Abstract :

At the beginning of the call of the prophets, religious teachingswere communicated differently and proportionally. However, afterthe institutionalization of any religion, religious scholards used toclassify the teachings establishing new disciplines with giving aspecil title to each of the classes. Two disciplines gasined muchimportance in the teachings of the religion of Islam.One is thetheology dealing with explanatiomn of Islamic doctrines, provingthe theories, and refuting spurious arguments. The other isjurisprudence dealing with the quality nof the behavior of thebelievers.The issues of these two disciplines have sometimes baesdon requirements mixed together and somre thological material haveincorporated jurisprudence. Enjoining the right and forbidding thewromng has a special position in this field. This is because it hasfoubnd a close relation with jurisprudence and little by littleconsidered as a jurisprudential issue.It has been discussed next toprayer and fasting whuich have mainly an individual aspect.However, this issue can be put into practice when the Imam of theMuslims assumes the reins. So it should be discussed consideringthis point.
