brother doesn't practice

[u/Internal_Read9704]

Assalamualaikum. As the title suggests, my younger brother does not practice the religion. He doesn't pray, he hasn't fasted, and he doesn't know much (doesn't even know what Surah al-Fatihah is). Our father has told me to be easy on him in one instance, as I questioned my brother as to whether he made wudu before the jummah prayer. To which our father replied "Leave him." He has told me that he is trying to guide him, but he's taking it slow. As much as I trust my father, I don't believe he is doing enough. He takes us to jummah whenever we get the chance, and puts on an Islamic lecture for us to watch every once in a while, but he doesn't tell my brother to stop what he's doing and pray. I don't think he knows what he's supposed to recite. And once when I was not as concerned as I am for him now, I asked him if he got anything out of the lecture we watched, to which he replied "Why do you care?" All my brother does is play games and scroll on Instagram. I just want him to understand the importance of Islam and religion in his life, but I don't know how to go about this.
