Abstract The Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice is one of the most important religious duties, indeed, the very foundation of their establishment, the continuous social reform, and the constant guardianship of society against various afflictions and threats. Today, this duty is at the center of social and domestic media attention. However, the numerous tensions and conflicts reported in domestic and foreign media regarding its implementation indicate that both society is not fully aware of the status and importance of this issue, and its executors need more study, deeper understanding, and serious training in terms of implementation methods and ethical requirements. One of the rich sources for understanding this issue is the scientific and practical conduct of Imam Reza (p.b.u.h). Having examined the narrations attributed to Imam Reza (p.b.u.h) and collected the relevant materials on the methods and ethical requirements of this duty, the author has endeavored to present a comprehensive research on the viewpoint of that esteemed Imam to the esteemed readers, through accurate categorization, fluent translation, and necessary explanations. According to the Razavi knowledge, the activism of one who enjoins good and forbids evil, utilizing various methods, is manifested in three stages: the heart, speech, and action, and is embodied in the belief of the enjoiner and the forbidder and the scientific and practical awareness of the addressee. Morality and wisdom are the foundation of this duty. And the necessity of wisdom is the presence of certain qualities in the soul of the Promotion and the Prevention, and a framework for their actions. And the more these factors are manifested, the more effective and lasting this duty will be.

Abstract O One of the applied branches of psychology is behavior therapy. In behavioral therapy, using experimental psychology, especially learning psychology, techniques and methods are extracted and used in order to change and often correct people’s behavior. The two schools of behaviorism, Pavlov and Skinner, together with the theory of social learning and the theory of cognitive reconstruction, have proposed the most important theories about behavior change. Using the data of these theories, this research tried to identify and present the application of behavior change methods in the life of Imam Riḍā (as) with a descriptive- analytical typology approach. The results indicate that in Razavi’s life, the methods of cognitive reconstruction and observational learning are in the position of creating desirable behavior and the methods of primary, social, exchange and feedback reinforcements are identified, also, the use of the principle of facilitation in the position of stabilizing and expanding desirable behavior and methods of inhibition, depriving positive reinforcement and compensating the position of reducing or eliminating undesirable behavior can be recognized.

Abstract History of every nation includes the lives of human beings and their relations, from artistic and religious to human ones. Iranian history includes two powerful dynasties of Timurid and Safavid which have left many trails in the biggest religious place in Iran, Imam Reza’s Holy Shrine. Porches made in Timurid and Safavid eras are among the most important architectural works in the country located in Imam Reza’s Shrine. They contain different artistic and religious inscriptions and this difference is a result of variety that existed in their separate eras. This paper seeks to review the differences and similarities of the porches made during Timurid and Safavid eras. The methodology is that the contents of Quranic inscriptions are analyzed while the benedictory ones as well as the Persian verses are compared in order to find an answer to the main question of the article. Results indicate that in Timurid era, more attention is paid to Quranic content while in Safavid, the focus is on artistic decorations.
