Only a man with the following qualities should teach (the Deen) to others:
He reminds people of Allah’s bounties inducing gratitude (Shukr) in them.
He reminds them of their sins inducing repentance in them.
He reminds them that Shaitaan is their enemy so that they stay far from him.
If these ingredients are lacking, the talk is a calamity and the speaker simply seeks to project his image. His motive is Riya (show). Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said that every discussion devoid of Allah’s Thikr will be a calamity on the Day of Qiyaamah for the speaker.
(Hazrat Shaddaad bin Hakeem Rahmatullahi alaih)
