In Every Society, There Are Some Just People:
Allah Almighty has excluded from those disobedient people, whose characteristics have been described above, those who adhere to the religion with honesty and are steadfast in prayer. This shows that no matter how much corruption spreads in a society, there are always some people who fear Allah and take care of their religion. Allah will surely reward such people for their good deeds, because this is what His justice demands.
