Not feeling embarrassed to follow the Sunnah

Answered by 

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. Qurโ€™an, Hadith, Fiqh, etc.) or should we not feel embarrassed and follow the Mubaarak Sunnah wherever we are?

Bismillaah

A: Why should you feel embarrassed to follow the Sunnah when the kuffaar and their likes do not feel embarrassed to go against the Sunnah?

And Allah Taโ€™ala (ุงู„ู„ู‡ ุชุนุงู„ู‰) knows best.
