Advice for the teacher who has students he is teaching
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is your advice for someone who has young men on the verge of becoming committed? They are young men, and he is raising them and teaching them about the religion. What is your advice for him?
My advice to him: He should clarify the religion to them and encourage them in it, and treat them the way a doctor treats a patient until they are healed, by the permission of Allah. If a patient falls ill and has, for example, a wound that requires incision, and the doctor incises it violently, it only increases the harm. But if he incises it gently so that he can gain control over it, that is the correct approach. Then he should advise them to avoid the company of the lowly and to stay away from them, because sitting with and accompanying people has an effect. Many of the young are deceived by the whispers and arrogance of the older ones, so let him warn them against this.
