Adjusting one's aqeedah to live in modern times
Question
If any matter in dunya is globally accepted and recognised yet against the teachings of our beloved prophet Muhammed sallallahu alaihi wasallam and Quran. Is it allowed to adjust our aqeedah to live/survive in modern times or should we rebel against what is wrong even if you stand alone against the entire world?
Answer
We will adjust the corrupt system that is prevalent. We will not make any adjustments to deen, for deen is complete and perfect and making adjustments to deen amounts to distortion. If the world has gone wrong we will correct the world with whatever steps are required to correct it. Sometimes the correction can be done politely and sometimes with a little firmness.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
