Encouraging the husband to perform Salaah
Q: My question is about that my husband does not pray regularly even if he got time. He is lazy and he get depressed in life and he can't do a proper job. He gets angry with his wife, kids and family for little things. I want to ask you that as a Muslim how many times I have to tell him to perform Salaah and practise Deen? What shall I pray or do to better my circumstance because I really want my husband and kids to be good Muslims and good Da'ees in Islam?
A: One time is sufficient.
Start off the following program at home:
1. Recite some portion of the Qur'aan.
2. Conduct ta`leem of Fazaa'il-e-Sadaqaat, Fazaa'il-e-A'maal and Bahishti Zewar for approximately 15 minutes in the mornings and evenings.
3. Do zikr of the kalimah, Durood Shareef and istighfaar.
4. Make du`aa at the end of each session, begging Allah Ta`ala for His special help, mercy and forgiveness for oneself and the rest of the ummah.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
