as salam alykom
I share the same opinion with naseeha, naseeha brother post the hadeeth pls.
YouthofIslam. ok here is more, tell him that salah is a meeting with Allah the All MIghty, yes Allah fixed the times for it, yet if we r late, He is still there. Just give him an example, if he has a meeting with a manager, department head, professor or so, usually he is there 15 minutes ahead of time, in case he is 4 minute late, he might not be allowed in. In other cases, he may not even be allowed a meeting with the person he needs to see but rather with the assistant. Unlike our Merciful Allah, He is always there with all His Glory and Majesty, with all His Superiority, yet He is there Allah Himself not an assistant or secretary. Tell him, in salah we start the meeting by saying Allah u Akbar and we end it by saying as salam alykom. Allah never dismisses anyone from His presence. O ya Allah, teach him these concepts brother, Insha Allah bit by bit he will come back.
Insh a Allah I will come back when there is more.
