Abstract
Purpose: In human societies, dos and don'ts are established in order 
to regulate and regularize relations between members of the society 
based on the prevailing and accepted norms of that society. 
Sometimes these dos and don'ts are so important that the society 
punishes the person who violates them. In line with this principle 
and self-evident concept in human relations, the religion of Islam 
and specifically the religion of Shiism; As a claimant and provider 
of a comprehensive and complete theory in the regulation of human 
relations from before birth to after death, he has a plan to draw the 
Islamic utopia and to achieve the perfection and excellence of each 
person. Therefore, the purpose of this study is the educational effects 
of religious punishments on the behavior of members of the society.
Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive-analytical study that 
was collected and analyzed using the sources of Shia jurisprudence.
Findings: The results showed that regardless of the topic of ethics, 
whose implementation is guaranteed in the afterlife, in Shia 
jurisprudence books, the four topics of worship, transactions, 
rhythms and rulings governing human relations are stated. The 
punishments prescribed by the Holy Law in the framework of hadd, 
ta'zir, diya and qisas play an important role in human education. 
Although Islamic punishments are explained in detail in 
jurisprudence books with a jurisprudential and ijtihad perspective, 
their educational goals have been neglected.
Conclusion: In general, it can be said that among the Shari'a orders 
and laws related to the proof of the crime and the characteristics of 
the criminal and the quality of their execution and punishment, there 
are instructive moral and educational points that can be a model for 
individuals and society, punishment should be Islamic studies 
should also be taken into consideration with this approach.
