What should I do about the negative change in my husband's behavior, who was once religious and well-mannered, but has now become violent and neglects prayer, which has affected my feelings towards him and made me fear reaching divorce?

It is recommended to be patient with the husband, obey him, advise him gently at appropriate times, and frequently supplicate for his guidance and righteousness, seek forgiveness, show humility, and recite the Quran. It is preferable to involve some righteous people to advise him, while reminding him to maintain prayer at its prescribed times, as it is the pillar of religion, and its ترك is threatened with severe punishment, for Allah the Almighty says: "There succeeded them a posterity who neglected prayers and pursued desires; so they are going to meet evil," and Allah the Almighty says: "So woe to those who pray, [But] who are heedless of their prayer." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, also said: "The covenant between us and them is prayer; whoever abandons it has disbelieved." And Allah does not waste the reward of those who are patient and fulfill their duty.
