What should a thirteen-year-old girl do to be guided, and for her family members (father, brother, and older sister) who do not pray to also be guided?
Prayer is the pillar of Islam and its most important tenet after the Two Testimonies. It is the first thing a servant will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment, and abandoning it is an act of disbelief, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, between a man and polytheism and disbelief is the abandonment of prayer."
Among the things that help in performing it are: 1. Being mindful of its importance and the gravity of abandoning it. 2. Remembering Allah's blessings and the obligation to thank Him through prayer. 3. Fearing the dire consequences of abandoning it. 4. Sincere desire and asking Allah for guidance.
