😓 It can be tough being “different”Especially living in the West, we can feel that our ‘Muslim-ness’ is under a microscope. 🔬Different definitions of fun, different world views, different ways of living - it’s just…different. And quite frankly, it can sometimes make us want to shy away or keep our Islam on the low so we don't feel singled out from the rest of our classmates.But how do we deal with this conundrum? How do we deal with our Muslim-ness? How do we even become unapologetically Muslim
