السلام عليكم,

What if his fault is that he can't do what the shaikh tells him? For example, he tells the shaikh he is not praying 5 times salaah so the shaikh tells him pray 5 times salaah. If he could do it, he wouldn't have to ask the shaikh?

wa alikum us salaam

the true shuyookh are such that they will reply to you in such a manner that it will truly shake you to action if you are genuine in your desire to reform. recently i wrote to my shaykh saying that i spend too much time on the computer and mobile phone doing useless things (though outwardly not sinful) he adviced me to use the computer and other modern equipment only to the extent of necessity (which someone would say is something we already know) and added "if we cannot save ourself from such distractions now, how are we going to save ourself when dajjall arrives with all his attractions" this statement of my shaykh affected me very much.
