<b>Guidance from the Hadith:</b><br>
1) Faith consists of branches, in which people are of varying degrees. The fortunate believer is the one who seeks to increase his faith.<br>
2) A person should be most kind and loving to his family and should be the best companion and educator for them. Indeed, a person’s family are the most entitled to his good manners than others. So, begin with the nearest then the second nearest.
