I am a revert and had a child before I was Muslim who’s father is Christian. I’ve tried to show him Islam and I’ve taught him as much as I can to fast and pray and the oneness of Allah ect. He is now 10 and has no interest in being a Muslim or pray. I am afraid if I don’t force him to pray I will be judged by Allah and punished by bringing him up not praying. What do I do, will I be punished

Or should I with my attitude let him feel that what he is doing with his mother is unacceptable?

You should advise him against what he is doing, and stop him from it if he is doing it in front of you. You should weigh the consequences of your actions and attitude so that you can do what draws him closer to the truth.

A brother in charge wants to offer prizes (gift cards) for the kids who attend fajr prayer 3 times a week, for the first week 25$ value, if they continue for the second week then they would receive 50 and if they continue for the next couple of weeks then they would get a $100 gift card.
