Bismillah
naseeha, this type of person is exactly the one who need a reminder.
No one is above reminders, we all need it. Sometimes, I even discuss a certain matter with someone as if I m talking to myself in a loud voice. This person needs what Allah Say:
"And remind (by preaching the Qur'an, O Muhammad) for verily, the reminding profits the believers."
Just take the approach mentionen in the pervious post, start kindly, remind the person with the merit of being tested not in a direct way, as if u r talking about someone else. like for instance if u r facing a difficulty in a given work task, just go ahead and start saying, how weak we are, when we compare ourselves with what the prophets and Messengers encountered in their lives. We will feel that we are living in a luxury. Then from there u may move to how to connect to Allah. Just put this in mind, no one is above reminding no matter how this person is knowledgable, or committed or devoted to Allah.
