I say: " WAKE  UP YOUNG MUSLIMS AND PULL YOUR SOCKS UP.STOP FOLLOWING THE MISTAKES OF OUR PARENTS GENERATION WHERE WE HAVE TO APOLOGIZE FOR BEING A MUSLIM.
BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE. MAKE A POINT TO: LEARN AN ASPECT ABOUT OUR BELOVED PROPHET (may Almighty Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), PRACTICE IT, TEACH IT TO OTHERS AND MAKE THE SUNNAH ALIVE."
finally i would like to conclude by asking: What do you imagine for  the Muslim ummah to be today????????..      more honest, humble, loving, educated Muslims who are the perfect role models???
I'm sure u must be nodding your head in agreement. So go out there and be that 'role model'
You'll be surprised at how quickly YOU will be 'the agent of change' in your community.
May Almighty Allah help you and me in this. Ameen...
