'Be the light that shines the path for others and yourself, but not the candle that burns itself out while illuminating the path for others.
Our Prophet Muhammad (salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said "The example of the one who teaches the people good things but forgets himself is that of a candle: it gives light to the people but burns itself out." ~ (at-Tabarani)
In your quest to advising good to others never forget your first and foremost priority is yourself and your families. We ask Allah to guide us and our loved ones, and guide others through us; and seek Allah's refuge from guiding others while neglecting ourselves and our families.'
