Encouraging the husband to perform Salaah
Question
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?
Answer
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.
