Identity violation and Islam, how to protect yourself and your beliefs in today’s world of materialism?

It feels very astonishing when people try to disguise their true identities. They do it to get the things for which they are looking. Unaware of the outcomes, they do their utmost efforts to get the fake identities. These all fake identities cost them a lot in the end. This behaviour is very trending among the Muslim communities. It might be due to the reason that they are easily fascinated by the European lifestyles. One fact but the sad reality is that Muslim think that by adopting the European lifestyles and all that vulgarity, they will get all the success in this materialistic life.

Let me clarify their bigger mistake about this man-made assumption by discussing a recent stance from my life. In the past few days, I was scrolling Facebook, recently I went through a post where a Muslim girl shared her life story. I went through the story where at one point she had written that “by moving to Makkah, the things get worse even more”. She did it as being a liberal. She expressed her views very clearly. That was fine. Her tone was very harsh. Yeah, she might indeed go through the hardships in her life. Whatever the case may be, nobody has the right of targeting their religion as being responsible for the things which happen in their life.

It cannot be even expected from a Muslim girl. Her parents would be narrow-minded according to her or whatever the case may be. We cannot blame religion for it. We all face things in life which are not set according to our requirements. As a result, we should not be so reactive that even talking about religion, one should first think. As an outcome that was very expected, I got a lot of offence from the people so-called freedom of speech holders. Yes, you think right, I am talking about your role models the Europeans.

From this experience, I came across the conclusion that they are so scared of talking about religion. They are very much sacred of Islam. To hide their insecurities, they have one slogan that we have freedom of speech. At that point, I thought bai where is your freedom of speech. By my only one comment, you are just so dumb that you just wanted to stop my voice by calling me narrow-minded and belonging to close-minded background. That is not the case. But if it’s real, I am more than happy. Why because I belong to that very religion where limitations are very important. Yeah, Islam is indeed the religion of peace. But it does not mean that anyone can talk about it anything vague.

So, the point is that you have to save your identities whatever the case is. Don’t compromise on religion. Listen to the people smoothly, then state your point of view. If they agree, it’s fine. If not then it’s you who has to protect your beliefs and religion.

I am sorry if you don’t like my thinking and consider me conservative. Then I am. No worries!
