Abstract
Society needs a leader.Of course, people do not accept the decisions and ideas of leaders and protest. Now the question is, are there limits for people's protests that they should not go beyond or not? Do people have the right to protest against all people and everything in all times and places?!or are there rules and standards that they should not pass over?!
The purpose of writing this article is to "state the criteria for distinguishing between protest and disturbance in the Islamic government from the perspective of the Qur'an and hadiths".We have come to the conclusion that from the point of view of Quran and Hadith, the criteria for distinguishing between protest and disturbance is to pay attention to four criteria.
1- The protest should be done with the aim of reform and the result should not be the weakening of Islam and the Islamic government.
2- In terms of form and expression of protests, it should be peaceful and without weapons
3- In terms of the words that are said or written, protests should be done with respect for religion, individuals and society.
4- In terms of the protestors and the people present in the demonstration, they cannot be followed until they have not taken any practical action.
Also, there is no difference between religion, Muslim and non-believers of Iranian citizens in this regard.
