I was wondering about the athan and the iqama when combining prayers. Are they the same? I heard someone say in instead of “Hayya alassalah” say (pray in your home) is that correct? If so is it in the Athan or the Iqama? How many times to say it? And its Arabic form.

My mother regards pointing out flaws she is doing in deen as “insults”. Sometimes I argue and get frustrated. She no longer enjoys my company because I talk abt Allah SWT all the time. I don’t want to sever my relation but what can I do? She is 60+ . I worry if she doesn’t abandon her paki ways now, what will happen to her in the akhirah? Should I keep what I learn to myself and not burden her?
