Abstract
One of the most important Islamic duties that has been strongly emphasized in narrated sources is the duty of "commanding the good and forbidding the evil." The eighth principle of the constitution has three levels for this social responsibility: commanding the good of the people by the people, commanding the good of the people by the government, and commanding the good of the government by the people. In jurisprudential texts, only the first level has been addressed and the importance of other levels and the quality of their implementation have been neglected. Since the third level of enjoining the good and forbidding evil is more important and is more sensitive than the other two levels and no research has been done on the quality of its implementation, this research was conducted to fill this scientific and research gap. In this research, with a descriptive-analytical method, we have reached the conclusion that in order to achieve the third level of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil, it is necessary to implement four steps. Those four steps are in order of priority: 1-   Advice and benevolence 2- Criticism and protest 3 - Reporting and disclosure 4 - Coercive action through legal channels and avoiding disturbing public order and security.
