For the young ones , when you pray , you can ask them along to pray together with you or go to the mosque to pray in congregation.

I thought of 3 ways to help you sort this problem out


1) You can warn your brother what happens if you miss prayers. This link will help you . http://www.turntoislam.com/forum/showpost.php?p=9516&postcount=1

2) If the above one does not work , you can ask you dad instead to pray together with your other siblings.

3) If both do not work, what you can do is this. Is there any other brothers who are close to your siblings. You can seek help from sisters who are related to this brothers by blood to encourage your siblings to pray.

Jaza kallahu khayran sister for your help and information may allah reward you for it and inshallah accept it Ameen my father died may allah have mercy on him but he used to always take them to the mosque from a young age now it seems like everyone in the house is feeling low in imaan and i just want to do something rather than nothing and be punished for it but thank you sister for all your help

Iman rises and falls. Insha Allah your siblings will be at an elevated stage soon. Insha Allah, Allah (SWT) will bring them more closer to Him. And if they have a caring, concerned sister like you, then dont worry. May Allah (SWT) make you successful in everything that you do Insha Allah. Aameen.

The least I can do for you is make dua. And I will.

Assalamualaikum

trust me i had that situation. what i did and sometimes still do is if he doesn't listen i write a letter and put it on his bed. he can't ignore it. he's gonna wanna know what it actually says. if he has an email send me him a very powerful video that talks about qiyama or hell or something that will knock him back to his senses? stop him and say to him " would you mind if i called you a kafir"? when he gets mad and asks why, tell him that he forgot to call allah and got disconnected, and that would make a person a kafir, so if he doesn't want to be called one he has to call allah. 24435, the five prayers, their ra'kas, that's allah's phone. salam.

Assalamu A'laikum All.

Reading this thread I can see only one thing, the only method is to frighten smbdy with Akhira and so on......

Bros and sis, come on, Islam is not like that...... show the beauty of it, would ya?
"There is no compulsion in Islam" said in Baqara sura.... You cant force someone to do smth if s/he doesn't want to do it. May be there are some other reasons...
Sis Muslim18, be patient.... Remember what happened when Prophet (S.A.W) was in grief when he called beduin people to accept Islam? People rejected him, and the Prophet (S.A.W) said that he couldn't make them muslims, and the immediate reply came from Allah (SWT), "It's not you who gives hidaya, It's Us who guide them, your duty is to just call for the way" (forgive my useless memory, can't remember which ayat).
So make dua sis, and ask Allah (SWT) to guide him, as well as others, and make it easy for him. Try to put him in company with friends who are more accurate in prayers... and so on.
Wassalamu a'laikum.
