Quote:
Praise belongs to Allah Who has sent down the Book to His slave and has put no crookedness in it.
It is straight, to warn of violent force direct from Him, and to give the good news to the muminun, those who do right actions, that for them there is an excellent reward,
a place in which they will remain for ever,
and to warn those who say ´Allah has a son.´
They have no knowledge of this, neither they nor their fathers. It is a monstrous utterance which has issued from their mouths. What they say is nothing but a lie.
Perhaps you may destroy yourself with grief, chasing after them, if they do not have iman in these words.
We made everything on the earth adornment for it so that We could test them to see whose actions are the best.
We will certainly make everything on it a barren wasteland.
Do you consider that the Companions of the Cave and Ar-Raqim were one of the most remarkable of Our Signs?
When the young men took refuge in the cave and said, ´Our Lord, give us mercy directly from You and open the way for us to right guidance in our situation.´(Al Kahf Verses 1-10)

I have pondered a lot on this problem. The problem of Dajjal. The problem of preserving emaan in these times. I have pondered on this problem for more than five years now.
People accuse me of inconsistency and rightly do so. However, they must understand that this problem is very complicated and our options are very few. We are not in a favorable position.
I have come to this conclusion that either fight or die preserving your iman. Migrate to the mountains and fight or go in long tabligh trips while ignoring the problems with tablighis and ask Allah to take your life in the condition of iman while you are in the path of Allah. Our job is not to correct those who don't want to be corrected. Our job is to preserve our own iman at the end.
Either fight and die or run and die. The civilized world is not safe and I can see no third option. Do whatever you can while there is still time. Who knows that as the time progresses, we will have this much choice or not.
As far as the family is concerned. At the end of the day we can do nothing but educate. We can't force anyone. So everyone will taste the fruit of their own choice.
