Status of enjoining good and forbidding evil in the strategy of maintaining the social order; social rereading of the Qur’anic verses and the traditions of the Ahl al-Bayt (‘a.s.)

The status of the Islamic teachings in the monitoring system of the country gives priority to the introduction of their capacities in the studies of social damages and makes it necessary to investigate the Qur’an and hadith as the sources of this study. The capacities of enjoining good and forbidding evil (al-amr bi ’l-ma‘rūf wa al-nahy ‘an al-munkar) is an example. It is despite the fact that the implementation of the strategy of social-oriented police indicates the inclination of the nation to the idea of maintaining the social order and that the fundamental motives of this idea and that obligation are highly compatible. The three categories of “informal control”, “society-orientedness” and “social responsibility” - which indicate the status of the informal control in the ideal of miniating the social order – have been selected and that the Qur’an and hadith have been analyzed from the aspect of qualitative (compound) content. The findings made it manifest that the statements related to the categories in the Islamic and social sciences are compatible. As a result, they indicate the capacity of the function of this obligation as the Islamic and native strategy of “maintaining the social order”. The method of research has regarded the criteria of text interpretation in these branches of knowledge and has reached an understanding that is admissible in both of them.
