Something serious.....

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh, my dear brothers and sisters in Islam.

I humbly seek your kind advice and dua on a deeply personal family matter, and I wish to understand its implications in the sight of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala.

My father is a most affectionate and caring father, and he has always been a dutiful son to his own parents, striving to honor them.

Yet, despite his many good qualities, he has fallen into some major gunah (disobediences to Allah), which he keeps hidden from us. He smokes excessively—though we know this is makruh—and alas, he has committed far graver wrongs beyond this...

He has entered into a haram relationship with my aunt (of an intimate nature, subhanAllah), and I came to know of this painful reality only because I stumbled upon videos of them together.

He also consumes alcohol, and regrettably, he does not perform his five daily salah nor engage with the Noble Qur'an as he should.

O my respected brothers and sisters, I turn to you with a heavy heart for your gentle guidance in this trial. What is the wisest and most compassionate approach I might take, in sha' Allah?

I have chosen silence thus far, out of fear that revealing this to my mother could shatter our home and lead to unimaginable hardship, as you may well understand. Above all, I yearn to preserve the unity of my parents' marriage and protect our family from further fitnah.

What steps can I take in this delicate situation to seek Allah's mercy and healing?

And, if I may ask, what might be the consequences for my father on the Day of Judgment (Yawm al-Qiyamah), based on the teachings of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?

Jazakum Allahu khairan for your patience and brotherly/sisterly wisdom. May Allah ease our burdens and guide us all to the Straight Path. Ameen.
