If a person commits several sins, the advisor should begin with the most important, then the next in importance, such as prayer, because abandoning it is disbelief (kufr). If the person adheres to prayer, then other abominations can be denounced, while taking into account what is beneficial, as Allah Almighty says: (So fear Allah as much as you are able) [Quran 64:16]. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, called to Islam and abandoning polytheism before denouncing other abominations.
