Let me add a couple more very important things to remember even when addressing Muslims...

1.  Don't use the word "you", always say "We".  For example, you wouldn't tell your brother, "You" need to have more focus when you pray, but rather say "We" need to have more focus when we pray.

2.  Second of all.  Try not to tell him what to do, but rather give him the virtues of doing a good act and he will want to do it himself.  For example: don't say to him "Go pray!"   Instead, you would tell him the virtues of prayer during the night... here are some examples...

-the person who prays in the darkness of night is the one who has the most Nur (light)

-tell him that there are 7 groups who will be under the shade of Allah on the day of Judgement, and one of those groups contains the people who wept out of fear for Allah when they were by themselves in the silence of the night 

-tell him that prayer restrains us from evil behaivor

-taking time out to pray saves time because it refocuses us

-tell him that prayer organizes our mind and puts the body into motion

-tell him that the one who sacrifices sleep for Allah, will find his reward with Allah in the next life

-tell him that prayer is better than sleep

-tell him that the things that are important to us are the things that we sacrifice for.  That the more effort we put into a thing the more we cherish it.  So that by making effort towards Allah in prayer, it will make us love Allah more, and bring us closer to Allah.
