Encouraging Patience in Calling to Allah

Question:
Some young people who hold firmly to their religion are now being fought against even in their fathers' homes; because they are fighting the evils that have entered the homes and corrupted people's hearts. We ask for your guidance.

Answer:
He must be patient. The young people, and those who are not young, must be patient. If affliction enters the home, he must be patient. This is the time of patience, and the time of trials and tribulations. He must be patient, strive according to his ability, and ask Allah for help in doing so.
And if he is able to become independent and live in a house of his own, if they do not respond to him and do not obey him in removing the evils, there is no harm in his becoming independent if he can, in a house of his own. And if he cannot, let him strive, let him fear Allah, and Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity, and he should not attend the evil.
So the degrees of forbidding evil are three: the hand, then the tongue, then the heart. The first is with his hand if he can. If he is the head of the household, he can do what he is able to do. And if he is not the head of the household, but is forced to be with his parents, with his father and his older brothers; let him forbid what he can with his tongue. If they do not respond, let him forbid it with his heart. If he is able to separate and become independent in a house, let him do so. That is the struggle of this life, the life of struggle, and the abode of struggle. So patience is necessary, and striving according to ability is necessary, .

Question : Is this considered part of jihad?

Answer: There is no doubt. Forbidding evils is part of jihad.
