Answer: Make regular attempts to create a Madanī environment in your house by giving a home-Dars using ‘Faizān-e-Sunnat’ or this book ‘Questions and Answers about Islamic Veil’; by playing recorded Sunnaĥ-inspiring speeches; and by making individual effort to convince the men of your family to travel in Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunnaĥ-inspiring Madanī Qāfilaĥs. Also do not forget to pray for them wholeheartedly. Always yearn for saving yourself and your family from all sins and make constant efforts for this as well. However, always use gentleness, gentleness and gentleness. Do not even think about being strict without a valid Islamic reason, because usually ‘gentleness’ achieves what ‘strictness’ cannot.
