God's Prophet (a.s) said: “What would you do if all your women were corrupt and your youth were deviated, and no one enjoined the right and forbade the wrong?” He was asked: “O' Prophet of God! Will this happen?” He replied: “Yes. It will get even worse. What will you do when the people enjoin the wrong and forbid the right?” He was asked: “O' Prophet of God! Will things ever get this way?” He replied: “Yes, it will get even worse than this. What will you do when the people consider the right as the wrong and the wrong as the right?”
وقال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) كيف بكم إذا فسدت نساؤكم وفسق شبابكم، ولم تأمروا بمعروف ولم تنهوا عن منكر؟! فقيل له: ويكون ذلك يا رسول الله؟ قال: نعم، وشر من ذلك، فكيف بكم إذا أمرتم بالمنكر ونهيتم عن المعروف؟ فقيل له: يا رسول الله، ويكون ذلك؟ قال: نعم، وشر من ذلك، كيف بكم إذا رأيتم المعروف منكرا والمنكر معروفا؟!.
