It is advisable to maintain acts of worship and supererogatory prayers, and to supplicate for guidance for your family, because "for Allah to guide a single man through you is better for you than red camels." If you have advised them with wisdom and good counsel, then you have fulfilled your duty; for guidance is in the hand of Allah alone. Allah the Almighty says: "Indeed, you do not guide whom you like, but Allah guides whom He wills." It is also advisable to be gentle and not harsh in dealing with them.
