Being laughed at and taunted for taking Islam seriously is a Sunnah of all Prophets. Congratulations if this is happening with you. Next time someone laughs at you, calls you names or berates you for following the deen of Allah with ihsan and ikhlaas,
always remember you are on the right path.
Actually I stand corrected - ❝You are on the best path there❞.
Our beloved rasool Allah صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ was called mad, called a magician, stoned till he had to run on his bare feet from Taif.

I have been called so many names by my friends and family. Some in jest and some seriously.
One of my aunts tried to pull my sister’s Hijab off in a family event saying "Why are you always wrapped up in that thing you are so beautiful show your hair".

I am sure she meant well but that left me a little traumatized. 😅
Talk about being attacked at a family function, my family's been giving the kuffar or Islamophobic people a run for their money.

I come from a past of not believing in Allah and not taking Islam seriously. When I came to Islam it was a shock for many. Even today when I meet up with my school friends or uni friends, they double check if I am the same PengPappi and what changed me so much.
Just ignore them with kindness and empathy. They mean you no harm. Not everyone goes through such drastic changes in life. Some people are just genuinely curious and not evil.
Not everyone is going to understand your choices and path in life. And THAT IS OKAY. 🙂

As long as Allah is pleased with you, what else and who else do you really need in your life? On journey of being a sincere Muslim and trying to do the right thing by Allah you will lose a lot, and everything and everyone you lose was never really worth having to begin with.

I also wanted to share this passage from Quran where the believers who are struggling to hold onto Islam while being mocked, misunderstood and ridiculed will have the last laugh.
📖 ❝Surely those who committed sin used to laugh at those who believed,
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
And when they passed by them, they would exchange derisive glances.
And when they returned to their people, they would return jesting.
And when they saw them, they would say, "Indeed, those are truly lost."
While they had not been sent as guardians over them!
So, on this Day (of Judgement) the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
(Sitting) on thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
So, on this Day (of Judgement) the Believers will laugh at the Unbelievers:
(Sitting) on thrones (of Dignity) they will command (a sight) (of all things).
Have not the Unbelievers been paid back for what they used to do?❞
{Surah Al-Muţaffifīn 83: Verses 29-36}
In the golden words of Shaykh Navaid Aziz
❝He who has no one has Allah. He who has Allah, has every thing’.❞
{Surah Al-Muţaffifīn 83: Verses 29-36}
In the golden words of Shaykh Navaid Aziz
❝He who has no one has Allah. He who has Allah, has every thing’.❞
If holding onto Islam seems tough remember that Yaqub عليه السلام used to smell the scent of Yusuf عليه السلام.
❝Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind.❞
{Surah Yusuf 12: Verse 94}
❝Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind.❞
{Surah Yusuf 12: Verse 94}
The lesson we learn from this ayah is that the believers who hold a good opinion of Allah tend to smell the fragrance of blessings, relief, justice and reward despite it's distance and despite all the uncertainty that sometimes surrounds a hardship.
Great blessings and beautiful things are hidden behind the curtain of hardships. Allah does this to surprise us with His generous gifts (as a reward) for our patience. The hardships we experience always make us more appreciative of the blessings that follow.
