I have advised my father many times not to abandon the prayer. Am I responsible after this? Also, should I repeat the advice to my friends despite the hardship?

Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. I have advised my father many times regarding not abandoning the prayer, and I have presented to him the evidence and hadiths that clarify the extent of the punishment that befalls the one who abandons the prayer. However, he remains in his misguidance. Am I responsible before Allah for his guidance after all this? And should I repeat the advice to him, my friends, and my community regarding matters of religion they are ignorant of? Knowing that this causes me hardship and embarrassment? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
It is obligatory for you to offer advice to your father and to others who are lazy about the prayer, and not to become certain of despair or boredom. Rather, you must be patient and seek reward. You will be rewarded, if Allah wills, for your forbidding of them from evil and your advice to them. So you must continue in that, and be patient with it. You will have a great reward from Allah if your intention is sincere. As for guidance, it is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), . But we are commanded to enjoin good and forbid evil, to teach the ignorant, to admonish, and to call people to good. This is the guidance of explanation and indication. As for the guidance of success, that is in the hand of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
