The toughest thing for a teacher or ustadz is not in order for science to and understood by the disciples, but how to be a good role model so as to motivate and inspire in the spirit of charity, science, and ethics. Likewise, the parents at his children.

The Prophet sallallaahu ' alaihi wasallam became a good example even motivated friends who became his disciples directly.

Allaah says,

ﻟَّﻘَﺪْ ﻛَﺎﻥَ ﻟَﻜُﻢْ ﻓِﻲ ﺭَﺳُﻮﻝِ ﺍﻟﻠﻪِ ﺃُﺳْﻮَﺓٌ ﺣَﺴَﻨَﺔٌ ﻟِّﻤَﻦ ﻛَﺎﻥَ ﻳَﺮْﺟُﻮﺍ ﺍﻟﻠﻪَ ﻭَﺍﻟْﻴَﻮْﻡَ ﺍْﻷَﺧِﺮَ ﻭَﺫَﻛَﺮَ ﺍﻟﻠﻪَ ﻛَﺜِﻴﺮًﺍ

"Indeed there has been on Messenger (self) was a good example for you (IE) for people who expect (Grace) (arrival) of God and the day of judgment and he many call God (Dizkr)"  (QS. Al-Ahzab: 21).

The very first learned that their students not only take the science out of it but also follow the example of the application of the science they are hugging and good morals.

Consider the story of Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal who had many disciples, but the majority of his students did not record the science but would like to just meet and see Ahmad who was the source of their motivation in learned and charitable. This is because Imam Ahmad has provided a good example in the form of knowledge, charity, and morals.

Adz-Dzahabi rahimahullahu He said,

كان يجتمع في مجلس أحمد زهاء خمسة آلاف – أو يزيدون نحو خمس مائة – يكتبون، والباقون يتعلمون منه حسن الأدب والسمت

"Present at the Assembly of Imam Ahmad there is about 5000 people or more. Five hundred people write (lesson), while the rest just take the example of notability of adab and personality. " [1]

Likewise, the acts performed by the great scholar Ibn Al-Qayyim Al-Jauziyah rahimahullahu, he has a lot of science and recognized. He also viewed the exemplary science direct, charity, and noble character of a teacher he i.e. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah. When they feel cramped due to the test world, they immediately went to his teacher. Not they heard the discourse and the advice of his teacher, recently met with his teacher, they already feel the calmness and real sense of narrowness. This is because their teachers really give an example of a good example as well as patience.

Ibn Al-Qayyim said,

وكنا إذا اشتد بنا الخوف وساءت منا الظنون وضاقت بنا الأرض أتيناه، فما هو إلا أن نراه ونسمع كلامه فيذهب ذلك كله وينقلب انشراحاً وقوة ويقيناً وطمأنينة

"We (the disciples of Ibn Taymiyah) if overwritten feeling excessive fear, arose within our prejudices or bad (when we feel) the narrowness of life, then we came up to him, by just looking at him and listen Greeting him, missing all the nervousness we feel and airy feeling, tough, confident and calm. " [2]

So too are we as parents, if educating children at home should give examples advance unto our children:

-If you want our children Salih/shalihah, as parents must seek Salih and shalihah

-If you want to pray diligently, as the child's parents must be diligent to pray at home for exemplifying (father of mandatory prayer in the mosque and praying Sunnah at home)

-If you want to memorize the Quran, then we tried to memorize the Quran at home although a little, often reading the Quran at home

in particular the for their husbands and fathers, you become a role model for his wife and children. Note the words of scholars here

إن عصيت الله رأيت ذلك في خلق زوجتي و أهلي و دابتي

"Really, when disobeying to God, I know the impact of the bad there is in the behavior of my wife, my family, and my animal mounts."

The task of the father that is keeping his family from the fire of hell.

Allaah says,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَأَهْلِيكُمْ نَارًا وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَالْحِجَارَةُ عَلَيْهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ لَا يَعْصُونَ اللَّهَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ وَيَفْعَلُونَ مَا يُؤْمَرُونَ

"O faithful people, cultivate yourselves and your families from a fire whose fuel is men and of materials stone; Gru angels are rough, hard and not disobeyed God to what he commanded them and always work on what was ordered " (QS. At-Tahrim [66]: 6).
