· With the intention of acting upon the Sunnaĥ I will talk with a smile. C Relevant to what is desired by the person I will try to encourage him to attend the Sunnaĥ-inspiring Ijtimā’ or travel in Madanī Qāfilaĥs, or practice the Madanī In’āmāt.[1]
· If a positive result is produced through individual efforts, I will regard it as a blessing of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and will express my deep gratitude to Him, and if something unpleasant happens, I will regard it as my lack of sincerity instead of considering the other person to be hard-hearted.

· I will forbid [others] from committing evil deeds in order to please Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and to gain reward in the Hereafter.
· I will try to make the people understand in a very polite manner, and as far as possible to do so, in private.
[1] Instead of encouraging a new Islamic brother to grow a beard and wear a blessed turban, the blessings of Ṣalāĥ, etc., should be mentioned. However, if the person you are talking to is ‘clean shaven’ and there is a strong possibility that if you ask him to repent of shaving his beard and grow it in the future and he will accept your advice, then it will become Wājib for you to forbid him from shaving his beard, but this ‘strong possibility’ is usually difficult regarding a new Islamic brother. These days people have very little passion to do good deeds. If you insist upon a new Islamic brother growing his beard, then he may get hesitant to even meet you again.
