Question:
Salamalaykum Sheikhs
BismillahirRahmannirRahim
I live in a very small place which is a ‘new age’ town.
There are a group of ‘sufis’ who outcasted us due to us having different beliefs and are getting increasingly hostile towards us for not joining in.
On top of this, all the ‘hippies’ in the town are also outcasting us. We have 3 kids now and even the other young families are doing the same. I don’t feel I can go out anymore, and we’ve become hardy to isolation.
We’ve wanted to leave before but Ive been hoping that ALLAH makes us leave, or that one of His Friends orders us to, as I don’t feel I should make the decision. Is it better that we stay? Otherwise, can we move away to be in isolation but away from people (and their evil)?
Answer:
Alaykum salam,
Mawlana Shaykh Hisham said that if you are concerned for safety then
move elsewhere where you can be closer to the community.
