Some advice maybe? please

Be patient, don't get discouraged u are on the straight path.
Imagine wat the prophet (saw) n the sahabas had to go through?

Indeed, those who committed crimes used to laugh at those who believed (Al-Mutaffifin 83/29).

Brother personally, I don't think its neccessary. We aren't in a society where where having garments below the ankles shows pride

akhee dont even let yourself think about pleasing other then Allaah.

those gigglers and mockers dont deserve the time of day*

I need some advice brothers and sisters,

Because i have been folding my lower garment above my ankles and people in my college are laughing at me and also mocking etc... I tell them its a religious thing and its the way our Prophet Muhammed told us to but still.

its kind of getting to me any advice please thank you.

firstly, i wouldn't worry too much inshallah. people are always going to judge you in one way or another.

secondly, its okay to wear your lower garment at the same level of the ankles, as long as its not below the ankles.

He (Ibn Uthaymeen) —may Allah have mercy on him—also said in al-baabil-Maftooh meetings, answering a question regarding the matter:

Question: If the Izaar is right at the level of the ankles, then is this Isbaal?
Answer: If the Izaar, Qamees, Mishlah (i.e. cloak), or Sirwaal is right at the level of the ankles, then no, this is not considered Isbaal. However, the Isbaal is that goes below the ankles just as it was mentioned in the hadeeth: "The part of an Izaar which hangs below the ankles is in the Fire". (151/19 Transcribed from a recording by islamweb.net)

^my brother does that when he goes to work. works for him.

I think what some brothers are saying is completely wrong...

I see a lot of brothers not folding their trousers above their ankles.. and making reasons up blah blah...

Its haraam to have it below the ankles and you all know that.

You cant change Islam to suit your selfs you have to follow it correctly

then there are those who wear the bottoms of their trousers cut short and strut around with as much pride and arrogance (if not more), as the pagans of Jahiliyya (pride and arrogance as meant by the very Ahadees they claim to follow).
wa salam alaikum


edit:

"....men should keep their trousers a little bit above the ankles, and it may be lengthened till the ankles, but below the ankles is forbidden if it implies showing-off; if not, lengthening in this case is just makruh (blameworthy), especially if it drags on filth.

The eminent Muslim scholar, Sheikh Dr. Yusuf Al-Qaradawi , states:

"The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Eat and drink (from what is lawful), wear garments, and give charity without extravagance or showing-off." (Reported by Al-Bukhari)

In this hadith the centre point is 'extravagance and showing-off'. Thus, one should avoid both things in all affairs. This is based on many Prophetic sayings narrated in this respect. One of them is: “Wearing whatever is below the ankles may drive one to Hell”.

The theme of this hadith is applied to both the hands and the legs and covers all of what is worn on them, like trousers, garments, etc.

Al-Bukhari and Muslim also reported that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever drags his garment on the ground, as a show-off attitude, will never behold Allah on Doomsday". Thereupon, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet: “O Allah’s Messenger! My garment is somehow long but I manage to keep it from dragging." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “You are not known for showing-off". Thus, showing-off is a form of arrogance and vain glory.
(Narrated by Al-Bukhari)
Therefore, men should keep their trousers a little bit above the ankles, and it may be lengthened till the ankles, but below the ankles is forbidden if it implies showing-off; if not, lengthening in this case is just makruh (blameworthy), especially if it drags on filth.

As for women, they are allowed to wear long dresses that overlap their ankles, in order to cover their whole body."

In order to have a correct understanding of the Sunnah, all the authentic hadiths on the same subject must be collected so that the ambiguous among them can be understood in light of the clear, the unrestricted in light of the restricted, and the general in light of the specific. In this way, the intended meanings of hadiths would be clear, and no contradiction would be assumed among them. If it is established that the Sunnah explains the Qur'an, detailing its generalities and clarifying its ambiguities, then the Sunnah, with greater reason, should be referred to for explaining and understanding the Sunnah itself.

From my last post (which you quoted) I intended the following:

If one has researched to the best of his ability what is the ruling on isbaal in the deen and comes to x conclusion then he should follow that without any shame. There may be an acceptable difference of opinion on this matter - I've not researched it in huge depth.

Let me slightly rephrase the question:

do you know types of Sunnat? if so can you list them?

simple yes or no would also be sufficient for my purposes jazakAllah khair in advance
