Abstract
One of the most important goals of the Islamic system is to provide the grounds for cultivating moral virtues and educating human beings and bringing them to ideal perfection. The police force is one of the most important pillars of the Islamic system and its function is to help the system to achieve that great goal. A jurisprudential analysis of the position of police force in the moral education of the society and its pedagogical role helps remove the ambiguities and doubts that arise for both the police forces and the people in terms of the limits and rights of each side. This research that has a jurisprudential and inferential approach and analyzes collected religious texts, seeks to provide evidence and extract the jurisprudential ruling and answer the question of whether law enforcement agencies have a religious duty to educate the Islamic community. If the answer is in the affirmative, what is the jurisprudential ruling of this duty?
The results drawn after collecting and analyzing textual data, prove the obligation of law enforcement agencies to morally educate the society through six specific reasons (verses of purification, the need for obedience, the need for preparation against enemies, the normative conduct of the infallibles, rational reason and the need to obey the leader in charge of the affairs). And there are seven common reasons as well. In general, some of the arguments indicate the necessity and some the desirability of the moral education of the society by the police. It can be said that based on the jurisprudential precepts, the police force has a duty to spread Islamic education and manners in society.
