You must try your level best to control your temper and respect your
family. However, you should explain to them in a respectful manner,
that they must stop praticing these customs that go against Islam, for
their own good towards Allah.

Your behavior represents your level of your Iman! It is not an excuse
that you lose your temper as this is a sign of ignorance and lack of
sincerity. Try your level best to stop these whispers of satan and
learn how to control your anger and be diplomatic for the sake of
Allah.

I frequently lose temper and misbehave (which I shouldn’t) because my family prefers customs of our forefathers over Islam. They remain in search of my mistakes to show me that I am in fact a hypocrite following the portion of deen which suits me. If I start living away from them for the sake of Islam, is it legitimate? Does kinship also implies that we should live together or in same city?

I work at a mixed Islamic school in Malaysia where many haram things happen (kids prostrate on hands, women post photos). I want to enjoin good and forbid evil, but have been advised that the atmosphere is sensitive and the authorities may shut the school down as we are already in trouble and labelled as a ‘Wahabi school’. How should I deal with a situation like this please?

I went to Sears(a shop) to buy garments.I was unable to say to the salesman that it is haram to shave and to be a musbil,and that he should not do these 2 things.But I failed to tell him due to Shaitan’s silly distractions and perhaps because I left the shop 3 times due to dirty music playing there.Do I need to go to the shop again and tell him?or repentance is enough?
