To motivate others, one should encourage goodness and enhance social relationships.
Motivating others is one of the important social skills that can have a positive impact on relationships and individual performance. In the Holy Quran, encouragement towards good deeds and adherence to faith is clearly emphasized. In Surah Al-Imran, verse 104, Allah states: "And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good and advising what is right and forbidding what is wrong." This verse highlights the role of a community that promotes virtues, which can provide greater motivation for individuals. Based on these verses, to motivate others, one can employ methods such as encouraging good actions, respecting others' opinions, and demonstrating love and companionship. For instance, one might highlight an individual's strengths in conversations and guide them towards achieving larger goals. Additionally, one should recognize that their behavior can serve as a model for others and inspire them. Therefore, by demonstrating commitment to our goals and values while encouraging the enhancement of life's quality, we can motivate others effectively.
And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good and advising what is right and forbidding what is wrong.
