This article,which is developed using a descriptive-analytical method with the aim of analyzing the role of the social obligation of “enjoining good and forbidding evil” in promoting good governance and its impact on transparency accountability, public oversight,and the development of public participation in the Islamic Republic of Iran,seeks to answer the question of how Article 8 of the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Iran can contribute to strengthening good governance and enabling active public supervision of the government’s performance.In this study,the concepts related to Article 8 of the Constitution and the obligation of enjoining good and forbidding evil are first reviewed.Legal and jurisprudential evidence,as well as data collected from various library sources,are analyzed to identify the challenges and opportunities of this principle in the context of good governance.The findings indicate that this constitutional principle,emphasizing people’s participation in overseeing government performance,can serve as a tool for achieving good governance.The principle of “enjoining good and forbidding evil,” by reinforcing public oversight and promoting responsibility at the societal level,contributes to,on the one hand, increasing government transparency and,on the other hand,building public trust. However,challenges such as subjective and selective interpretations of this principle may complicate its effective implementation,highlighting the need for legal and jurisprudential reforms to clarify related processes.Therefore,the effective implementation of Article 8 can lead to improved governance quality, social and economic development,and enhanced relationships between the people and the government,ultimately strengthening the legitimacy of the political system and providing the necessary foundations for sustainable development in the country.
