I go to a High School that is brainwashed by the propaganda the news and media has fed them. A lot of them after getting acquainted will ask me what my name is, and after they find out that it is Omer they ask me if I'm muslim. I proudly proclaim that I am. A lot of people are Okay and don't mind it one bit and i have a lot of friends that aren't arrogant and don't believe everything they hear about Islam, but there are those who are arrogant and will confront me and make fun of me for my religion, at times i feel the urge to punch them in the face and really hurt them but I'm quick to remember that it isn't worth it and it is only the temptations, and work of shaytan so i say Aootho billah min al shaytan al rajeem and answer to them with nothing but kind words. One time I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and i found written on the wall "Muslims are terrorists" ," Watch out for the muslim devil worshippers".Sometimes when i walk by some in the halls there are those ignorant people who make gun sounds and start screaming allah allah in a degrading way that only makes me feel sorry for them for what Allah has stored for them in the hereafter and i say to them "may God guide you". I have read a verse from the quran but i don't recall the exact surah and ayah that said:
"And the true servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk the earth with humility and when the ignorant address them, they respond with words of peace. "
So i always keep this in mind. How exactly do i deal with this behavior? Are there any ahadith that show you in detail or a Quranic verse or verses that give you a clear understanding as what to do? Sometimes there are those who aren't arrogant that ask me questions about islam and i answer them giving them an understanding about what the faith is really about. Hopefully there were be a lot of advice given : ).
