Q: Why some people don't do lot of zikr of kalima?

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.

Q: If elder sisters tell her brothers to offer prayers. Sometimes they offer and sometimes do not offer prayers on her advice. Her mother said that you make us (parents) sinners because we do not tell our sons to offer prayers in a right way and you tell them. Mother said that it is our duty to tell sons to offer prayers not yours (daughter). Mother said that I stop you to tell them to offer prayer. Now what should the daughter do? Can she tell them to offer prayer or obey her mother in this matter? She thinks that as she is elder from brothers she must ask them to offer prayer. Is her thinking right or not?
