Straying Husband [Losing his Islam, any advice?]

I need some advice.

Alhamdulilah, my husband is not abusive, or a gambler or an alcoholic...I
respect him and do my best to be his partner in Islam.

But he is losing his Islam...as mine grows, he becomes less interested.  He
needs reminders to pray salah.  He uses bad language, even in front of the
children.  I fear for his future...and that of my children.  He has raised family and
culture above religion.  I am not sure what steps to take to help him.  He is
strong willed and will not listen to others...I've tried that.  Any suggestions?

Salaam alaikum.
Your sister in Islam.

I understand your preidcament sister and the concern for your husbands and childrens welfare there are certain things which come to mind)
1) Well when he is straying you need to be a pillor of support so that he can come back to you
2) always speak of the greatness of allah and the importnace of faith rather than criticisng him
3) You need to rethink your freinds there is some one there who might be influencing him and there isnt some one there who is adequately
coaxing him towards islam
4) take a spiritual holiday
5)a persons iamaan has its fluctuations so be patient and have be brave inshallah everything will work out for the best
6) the last and the most  important  PRAY To ALLAH swt asking for your husbands deliverance for its him who gives hidayah and its with him to change peoples hearts
i hope these few things will  help you in some way
please pray for me too

Masha'allah what an excellent idea. Try to suggest to him that you and him should go umrah. I can't think that anyone remains unaffected after visiting Allah's House.
