Advice on Encouraging Family Members to Practice Islam

When dealing with family members who are not practicing Islam and engaging in negative behaviors, it is essential not to impose change upon them forcefully. Instead of solely focusing on religious practices, it is crucial to first address potential underlying issues that may be leading them astray. Understanding their struggles and providing support in processing difficulties can humanize the situation and pave the way for meaningful conversations about faith, without coming across as preachy or judgmental.
