dare to be different?

do you dare to stand out in the crowd, as a proud muslim, despite all the negative portrayals of muslims? maybe u feel ashamed of being a muslim in this day and age and wanna hide your true identity? how u do guys feel?

[.: Anna :.]

no way never feel ashamed to be a Muslim!
anyway how can we hide our identity it smacks the person in their face as soon as they see us :D
am very proud 2 b a Muslim. Islam is the best thing any of us have, we should all be proud. Its something good, we shud not hide it. If someone has a negative views that is their prob... but by being open n proud that u are a muslim, then u open the chance 2 b asked about it, so u canremove their misconceptions.
Sometimes ppl make stupid comments but that is not a big thing, weigh it against the benefit we hav of being muslim n it is as if it did not exist.

I never met a Muslim yet who was ashamed to be one, rather the reverse. The only time there was ever a suggestion remotely related, was after the London bombings. A relative of one of the bombers from Leeds came on TV and seemed stunned himself by what his nephew had done. Many of us felt sorry for him, and realised the event was nothing of his doing.

I've always been proud to be different, even before I was a Muslim, i used to have really long hair (and i mean really long) and people would be rude to me, but i never cared what they thought, but as a Muslim, I live by what Allah says is right and I'm proud to be different :D

Ukthy it is the hallmark of a Muslim that he or she is different from the kuffar internal and externally with pride that they have been blessed to be guided as the slaves of Allah (swt) and the followers of Rasul'Allah (saw) and part of hsi Ummah, we have no shame in this.

Our identity is clear- it is that we are Muslim first and Muslim last and that our creed is clear, no fallacies of 'citizenship'/ 'nationality'/ 'culture'/ 'race'/ 'tradition'/ 'colour'/ 'modernism'/ 'liberalist', etc. even comes into the equation- we are firmly rooted in our Tawheed and subsequent allegiance to Allah (swt), his Prophet (saw), and the Muslimoun so refuse to be swayed or swept away by the times that pass nor mass hysteria, etc.

Try insha'allah to remind oneself of the beautiful ahadith:

"Certainly Islaam began as [something] strange, and it will become strange once again as it began. So, blessed are the strangers."
Sahih Muslim and Ahmad.

We thus long to be strange amongst the followers of kufr distinguished by our imaan and pray we are thereby counted and considered from amongst the al- Ghurabaa' (The Strangers)- may glad tidings be upon them- Ameen.
