Training at Home
English book, p. 43
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
TRAINING AT HOME of his household, treating them oppressively, and not allowing them any freedom. He brought this temperament from his upbringing at home into the office. Unfortunately, his behaviour extended to his fellow officers, including a lady officer. Consciously or unconsciously, he maintained the same domineering attitude towards her as with the women in his home. Initially, the lady officer tolerated it. However, his excessive behaviour eventually affected her. She became irritated and intentionally sabotaged his record. Consequently, his promotion was revoked, and he became entangled in various office problems. The correct principle is one which is equally applicable, both within and outside the home. People should uphold their dignity within the home, respect their elders, and show kindness towards the younger ones. This principle is successful both within the house and in interactions in the outside world. Man needs to live with moderation both within and outside the home.
