This practical research, conducted through a library method, has modeled the challenges between the two armies of Imam ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (AS) and a group called the Māriqīn or Khawārij in the battle of Nahrawān using Game Theory and analyzed each army’s strategies against each other, and finally explore the war utility to find the strategic equilibrium point between them. Therefore, we calculate the utility function for the set of strategies of each of the two armies including the army of Amir al-Mu’minin, ʿAlī ibn Abī Ṭālib (AS) and the Khawārij of Nahrawān and analyze it.
