People get labelled as weird for the smallest of things and often, just because they go against the grain or the status-quo, they're considered weird. But what is normal even?

In this video I embark on a reflective journey, confronting the unsettling truth about societal norms and the valour in being deemed 'strange' by those very standards. Let's be honest, in a world where following the crowd is seen as the path of least resistance, making choices that deviate from the status quo can often label one as an outcast. But maybe it’s the outcasts, those who embrace the strangeness of Islam, who are truly aligned with the most authentic version of themselves and, indeed, the most beloved by Allah.

Through the lens of history and the teachings of Islam, this video delves into the essence of what it means to challenge the prevailing narrative. It's time we stopped to question: What does it mean to be normal in a society that often goes against the very nature of man? From the Mongol era to today's complex societal structures, the pursuit of staying true to one's fitra (innate nature) amidst an unnatural economy and societal expectations is a courageous act of defiance.

Featuring insights on how Islam views the concept of 'strangeness' and the historical context in which being apart from the norm was seen as a position of honour, this video is a call to deeper understanding and acceptance of one's path, even when it diverges from the mainstream.
