I came across this article, because my husband is working as a robotic engineer here in Paris and I wanted to find useful tips for him.
In France, praying in public is forbidden by the law. His french supervisors are not open to Islam, praying at work or not shaking hands is a form of radicalism for them.
He was able to pray secretely in the vacation time when there weren’t many workers.
Any tips for this case? BarakAllahu feekum

This usually works for me:
If a man puts his hands out to shake yours, put your hand on your chest as a gesture, and say something along the lines of: “sorry, I won’t shake your hand, but it’s really nice to meet you” (smile) and hopefully he will copy the gesture and place his hand on his chest as well.

This makes it less awkward as usually when you refuse a handshake, their hand just falls awkwardly limp to their side.

I felt the above tips are very useful. I work in a office where there are only 2 muslim employees along with me. My manager and seniors under whom i work are non- muslims and the always show bias and treat me very badly. Job is very important for me and i cant switch my job immediately. So can any body give me some tips how to handle such situations.
Jazakallahkaizan

firstly, I have never heard anyone in the west claim that being nude is a sign of confidence. Secondly, you did no wrong by not lowering your gaze. Lowering the gaze refers to not lustfully looking at the opposite sex. That’s it.

That’s so stupid. Not making eye contact is necessary for a conversation. When the Quran says to lower the gaze it means not to look lustfully. So please stop spreading false information.

Neither the Prophet nor Allah has said to not look at non-mehrams. What they have both said is to lower the gaze, and tafseer tells us that this refers to not lustfully looking at the opposite sex. That’s it.
