Questions - Ask Imam Salim (Questions about Islam)
Muslim Identity in the US
The question of Muslim Identity in the US is of importance both to converts
and immigrants. Who we are as Muslims in the US has, up to know, been
defined by people outside the community, often with their own agenda. It is
time that Muslims in the US begin to define themselves. What this means is
a soul searching that takes into account our diverse backgrounds and lives.
It is possible that a more diverse group of Muslims has not lived together,
alongside people of many other religions, since the 1400's in Andalusia.
Sometimes that makes things challenging but it also means, when we meet
those challenges with faith in Allah (swt) we come out with better lives,
living a true, devout, spiritual life. A life that includes close ties with the
multitude of diverse people we meet here.
O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and
made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye
may despise (each other). Verily the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah
is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is
well acquainted (with all things). (49:13)

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ |
