<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) Calling for guidance or misguidance may be done by words or actions.<br>
2) Causing something to be done is the same as doing it. Therefore, whoever calls to good or evil gets the like of the reward or the burden of whoever else does it.<br>
3) Giving great attention to calling to goodness and righteousness and preventing evil and corruption.
