Inviting family to the path of God requires being a role model, showing love, and praying.
Inviting one's family to the path of God is a significant responsibility emphasized upon every Muslim. In the Holy Quran, Allah teaches us to approach the call to righteousness with wisdom and goodness. Surah An-Nahl, verse 125 states 'Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction.' To invite your family, you should first exemplify positive behavior as a reflection of your faith. The Quran urges us to engage with kindness and use sweet and loving language in our discussions. It’s important to attract your family’s attention by creating a calm and loving atmosphere where you can talk about religion, Quranic verses, and the stories of the Prophets. Surah Al-Furqan, verse 74, instructs us to pray, 'My Lord, grant me the ability to be pleased with my wife and offspring.' This verse indicates the importance of praying for our families and striving for their guidance. Ultimately, you should turn to Allah in prayer for their guidance. Your genuine intention and love for them can be the greatest motivating force. In Islam, family is among the most vital aspects of life, and working towards guiding them towards the right path is one of the finest deeds in the sight of Allah.
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good instruction.
My Lord, grant me the ability to be pleased with my wife and offspring.
Once upon a time, there was a man named Hasan who guided himself on the path of God. He always spoke of Quranic verses and made efforts to invite his family to the same path. One day, while sitting at home, he remembered a verse from the Quran and decided to use it for a conversation with his children. With love and warmth, he asked, 'How can we get closer to God?' This led to sweet family discussions that transformed their lives.
