چکیده:
It is given that, in addition to consolidating monotheistic thought, directing people towards desirable moral qualities has always been their concern; such that in their belief, morality along with monotheistic belief is considered two major pillars of a faithful society. However, it seems that after them, the religious society became oblivious to the issue of morality. For this reason, some of those educated in Islamic civilization, being aware of this matter and mindful of the unpleasant consequences of neglecting moral values, addressed the explanation of factors affecting the growth of morality in their works, so that perhaps this neglected pillar of the faithful society might be revived once again. In this research, these influencing factors are examined by relying on the views and thoughts of Sheikh Muslih al-Din Saadi Shirazi. From his perspective, factors such as a maximalist attitude toward individual moralization, deepening the culture of 'oughts and ought-nots' regarding morality, expediency and opportunism, and immoral moralizers, are influential in the destruction of moral values.

Saadi is among the great figures who, in the second branch, wrote two valuable works, Golestan and Bustan, through which his pathological perspectives in various fields, including ethics and the factors causing immorality among different classes of society, can be understood.
Saadi takes this issue very seriously in the matter of moral education and believes that if these differences are not taken into account, the process of an individual's moralization will have no end: "A king gave a son to a man of letters and said: This is your child.
The following story well demonstrates the aspects of this matter: Being an artistic and wise youth Unknown and big-hearted and truth-worshipper Strong in eloquence and in grammar I spoke of a wise man to a wise man It arose from my passion, O rosy-cheeked one You saw in him the same flaw that exists That in preaching, he was agile and manly The line of his cheek is more beautiful than the line of his hand O you who did not speak the correct Abjad letter Since the front tooth does not have such-and-such Do not speak of this kind of nonsense so much So much that the eye of your intellect has closed (Saadi 1384a: 169) In other words, we have learned to consider someone moral if they possess dozens of moral virtues, and if an inconsistent act arises from this very moral person, his morality is also forfeited.
