Your reward comes from Allah, not people, so keep going forward with Allah in your mind and in your heart. Most importantly, don’t worry if you happen to be the only one who’s holding on to this deen. When they see what Islam is all about rather than just hearing about it from false media sources, it will drastically change their opinion about you (and Islam). Usually, all it takes is a single conversation to break down and crush all the stereotypes that has been built up in people’s minds. Show the beauty of this religion through your actions.
Unfortunately, it is a very negative mindset that they have.
Most of the people today already have a fixed mindset about Islam and Muslims. Therefore, always, remind your heart of the end result and not the instant gratification that others are seeking out. Shaitan is very quick to play mind games with us and make us feel inferior or worthless, but what is with Allah is magnificent and everlasting. It’s not easy to pull the prayer mat out when others are sleeping, or watching stuff online.īut take this man from Surah Yaseen as a role model and proclaim the essence of tawheed proudly in your words, actions and deeds…because as long as you have Allah with you, how does it matter who is against you.Īt the end of the day, these people’s opinions will never count…only Allah’s opinion matters, so why even bother about what others think about you. It’s not easy to be the odd one out when you find your friends dating and partying. They don’t understand why we need to be “rigid” with our beliefs and not enjoy life like others do because life is all about “YOLO” according to them. They find it odd to see a man sport a beard for religious purposes, although it is completely acceptable for a man to sport a beard because it’s trendy or fashionable. People find it weird when they see a woman drape herself in hijab or wear loose clothes from head to toe on a sunny day. In today’s world, Muslims are automatically the odd ones out.

Indeed, I have believed in your Lord, so listen to me.” It was said, “Enter Paradise.” He said, “I wish my people could know of how my Lord has forgiven me and placed me among the honored.” ( Yaseen, 36:20-27)
Follow those who do not ask of you payment, and they are guided.Īnd why should I not worship He who created me and to whom you will be returned? Should I take other than Him deities, if the Most Merciful intends for me some adversity, their intercession will not avail me at all, nor can they save me? Indeed, I would then be in manifest error. He said, “O my people, follow the messengers. “And there came from the farthest end of the city a man, running. Surah Yaseen is the 36th Surah in the Quran, which covers topics that include tawheed, the message of the messenger/s, Allah’s magnificent creation along with the reality of Hell-fire and Paradise. It’s not an easy task is it? But that is exactly what happens in this Surah. You even go one step ahead, knowing that the authorities may not be happy with your open proclamation, and encourage others to accept the messenger too.
However, that doesn’t stop you from proclaiming the oneness of Allah or following tawheed. Imagine being the only one in an entire city who believes in a particular religion…you know it’s the truth, but your family, loved ones, friends and every other person you meet refuses to hold the same belief as you.
