wel dnt change ur attitudes towards her jus treat her ow u used to lyk greet her wid salaams wen u c her & in da odd occassions bring up religion in ur convos dat way Insha-Allah she mite b tempted to ask u somethin o bring up a topic herself.
This can b a start point to her changing if dats wat her hearts intentions are.

but nah, i dont think thats necessarily the right approach now... yash has already tried being there to tell her more about Islam, but she's chosen to go against all tht, which is y she's avoiding yash.

yash i think its obviously upto Allah (s.w.t) to guide her back if He wills, so now just be there for her as a regular friend, chat about usual things, if its wot she wants, avoid talking about religion. just set a good example (which i'm sure u already do!)

Since she isn't aware that i know she's left Islam i've not mentioned it, she speaks to me as if she's still muslim, i duno how to treat her. Do i say salams treat her as a fellow muslim or what?

If she behaves with you as a muslim, gives you salaam, talks about ALLAH Rasul salallahu alayhi wa sallam then for the time she is with you treat her as a muslim. It is entirely possible that in your company her imaan returns to her heart.

Perhaps advise her in a third party kind of way. Saying that oh you know a friend who became muslim but found stuff too hard and then turned apostate but still believed in her heart. How if she believes it in her heart then she shouldnt expect too much too soon. Perhaps tell her to keep her jumuah salah weekly if nothing else.

Generally speaking the salah is not optional once a person has accepted the religion, but in this case there is ambiguity so better to encourage her to have an easy once a week target and say u wanna link up wiv her every 2 wks or summat.

If she behaves as a believer in your company then you have the ability and authority to sway her.
