The future of a Trump presidency has many Muslims feeling somber, depressed, and stagnant. A man who is openly Islamophobic has been elected to be the next president of the United States. One of the potential negative consequences of this is many Muslims not moving forward with whatever goals or ambitions they had due to fear or feelings of somberness. Life goes on and we must continue to do good deeds for God’s pleasure no matter the president.

One individual whom inspires me is the boxing champion, Muhammad Ali. Muhammad Ali states that even after winning an Olympic metal in boxing, he was not allowed to eat at a restaurant in his home city simply because he was black. Subsequently, Ali describes his embracing of Islam as a protest to the racial-caste system in America. Despite the widespread dislike of Muslims, Ali remained unaplogetically Muslim. He was already hated because he was black. So being hated by some for his embracing of Islam was really no big deal. No matter how much hatred and harassment comes toward our community, we need to continue to stand strong, be proud and unapologetic Muslims!

“So, O believers, as a requirement of the wisdom in and purpose for your life of the world,) you will surely be tested in respect of your properties and your selves, and you will certainly hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Book before you and those who associate partners with God. If you remain patient (are steadfast in your religion and observe the bounds set by God in your relations with them) and keep within the limits of piety (in obeying God and in your conduct toward them), (know that) this is among meritorious things requiring great resolution to fulfill(3,186, Ali Ünal translation). “
