He is a 31 year old man, who up until 3 months ago was a good practicing Muslim. I don't know what is wrong with him, and I have tried many things to help him. I thought InShaAllah that my example would be enough for him to see and follow..but it is not. I even spoke to some of his friends and they talked to him, and still nothing. I can see his whole attitude and behavior changed. He says he has no time, or he is tired etc... Please advise me as to what to do. ANSWER: Perhaps a meeting with an Alim will be helpfull. There may be some other reasons, besides the ostensible ones, which bother him. An Alim will be able to deal with those doubts or reasons efficiently. Asgherali M M Jaffer
