To Become the Leaders of Guidance

In order for us (parents, teachers, etc.) to become the leaders of guidance we have to first strengthen ours Nafs (souls) by learning the etiquettes of speech, actions, guiding and inviting from the Quran and the Sunnah. Then, we have to put these etiquettes into practice based on Eeman (faith) Yaqeen (certainity) and Ikhlas (sincerity). Also. Our affairs should not be limited unto speech alone for, if the speech is not backed up with actions, its effect will not extend beyond the speaker and will yield a converse effect, “O you who believe! Why do you say that you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say which you do not do.” [61:2-3]
