Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Q&A How to Deal With Negativity When You Start Practising

			How should one respond to personal
insults from members of the
		

			society in regards to the Islamic
dress? Or in general, how should
		

			one respond to people, even within
the Muslim family who does not
		

			support they're coming towards
Islam. That's quite a difficult
		

			affair. But the main thing is, as
we read in the Hadith, Iman is
		

			half of patients. There you go,
the patient's begins there, just
		

			realize, firstly, you have to be
strong enough, because if you're
		

			not strong enough, you'll give it
up the next day. So the first
		

			thing to do is you're going to
have to with have a lot of
		

			strength within you that I'm doing
this for the sake of Allah.
		

			When abuse comes, I'm going to
deal with it. As long as you're
		

			proud within your own self, you're
confident within your own self,
		

			and you're strong in your own
self, then nothing is going to
		

			shake you, you'll actually Excuse
Excuse, and you will actually
		

			display that confidence that
confidence will be shown in your
		

			face, right. So you have to be
strong enough. So you have to get
		

			the theology of it, right, the
belief aspect of it right, once
		

			you've got that, then one is you
never retaught you never, you
		

			never show a bad character because
otherwise, they will tie bad
		

			character to your your your
clothing, or your you know, your
		

			Islamic expression, whatever
you're doing. And that's it that's
		

			really harmful. So you're going to
have to really bear in patients
		

			just like it's, you require a lot
of effort to actually change your
		

			garments or the way you cover and
you start covering, for example,
		

			likewise, you're going to have to
have the inner fortification to
		

			come together, then of course,
wherever possible, generally, what
		

			you'll see is that there will be
this kind of negative response in
		

			the beginning, used to you
shaytaan is making them rebel to
		

			try to force you and pressure you.
But you'll see that soon, they
		

			will get used to it. Generally
speaking, it might sometimes it
		

			takes a week, sometimes it takes
five weeks, sometimes it takes
		

			three months, sometimes it takes a
year. Right and sometimes people
		

			will still gonna buy if the other
person is really stubborn for
		

			whatever reason. But at the end of
the day, generally it does become
		

			easier afterwards. You just have
to deal with the initial fallout
		

			from it, the initial pressure that
comes from it, but strengthen
		

			yourself inside and know that
every difficulty you're facing in
		

			this path, it's a reward for you,
and it's also eliminating some of
		

			your sins. So when you know that
it becomes easier
