If they are saying: “I am German, I am English, I am Swedish, I am Greek”, that is wrong. I am not asking your tribe and the tribe is not important. Important is that which is giving to you an honour: To be a member of the Children of Adam, Safiyullah.
Who are you? You must know, who are you. Very simple answer: “I am Adams generation, I am member of big family of humanity, belonging to Adam physically, belonging to our Prophet, (the) Seal of Prophets, Sayyidina Muhammad spiritually!”
