Proclaim: “If your parents, your children, your siblings, your spouses, your family, the money you have earned, a business you worry about, and the homes you cherish are more beloved to you than God and His messenger**, and the striving in His cause, then just wait until God brings His judgment.” God does not guide the wicked people.
قُل إِن كانَ ءاباؤُكُم وَأَبناؤُكُم وَإِخوٰنُكُم وَأَزوٰجُكُم وَعَشيرَتُكُم وَأَموٰلٌ اقتَرَفتُموها وَتِجٰرَةٌ تَخشَونَ كَسادَها وَمَسٰكِنُ تَرضَونَها أَحَبَّ إِلَيكُم مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسولِهِ وَجِهادٍ فى سَبيلِهِ فَتَرَبَّصوا حَتّىٰ يَأتِىَ اللَّهُ بِأَمرِهِ وَاللَّهُ لا يَهدِى القَومَ الفٰسِقينَ

*9:24 Since the odds are overwhelming against any human being to actually believe and devote the worship to God alone (12:103, 106), it is virtually impossible to see a whole family believe. Thus, most believers have been faced with the choice: “Either me or God and His messenger.” This choice is consistently stated by spouses of the believers, or their parents, their children, etc. Consistently, the believers made the right choice. This is a mandatory test for all believers (29:2).
**9:24 The Quranic, mathematical evidence points specifically at God’s Messenger of the Covenant. By adding the gematrical value of “Rashad” (505), plus the value of “Khalifa” (725), plus the verse number (24), we get 505+725+24=1254=19×66.
