We have come a long way in this country as Muslims. Various factors have turned out to be effective teachers and attention getters for Muslims and Islam in this country over the past couple of decades and 9/11 is not the most important one.
We see Hajj every year,
We get Ramadan "breaking Fast" in the white house
We see Eid celebrations and messages from authorities in the Government
We have said prayers in Arabic for opening Senate or congress sessions
We have regular appointed Imams (Muslim Chaplins) in all categories of the armed forces
and more
This makes me feel that we have a strong responsibility of answering questions on Islam and its stand on various things we encounter daily with our colleagues, coworkers, what have you. We cannot leave it to the Imam or other Scholar or on Dawa committee etc.
Like one of the persons who I met in Pakistan who advised me:
"You are Ambassadors of Islam".
It was 1977 I was in the plane leaving from Karachi to Lahore when he, wearing Arabic dress came to sit with me, a clean-shave wearing a three piece suit. Yes his diagnosis was correct he was no other than Dr. Mohammad Muhsin Khan the translator of Bokhari and Quran-el-Majeed (Noble Qur'an)
He was a 1950 grad. of my college (King Edward)and had specialized in Pulmonary Medicine.

"This makes me feel that we have a strong responsibility of answering questions on Islam and its stand on various things we encounter daily with our colleagues, coworkers, what have you. We cannot leave it to the Imam or other Scholar or on Dawa committee etc."
Yes this is my plea no matter what our racket what our pursuits and whatever our profession we need to equip ourselves with thatminimal knowledge about Islam. Jazakallah
May Allah reward you and all who strive in His way.
