Q: My question is about my father. He is totally on a wrong path. I mean few years back he was a very nice man. He had a fear of Allah and Masha Allah he saw the prophet (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) two times in his dream (ziyarat). He always used to pray juma prayer, and tazbihaat, and Quran. But now since the last two years he doesn't even go for Eid prayer. All the time he is busy in watching television and his language has become extremely abusive. No roza, no namaaz, nothing. He knows everything but does not want to do anything. Now when my mom or me are praying in front of him, he doesn't even decrease the volume of the TV. He is totally lost and he doesn't love my mother at all. Please tell me some dua by which he can become a namazi and a loving and caring husband. Actually he had an affair with one of my aunts. A very close relative of mine, my Mumani that is my mothers real brothers wife and my mom came to know about the affair after 14 years. Then when she came to know about the affair, my father apologised to my mom and broke whatever relation he had with that woman. But now he has left that, but when he is at home he doesn't care about anyone. It looks as if he is always in tension. Lost in his own world watchng TV with very high volume, or using a laptop for long hours. He doesn't talk much to his children or wife. My parents are married for 30 years. Please give some solutions. Me and mother are extremely worried about him.

Q: This morning I was going to wake for fajar and heard the namaz and saw someone else in the bathroom so I closed my eyes and waited. I didn't realise that I fell asleep and when I got back up it was still dark so I rushed to the bathroom to make wudhu. I am a very doubtful person so making wudhu takes some time but I am trying to get better and did it as fast as I could. When I came back I looked outside and it was still a dark blue and there was little  yellow in the far back so I quickly started praying. I didn't think it was that late as fajar happens around 6. I thought it might be 6:30 at the latest but after I prayed 2 sunnats I checked my phone and it was almost 7. So I finished my namaaz. I know it is bad to delay prayer and I didn't mean to. I am so worried I might have prayed in the forbidden time but I remember reading that if you didn't mean to delay fajar prayer you can pray as soon as you remember or wake up so did I do the wrong thing? How do I fix this?
