Assalamu Aleykum
Subhan'Allah, it "rolled" in all the Muslims favor!
I admire this brother for standing up for what he believes in, it is very rare these days. I hear about many Muslim brothers who cut off their beard, sisters who take off their hijab and changing their Muslim name to some other...it's really sad! All because they maybe looked upon differently or not get a job etc. I just wish our Ummah would realise that everything that happens is from Allah with a reason.
I pray that our Muslim brothers and sisters beat this battle on Dunya to achieve victory in Akhira, Amin!
Wa Salamu Aleykum
