Lesson six :Causes for destruction of a society

أَرْبَعٌ لا يَدْخُلُ بَيْتا وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْها إلّا خَرِبَ وَ لَمْ يَعْمُرْ بِالْبَرَكَةِ: الخِيانَةُ و السَّرِقَهُ وَ شُرْبُ الخَمْرِ و الزّنا

Translation

There are four things that when one of them enters into a home, it will be ruined, and divine blessing does not reestablish it: treachery, larceny, drinking, adultery.

Brief description

Not only the homes, but also the societies are not excepted from this rule.

When treachery penetrates into a society, the spirit of confidence is disappeared thereof.

And when larceny, in its different forms, appears therein, peace will not be found anymore.

And when wine drinking becomes popular among people, they will have weak thoughts, disable children and useless youths.

And when they are stained with adultery, the foundation of families will be weakened and their next generation will be mischievous.
