Our role toward relatives who neglect prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner, Al-‘Utaibi from al-Dawadimi, says: O Shaykh! If my father and my brother are neglecting their prayers, please guide us to the best way to advise them and direct them. What should I do toward them?
Answer:
You must offer continuous advice and warn them of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He), so that perhaps Allah may benefit through you. Also, seek the help of the good among your relatives and neighbors to advise them. Allah says: [Al-Ma'idah: 2]. Do not grow weary, and do not despair. Advise them, direct them to good, and warn them of Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). And be glad of great good.
Likewise, any of your brothers, neighbors, or relatives who help you with this good, you are doing a great deal of good. This falls under the category of cooperating in righteousness and piety, enjoining good and forbidding evil, and advising one another to truth. And Allah does not waste the deed of any worker Yes.
