How should one encourage someone to perform salaah?
Q: My question is for my dear brother. I would really appreciate if you could help me in this. My brother does not like to offer prayers at all. He has missed lots of jummah salaahs as well. Most of the time intentionally and few times because of some work... He is married Alhamdulillah. I've tried and put much effort to drag his attention towards deen or to atleast pray the 5 times prayer. I am really concerned about him. We lost our father when we were toddlers, so there is no one to guide him properly nor is he willing to go to the masjid. He helps people who are in need but when it comes to namaz (prayer) he has got loads of excuses to escape... Please pour in some suggestions or duas that can help us in putting his mind into namaz and fear of Allah.
End of Zuhr time
Q: What time does Zohar Salaah become Qadha. Does Zohar end at the time Asr starts? I see that the Shafi time for Asr is 15:15 and for Hanafi it is 16:03. I do understand the the shadow of an object needs to be twice the original size plus the bit that was there at midday. I am asking in regards to the times for the Salaah. This is the time in Durban.
