There are Muslims in every nation and of every culture. We’re not asked to become what we’re not. We’re asked to be what we’re destined to become.

O mankind! Lo! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. Lo! the noblest of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Lo! God is knowing, aware.

Quran 49:13

Let not historic hatreds between nations blind us to the universal call of faith, which unites all peoples as one.

And hold firmly to the rope of God all together and do not become divided. And remember the favour of God upon you — when you were enemies and He brought your hearts together and you became, by His favour, brothers. And you were on the edge of a pit of fire, and He saved you from it. Thus does God make clear to you His signs that you may be guided.

Qur’an 3:103

Our ethnicity, nationality, mother-tongue or class have no bearing on our ultimate success. Only our conduct has any impact on that. Be as your are, and as you appear to be.
