Not feeling embarrassed to follow the Sunnah

Q: We should follow the Sunnah unless it causes people to look down upon the Sunnah. Example: Eating out and insisting on sitting on the floor as Sunnah, or eating with your hands at a function where everyone is using a fork and knife. Is there any proof from the books of Deen (e.g. Qur'an, Hadith, Fiqh, etc.) or should we not feel embarrassed and follow the Mubaarak Sunnah wherever we are?

Remaining firm on the Sunnah

Q:

1. There is a person who strictly adheres to the Shariat as much as he can. He is very punctual with salaah, quran recitation, zikr and azkaar and wazifas. This person is the only deobandi in his entire family because of which he is facing a lot of hardships and problems from his parents itself. That person doesn't engages or participates in biddat and unislamic shameless customs of his family because of which he is being scorned and rebuked to the limit. That person is still steadfast and doesn't wants to compromise in any of the sunnah he does but few days ago an Imam of a certain masjid who is an alim of Darul Uloom Deoband (as he claims to be) says that as that person's parents are being offended because of him wearing the sunnat libaas (attire), kurta pyajama, imamah; he should cease adorning it. And he also claims that this sunnat libaas isn't a necessary deal to be steadfast on. The person who is facing hardships from his family is Alhumdulilah has sukoon e qalb inspite of all this but the recent incident of the alim who is separating the identity of a muslim (his attire) from the core of deen has confused him. As this claim of the alim has reached that person's parents they have now become more adamant of their notion that their son is an EXTREMIST. Please enlighten that certain individual with some soothing advises.

2. As that person has been brought up in a very vile environment and also has had corrupted aqedaahs and practices instilled in his life and now
alhumdulilah he is a Hanafi-Deobandi by the virtue of Maulana Ilyas Ghuman damat barkatahum's lectures, he now wants to become an alim in order to study deen and practice upon it wholly as he still fears about having deviant aqeedahs and practices in him. He wants to enroll in Darul Uloom Dewsbury from next year and he will be leaving behind parents who are financially very stable, servants can fetch them groceries and other goods, members of the joint-family can look after them khuda na khasta if they fall ill, will it be permissible for this person to leave behind parents and travel abroad? Will it be permissible for that person who very calmly and respectfully opposes his parents, who doesn't want him to even sport a beard, and the join the madarsa? The person mentioned over here really really craves for gaining ilm and studying the deen just as a traveler craves for his wife he left behind. But the alim says that as your parents detests all of this you should  clear all of this from your mind.

3. That person has protected his gaze throughout his youth and has been away from immodest acts by the Grace of Allah SWT. As he is 20 years old and is being bullied by stray vile thoughts he is finding it difficult to control his gaze and fears he may venture into the pit of activities or acts which incurs Allah's anger and wrath. To remedy this, he is planning to get married by next year and this act of marriage will shatter his family's custom of getting married only by the age of 27-30 years. That person has planned to find a spouse who is an Alimah and introduce her parents and her to his family and proceed with nikah even if they oppose him. That person doesn't want to engage in a secret nikah and he will be announcing and making it known to all of his family members and proceed with the marriage in spite of their opposition. Will it permissible for that youth who wishes to get married solely to protect himself from zina as he is having a very hard time keeping his nafs at bay. Will it be permissible to get married in this way?

Leaving the life of sin and coming onto the way of the Sunnah

Q: Almost in 2011 after completion of my msc degree I had continuos dreams about Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). In those days I was talking to my class fellow because he was interested in me. First night I saw a dream that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) comes to me and asks to construct a building. There are some other people and we are standing in clear water but Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is standing out of water on one side and Shaitan on the other. Shaitan does something to me and my hand gets burnt but Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) comes and reads something and the burnt hand becomes as nothing happened. Then in the evening Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) fights with Shaitan to make me safe. Then after some days I again had a dream that Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is lying on a bed and people are standing near his feet but Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) calls my name to go near him. I alone stand near his arm and he looks very happy from me. Then again I had a dream that I am walking on a very narrow straight path on both sides is a river or lake with moonlight but path is very narrow as I m afraid of water so my right leg slips and gets hurt. I keep walking at the end there is a cave type home in which Hazrat Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) is sitting with his family. He looks at my hurt leg and opens the flesh puts something very white and shiny in it and closes it then calls Hazrat Ayesha (Radiyallahu Anha) and introduces me to her very gently. Then I did istikhara it was good. Was there any ishara in these dreams because I had many others also. I am still confused because I am not a practising Muslim.
