Brother, I really think you need to chill out a bit. You seem to look down on your brother and family because they watch movies and listens to songs. But weren't you like that a while ago? Rather than thinking bad of them you should be grateful to Allah that he guided you away from such stuff. After all, it's not like you're special or anything, none of us are, Allah guided you away from those things through his mercy.

And it's not part of Islam to ruin family relationships. You know you did wrong to your brother. You should apologise to him sincerely and beg him to forgive you. Remember, just because you may avoiding certain things that your family doesn't avoid, doesn't make you better than them. For all you know, their status with Allah could be a lot higher than yours.

Don't ruin your relationship with your family.
