Take pride in your heritage ; Identify yourself with your own people or group ; Respect your heritage , culture , language and religion etc . ; Appreciate diversity among people .

This hadith is about the importance of being proud and not ashamed of one’s identity. It was narrated by AbuUqbah, who was a client from Persia. He was present at Uhud with the Messenger of Allah when he smote one polytheist and said “Take this from me who is the young Persian”. The Prophet then turned to him and said “Why did you not say Take this from me who is the young Ansari?” This shows that we should be proud to identify ourselves with our own people or group instead of trying to hide it or be ashamed by it. We should take pride in our heritage, culture, language, religion etc., as these are all part of our identity which makes us unique individuals in society.
