Wa alaikumussalaam,

I've got 5 words for yah... "Get used to it bro" I think every Muslim who lives in a non-Muslim country have experienced those funny stares. A part of the mall near my office where I drop by almost everyday to get some groceries, blew up. SubhanAllaah so imagine the effect of this on many Muslims here. I just got to work and the guards who used to be friendly to me asked me to drop my bag on the table and opened it May Allaah swt strengthen you Ameen

Well bro , the 4 imams say haram to shave , what more to say and also the hadith :lol: . Keep the beard neat and tidy, bro

You just become a stranger...reminds me of the song ghuraba

Bro , are you living in Germany.

As salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wabrakatuhu
I had a verbal duel with a hindu because he called me a terrorist during a lesson in our university. Just because I have beard now, which I did not have 2 years back. Later he apologised but I have learnt how to be calm. Now I dont get angry on these people, but I feel pity for them and make duas for them. You need to remember that you are an ambassador of Islam and the whole Muslim Ummah. Show your best and give your best to everybody so that they understand the beauty of Islam and Muslims. Remember that whatever these people say, The Angels are keeping a record of everything and above all Allah Subhanahu wa Taala is watching.

Yes Brother, you are alien to these people. We live in a society where homosexuality is considered 'normal' but growing a beard is a bit too much for them.

[happy 2 b muslim]

HEY,.... it like being a hijabie lol no i havent got abuse for wearing the hijab although i have heard crazy story about thing that happened to my sister and my friend

 

[yusra489]

Don't worry as long u know are doing the right thing that is all that matters. This is just a test to see if u are really committed to ur religion. Inshallah u have the strength to overcome it.

'it's just sunnah' subhanallah!!
I hear this phrase so often too

 

[Muslimah-S]

Walikumasalam
Struggle and inshallah u will be sucessful brother.
Dont expect things to happen struggle and make them happen, meaning we cant expect to get granted heavan without struggling to achieve it.
Having a beard is just as difficult as keeping on a Hijab.
Live thinking what the creator thinks of u, not what the creation thinks of u.
Then u'll be at peace inshallah.
May Allah make it easy for u brother.

True
If they see someone with green colored hair and all in chains and tattoos its normal ,nobody will react.Its not extreme for them
but if they see HIJABI walking by its called EXTREME

Let them stare brother .Its normal ....just ignore and keep your head up


waaleikum salam

 

[muharram23]

atleast now brother they know for sure u r a muslim. When you were clean shaved, you camaflouged within the society so noone knew u were muslim. But now since you are different, people look at you, and you should be proud that they know ur muslim. In one hadeeth is mentioned that who ever immitates one people, then he is one of them. Also, who ever you love, ull be with those whom you love.

Wallahu alem

Assalamu alaykum

Actually, a better question would have been if you had asked this "am i a stranger?" Alien=stranger

assalamu alaykum

my dear brother in islam, you are not an alien. you are a stranger :ma:
when you are seen as a stranger because people criticize your beard; when people see you making salah; fasting while everyone else is feeding their faces; when people find out that your iPod only has quran and islamic teachings inside it instead of hip-hop; know that you are on the right path towards Allah SWT.

we all have to live in this world as if we were strangers. this dunya is not ours. we live and strive for the jannah. we want to return home. none of the things that the unbelievers treasure will save them or serve as a ransom for them on the day of judgement. on that day they'll wish that they had been strangers. may Allah SWT make all of us among the strangers and allow us into jannah inshAllah.
