Asalamo alaikum,
My father is 68 yrs old.Does'nt even properly know how to offer salah.Has not even performed haj inspite of being admonished by people to perform it.Has intentionally missed Jumah salah many times without any reason.
But the biggest thing bothering me is that he has this obsession of collecting obscene/nude statues usually of female body and the most tragic part isthat he simply does not listen to any one (starts shouting and abusing others if some one tries to advise him).
This has completely wiped out barakah from our house and i fear Allah's wrath on our house because of his this shameful hobby.
Moreover in an age when he should be engaged in zikr and ibadat he brings loads of vulgar indian film magazines and reads abt latest affairs/flings of bollywood actors and actresses.
Due to all this i have completely broken off conversation with him except an occasional salam or just asking any thing of important domestic work.
Plz advise me what should i do in this situation.

P.S my mother and bros are also bay deen (watch tv,music,not praying)


Try this...

Give him a hard time about it to a point that he gets very frustrated with you going on about it.

After a few days when he gets realy frustrated, make a deal with him.

Tell him you will stop if he sits in taleem with you everyday for 5 mins. Read from the life of the Prophet and Sahaba (rd) everyday t home for just 5 mins. Dont over do it. Have a set time everyday. Do it in the main family room so everyone will benefit.
