The answer

A father's good example is one of the most important factors for successful upbringing. A child imitates his parents in everything. If a father's actions contradict his words, the child will be corrupted and deviate. However, if the father is a good example, the educational process will succeed. Scholars have highlighted the importance of a person acting upon what he advises others for it to be accepted. Proper upbringing is not just about providing material needs; rather, the foundation is protecting oneself and one's family from the Hellfire by doing what Allah loves and avoiding what displeases Him, for everyone is responsible for those under their care.
