Neglecting prayer is one of the gravest sins; indeed, some scholars consider it an act of disbelief. Therefore, one must safeguard it and perform it on time. This is facilitated by remembering the severe warnings for those who abandon prayer, engaging in acts of obedience, keeping the company of righteous women, listening to lessons and admonitions, seeking religious knowledge, striving against oneself, and seeking Allah's help through supplication. As for attaining khushu' (devotion) in prayer, there are specific means to achieve it. Regarding the husband, he must be pressured by all means to repent and return to his prayers.
