quotation of scholars:
man taha wana bil adabi hurimassunana, wa man taha wana bissununi hurimal faraida, waman taha wana bilfaraida hurimal aakhirata kaja fii tálimil mutaállim.
who feel lazy to maintain adab, he will mahrum from maintain sunnah,who feel lazy to maintain sunnah,he will mahrum from maintain fard,who feel lazy to maintain he will mahrum from maintain he will mahrum from the niamah of hereafter.
sorry brother my english is not so good and also not arabic.
it will be better if any brother can help to translate that quotation.
hope i make it clear about the importance of adab or sunnah.
( thats just a sunnah.)
one of my brother quote this sentence.There is nothing wrong in that sentence.But during the time of sahaba they couldn´t even think about to leave sunnah of prophet(sw).They thought we will be in trouble if we left the sunnah of prophet (sw) but now a days we leave even fard salah but not awaring of any problem.

that school in jersey city is known to be racist. a good friend of mine had left that school because of it. a kufi, because of it's reputation of being islamic identity is seen as threatening to them over there. it is a catholic college after all, and they can't afford to have people convert to islam. think about it. you never wore the kufi before, now that you do, people will be questioning you about it, which gives you an opportunity to talk about islam, something although they won't admit it, they don't like.
As brother nyerekareem gave us some information about that institue so i think if you cant do this you can chuck it.
No i wont. i wont say chuck it away but you can wear it once you got out of school . keep it in the bag then
It is not wajib but akhi there are many other ways to help you become a better muslim.....
I will also say the same things what brother alkathiri said.
The problem as you said you start it wearing since yesterday not from the first day of school.
And such things is not understable by some people.
it would be better if you had worn it first day of class.
I got same situation with kufi in my class when i was in 10 standard.
even muslim teachers make fun about it(specially my religion teacher).
i feel such pain in my heart and then i did dua to allah that ohh allah i want to practise sunnah and increase my iman.
alhamdulillah allah accept my dua and even there are a few german atheist teacher in my class they allow me to wear kufi but not the another boys who wear caps.
Brother i hope you have beard , if you have then i hope you have also beard which is more then one hand full(wajib).
Hope its will be help you to save you from some fitna´s.
I think kufi is very importent sunnah indeed.Hope this thread will help to understand the importance of kufi:
