cases, there are apparently attacks on women. For this reason, there is a clear distinction between the discourse of the Qur'an and Nahj al-Balaghah in adopting a masculine approach. However, the application of the egalitarian-feminist discourse in Nahj al-Balaghah is at its minimum. The style of the Quran in the combined use of discourses related to gender shows its leading style and can be used as a criterion for modifying the narrations that have taken an opposite approach and their textual critique.
