We daily pledge allegiance to the flag of United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

The pledge is dialy under taken by millions Muslim adults and children in schools and other places of America.

I don’t know whether we have been ousted from Islam. RajInd Seems to be Mufti may give fatwa in this regard:)

I seldom talk by my own understanding while talking about religion or any other sensitive topic. Plz refer to this fatwa for the topic in question.

What is the ruling on standing when the national anthem is played, or when the flag is saluted?.

                Praise be to Allaah.                    Firstly: 
      Playing or listening to national anthems is haraam. This has      been discussed in the answer to question no.      [5000](http://www.islamqa.com/index.php?ln=eng&QR=5000) and      [20406](http://www.islamqa.com/index.php?ln=eng&QR=20406). It makes no      difference whether what is played is songs or the national anthem or      anything else. 
      Secondly: 
      Standing by way of humility and veneration is not befitting      unless it is done  for Allaah. 
      Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 
      “And stand before Allaah with obedience”
      [al-Baqarah 2:238]. 
      Allaah has said that because of His greatness and majesty,      the greatest of creation (the angels) will stand for Him on the Day of      Resurrection and no one will speak until after Allaah has given him      permission. He says (interpretation of the meaning): 
      “The Day that Ar‑Rooh [Jibreel (Gabriel) or another angel]      and the angels will stand forth in rows, they will not speak except him whom      the Most Gracious (Allaah) allows, and he will speak what is right”
      [al-Naba’ 78:38].  
      The one who claims that there is any created being for whom      one should stand out of respect have given that created being one of the      rights of Allaah. 
      Hence the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon      him) said: “Whoever likes men to stand up for him, let him take his place in      Hell.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2755); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in      Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. That is because this is part of the might and      pride that belongs only to Allaah. 
      See: Tafseer al-Tahreer wa’l-Tanweer by al-Taahir ibn      ‘Ashoor (15/51). 
      The caliph al-Mahdi entered the Mosque of the Messenger of      Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and the people all      stood up for him except Imam Ibn Abi Dhi’b. It was said to him: Stand up;      this is the Ameer al-Mu’mineen. He said: The people should only stand up for      the Lord of the Worlds. 
      Al-Mahdi said: Let him be, for all the hairs of my head have      stood on end. 
      Siyar A’laam al-Nubala’      (7/144). 
      The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked: Is it      permissible to stand to show respect to any national anthem or flag? 
      They replied: 
      It is not permissible for the Muslim to stand out of respect      for any national anthem or flag, rather this is a reprehensible innovation      which was not known at the time of the Messenger of Allaah  (peace and      blessings of Allaah be upon him) or at the time of the Rightly-Guided      Caliphs (may Allaah be pleased with them), and it is contrary to perfect      Tawheed and sincere veneration of Allaah alone. It is also a means that      leads to shirk and is an imitation of the kuffaar in their reprehensible      customs, and following them in their exaggeration about their presidents and      in their ceremonies. The Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon      him) forbade imitating them.  
      And Allaah is the Source of strength; may Allaah send      blessings and peace upon our Prophet Muhammad and his family and companions.      End quote. 
      Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa’imah      (1/235). 
      And Allaah knows best.
