How do you not emotionally distance yourself from a family

00:00:02 --> 00:00:05

member who identifies as liquid ACU and says you can't emotionally

00:00:05 --> 00:00:08

support them unless you're a pro league ridicu I don't emotionally

00:00:08 --> 00:00:11

support you. And I don't support you're doing something disobeying

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15

God, simple as that. You don't just do the cause you identify

00:00:15 --> 00:00:19

with the cause you hold the cause to be your identity. So I can't

00:00:19 --> 00:00:22

support you or your cause at that point. It's not that you're

00:00:22 --> 00:00:25

struggling with it, you've embraced it. So you have

00:00:25 --> 00:00:29

intertwined yourself with the sin. So I can no longer support you nor

00:00:29 --> 00:00:32

your cause. I will be distanced from you because it's not

00:00:32 --> 00:00:36

something that you fall into. You have willingly done this, and you

00:00:36 --> 00:00:39

enjoy it and you want it and you've made it your identity. So

00:00:39 --> 00:00:43

I'll pray for Your guidance, but don't expect me to hang out. Don't

00:00:43 --> 00:00:46

expect me to do all these wonderful things and smile and be

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49

fake. But I will pray that Allah guide you back to the right path.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:51

That's what I would do in that situation.

"I really think this is one of the greatest causes one could support"
