Ibn Taymiyyah states in his book that Najashi RA never prayed, fasted, gave zakah or made Hajj as he feared the rebellion of his people as they were orthodox christians and only a small number converted with him
He also ruled with law not made by Allah out of fear too
Another thing, Allah doesn't change the state of a people until they change what is within themselves
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yaman reported: I asked, “O Messenger of Allah, we were living in an evil time and Allah brought us good in which we live now. Will there be evil after this good?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “
Yes.” I said, “And any good after this evil?” The Prophet said, “
Yes.” I said, “And any evil after this good?” The Prophet said, “
Yes.” I said, “How will it be?” The Prophet said, “
Leaders after me will come who do not follow my guidance and my Sunnah.
Some of their men will have the hearts of devils in a human body.” I said, “O Messenger of Allah, what should I do if I live to see that time?” The Prophet said, “
You should listen and obey the ruler, even if he strikes your back and takes your wealth, even still listen and obey.”

“There will be rulers over you. You will agree with some of what they come with and reject some of it.
