“We are perhaps living in times when living for Islam is more difficult than dying for it.”

[Abdul Malik Mujahid]

One of the things that is often overlooked by non-Muslims, and this I do not blame them for, is the importance that Islam puts on LIVING its message. Yes, there is great honor in dying for what you believe in, under the right circumstances. But Islamically, LIVING Islam in every aspect of your life, that is the GREATEST honor...To do this, one has to be a good neighbor, a good spouse, a hard worker, a good parent, a good child...aspirations that would be admired by any culture or faith. Those who choose to misconstrue these Islamic ideals have forever tarnished a faith and people that in the end have common aspirations as the rest of humanity, only they are veiled by the misconceptions of their faith, Islam.
