In accordance with their mission, all the prophets advantaged from Warnings and Awardings to encourage people in practicing the good deeds and avoiding the bad ones. If the Prophets had not employed a motivational system in place, all their teachings might have become void. Ali (a.s.) had also exploited such a mechanism in his lectures and sermons to guide people on their journey to reach Salvation. The main purpose of the present research is a thorough investigation of the Gharra sermon as a doctrine, discovering the means of Warnings and Awardings in the lecture of Amir Al-Mo'menin (a.s.). By a survey into the principles, a model can be related and released via Descriptive analytical method on the Warnings and Awardings in the words of Imam Ali (a.s.), helping us to acquire a better understanding of what Imam (a.s.) meant in his wisdom. Five principles have been attained as the main Warnings and Awardings principles in the lectures of Imam Ali (a.s.), focusing on the Gharra Sermon: 1) Ultimatums, 2) Guidance, 3) Practice of Piety, 4) Reminder, 5) Delivering a lesson or advice.
