To address the corruption of societies, one must denounce disobedience (to God), strengthen faith, reform hearts, enhance connection with God, and frequently remind people of the Hereafter and what it contains. Young people should be encouraged to fast and marry early, and they should be engaged in dialogue with wisdom and good admonition to convince them to abstain from indecencies.
