Abstract

Islam is a comprehensive religion that considers all the individual and social aspects of human life. The realm of Islamic rules and teachings is not just related to individual affairs. Paying attention to social dignity is one of the most important issues of concern for Islam, and in addition, social control theories hold that all people have the potential to evade the law, and modern society has provided many opportunities for illegal activities. This study with a descriptive method and an analytical-critical approach seeks to answer the question “what are critiques on Hirsch's social theory from the viewpoint of hadiths?” The results show that Islam has teachings that will lead to human perfection and the consolidation of human society and in the light of divine laws, the growth, and solidity of society can be brought about. However, Hirsch's theory is a complete American thought along with criticism. The studies that have been conducted on social control have not been examined based on Hirsch's theory and considering the religious teachings and extracting appropriate solutions for social control are some of the new findings of the current study
