Totally agree. So this one friend told about her who husband got so offended that she asked him to go to Jummah today. They had a big fight. She was sad. No big deal because they are a lovely couple otherwise but it brought me to this question when she asked if she did something wrong.
She did not do anything wrong , she should keep trying making sure that it does not turn into a fight.
I will give her a tip. Ask one of his close friends to make sure to pick him up for namaz a jumma from his home, if it is at all possible. I am sure he will go. Buddy system works for many things why will it not work for namaz a jumma ?
