Principle 63 — Gentle Demeanor

The Prophet of Islam sent his companions on an expedition and advised them to be gentle with people, the reason being they were sent as facilitators, not as troublemakers. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 3038) This hadith is related to all those who work in different fields. An officer must work with his subordinates on the same principle. A teacher has to follow this same principle dealing with his students. A manager has to deal with his company along the same lines, and so on.
