Advice to the father and brothers who abandon prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: My father does not pray, and my brothers do not either. What should I do with them? What should I say to them? And how should I advise them?
Answer:
You should advise them and make du'a for them through your prostration and your prayer, for Allah will guide them if He wills. You should advise them, and you should ask your good neighbors to go to them and advise them, and your good relatives to assist you. This is because, if you are alone, they may not obey you; they may look down on you and not listen to you. However, seek out your good neighbors and your good, elderly relatives who will go to them and advise them, so that they cooperate with you in this. Perhaps Allah will guide them through their efforts. Do not mention [this] from you, your neighbors, your good brothers, and your good relatives, so that they may help you in calling them to Allah and advising them?
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
