The struggle against social corruption and reforming various fields of social life has a special place in the Imams’ guiding conduct. Their entering to social rectification and in other words, their duty to rectify the society in various aspects of social to strengthen human perfection is based on foundations of revealed knowledge. These foundations are the base of using Imams’ rectification strategies in various fields of social life. A series of the foundations have theological aspects which this research analyses them. The theological foundations of social rectification consists of: monotheism, believing on hereafter, the spirits originality and improvement, essential goodness and evilness of actions, integrity and immortality of religion, the principle of prophethood and imamate. Shia’s Imamate doctrine that is based upon divine revelation, introduces the Infallible Imams as the scientific, moral and political authority of the human society and thereby makes them responsible to rectify various fields of the society.
