The biography of Imam Ali (AS), as the successor of the Prophet (S) and the Imam of the Islamic community, is the criterion and basis of Islam in preventing corruption and transgression. Accordingly, this article first examines the Imam's methods of preventing corruption such as giving insight and awareness, logical and reasoned explanation of religious teachings, drawing religious patterns, behavioral and practical promotion of religious values, explaining the factors of proper training, preaching, advising and monitoring. It then discusses the Imam's methods of combating corruption in both verbal and behavioral ways, such as warning, reprimanding, threatening, changing the geographical location of the mission, inflicting the divine punishments, and the like. Given that corruption and transgression cause injustice, looting of public funds and insecurity in society, it is very important to know the methods of Imam Ali (AS) for fighting against corruption and eradicating it as a dangerous phenomenon.
