The Holy Quran is a book of guidance and a source of mercy and good news for Muslims. Throughout history, Quranic verses and themes have been an artistic tool and an inspiring source for poets and writers. Acquired according to the semantic system in which it is located. This article, which is of qualitative type and has been written with a descriptive-analytical method, has analyzed the semantics of the word and the concept of "commandment" in the two duties of the famous commandment and the prohibition of evil. Examining the views of jurists and research in jurisprudential texts, in this study it was concluded that commanding and forbidding in the two duties of commanding the good and forbidding the evil, does not necessarily have a single meaning in all of them, but for each level of meaning, the meaning of this The words should be considered in the appropriate order.

This article is about the "narrative arguments of the legitimacy of the command and prohibition of the people to the rulers". The commands and prohibitions of the rulers to the people become laws, and people's commands and prohibitions to the rulers often show themselves in the form of criticism and protest. The great influence of this command and prohibition in the society increases the necessity of a reasoned answer to the question of "the argument of the legitimacy of the command and prohibition of the people to the rulers". With an intra-religious view and descriptive-analytical method, at least by citing ten narrative reasons, it can be proved that the people have the right to command the rulers to do what is good and forbid what is bad; including: the necessity for the people not to be afraid of commanding and forbidding the rulers, condemning abandoning the prohibition of the rulers from oppressing, the necessity for the scholars to oppose the heresies of the rulers, encouraging the people to make demands from the rulers, the virtue of expressing truth and justice before the ruler, and the motive behind the movement of Imam Hussain (as) and the lives of the infallible Imams (as). There are conflicting arguments about this; but by examining them, we can come to the conclusion that: conflicting arguments can be combined, and if commands and prohibitions are given to the rulers on their own terms, it is legitimate and no one can take away this right from the people based on religious arguments.

A fundamental obligation of Islam is enjoining good and forbidding evil, and in Holy Qur'an and hadiths of Imams, special attention is paid to it. Since Imam Hussain’s goal of uprising was to enjoin good and forbid evil, the literature has mainly focused on his words within Ashura. Therefore, probing into methods of social education in Imam Hussain’s narrations regarding enjoining good and forbidding evil is significant. Moreover, since he was among descendants of Holy Prophet and his companions, conducting research on Imam Hussain’s hadiths highlights importance of his endeavors before Ashura. Therefore, the present study delves into methods of social education in Imam Hussain’s narrations in enjoining good and forbidding evil in Sunni sources. The findings revealed that Imam Hussain narrated a number of hadiths from himself and attempted to promote scientific and verbal conduct of Prophet and Imam Ali, to promote good and prevent evil in society. Imam Hussain took various approaches such as law-making, monitoring right implementation of law, proper ways of encouragement and persuasion, preaching and advising, appropriate means of proclaiming good news and bearing bad news, and different ways of provoking emotions and admonishing, to enjoin good and forbid evil in society.

"Mahdism" as an important doctrine and under the consensus of Islamic sects has various definitions and explanations. "Zaydiyya" as a sect with four Imams have made the realization of the "rule of justice and the denial of oppression" the axis and criterion of their other beliefs, and have stated that all matters revolve around this issue. Although in the analysis and speeches of the Zaydi leaders and thinkers, the Imamate, the divine text and designation have been mentioned, and they have benefited from the specific narrations related to Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his appearance) in a subordinate and following form, what is original is the denial of oppression and uprising to realize what a caliph from the Ahl al-Bayt (as) in general and not in a specific way make it be realized. This article examines the texts and speeches of "Zaydiyya" with a descriptive-analytical method and reviews how Zaydiyya uses the Mahdavi concepts, including the person of the Imam, caliphate, plans and signs of appearance in order to create a "society of justice". The important findings of this research are: the centrality of uprising and enjoining the good and forbidding the evil in the epistemological structure of the Zaydi Imamate and placing it as a criterion in recognizing the Imam.

One of the important topics regarding enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong is the  levels of enjoining and forbidding. Due to some ambiguities over the subject, this article has tried to take a step towards further clarifying its dimensions and angles with an Ijtihadi approach and analyzing the narrations about the issue throught a survey of the fatwas of the jurists. The results of the study show that the problem could be modified or presicely restated in six axes including: the threefold levels of the good and forbidding the wrong, the sufficiency of heartfelt denial in the obviation of the assignment, the reasons given for precedence of verbal command and prohibition to practical ones, the necessity of classification of methods of enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong, considering the avoidance of participation in sinful gatherings as one of the methods of enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong, considering practical enjoining the good and forbidding the wrong as a public duty, or perceiving it conditioned to the permission of the Infallible (P.B.U).

Purposes of Shari’ah as tools of inferring rulings that play supervisory role over texts pave the way for jurisprudent recognition together with expediency and at the same time, discipline. What is being attended in this article is an approach of purposes to ruling of “enjoining the good and forbidding the bad” as one of the issues of political jurisprudence. In this approach, jurisprudents have ruled the necessary observation of the mildest attitudes for materialization of the two hypotheses as well as sensitive stage of practical action by considering important purposes of Shari’ah like leniency and compromise, security and freedom of men. Besides, the contemporary jurisprudents by taking a more concise look have said it is necessary to separate and prioritize important and unimportant issues in relation to all kinds of enjoining the good and forbidding the bad. The results obtained from this approach in political jurisprudence are included in more concise consideration to good institutions as enforcers of enjoining the good and forbidding the bad which clarify state and popular institutions capacities for enforcing it through recognition and prioritization of all kinds of enjoined good and forbidden bad so that, while achieving its effects, damages resulting from contacts that sometimes violate important purposes of Shari’ah in line with this divine obligation might be avoided.
