A stranger live up to Allah’s standards which are laid down in Qur’an and Sunnah.


Because something is tradition doesn't make it right
“Just because something is tradition doesn't make it right.”  This is what Anthony J. D'Angelo, in The College Blue Book said. You may be tempted to follow something because it has been endorsed by many people. Anatole France said that “If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing.”  And according to Grace Hopper, “The most damaging phrase in the language is:  “It's always been done that way.” In this battle against conventional beliefs/ways you need to heed the words of Alan Keightley who said “once in a while it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.” Therefore, you need to break away from the crowd/masses/cultures. You are not forced to live up to the society’s standards because this standards may not be right. Malcolm Muggeridge once quipped: “Only dead fish swim with the stream.”  Non-conformity can be defined as “the refusal to accept man-established customs, attitudes, or ideas.” A stranger live up to Allah’s standards which are laid down in Qur’an and Sunnah.
