I can say more I just dont want to sound like dictating u what to say. Explain to him that each one of us according to a hadeeth saying what means, when he goes to sleep shaytan comes and ties three knots on the back of his neck telling him sleep heavily, when one wakes up and remembers Allah one knot is untied, makes wodu, the second is untied, prays the third is untied. In case one does not do all of this, the knots of shaytan remain causing him many unwanted symptoms, such as heavy chest, feeling down and lazy, no inner satisfaction no matter what u do, u may find entertainment but temporary. (sorry the post is getting long)
6. Explain how the water of wodu takes off sins from each limb.
7. Read ayaht ul korsi a lot with the intention of protecting him from shaytan. It is just simple that shaytan never leaves the son of Adam alone.
8. Dont redicule him, when he comes up with funny comments just stop the discussion as jennifer said.
May Allah reward u much for this, remember none of the Messengers and prophets had it easy, none, they heard a lot, a lot, dont give up, u dont want to end up in a whale's tummy like Yunus:)
