1. when you get up for fajr when others are having sweet dreams and you pray asr when others are busy in office work, selling in markets.
2. when you pay zakat when others find it unfair.
3. when you avoid alcohol while others say "its ok to have some fun".
4. when you dont have boy/girl friend but others say "you are wasting your youth".
5. when you dont take bank interest when others think that its a profit on your savings.
6. when brothers dont show their thighs in market and sisters their hairs.
7. when you avoid watching movies and listening to music and others think that you are becoming too hard.
8. when your fear of Allah cant let you steal even 50 cents toffee from supermarket and others say that you are crazy.
9. when you want to have Islamic rule and others say " you are becoming backward".
Prophet (peace be upon him) said Islam began as something strange and will return as something strange as it began, so give glad tidings to the strangers. (sahih muslim)
This happened to me early last year when I started to practice Islam as best as I could and implement Islamic syariah in my daily life.
My (muslim) friends called me "extremist" and began to avoid me. Which is very strange because what I do is just basic requirements that muslims should do.
