May Allaah save me and you for being famous for wrong reasons.
Even to be famous for good reasons are many times dangerous for the slave, craving to be famous at all cost may make one lands in trouble.
But if you so wish to be famous at any cost, then you must be ready to carry out the untold.
The principle is...

Khaalif turaa!
Oppose the normal course, you will become known.
May Allaah save me and you from that.
It may be in degrees, if you need local recognition, do a local abnormality e.g, walk backwards from home to a nearby shop or to your workplace, you will become the talk of the neighbourhood for the day, and for many days to follow. The tag of insanity may however not elude you for the rest of your life.
So do you want to be famous still?
A little above that, you can go to the king's palace, walk in, give the 'stupid' king a dirty slap, remove his crown, throw him down from the stool and sit over. Okay, you have just walked into a hall of fame in the town. You will remain forever in the annals of the town. Meanwhile, you may get transferred from the police station to an asylum home, something must be definitely wrong with you.
And for a national recognition, call for a revolutionThen, try to assassinate the Commander-in-chief, try to block the path of the Chief of Army Staff, try to...try to...try to...
You will be famous but posthumously. You will be dead except Allaah wills.
If your craving is in the religious circles, then you have a lot of options: support the Ikhwaanis (I can see thumbs up), call for amalgamation of Sufis and Salafis, praise the Ayatollahs, start abusing and cursing the Saudi scholars, start visiting the church to frolic the pastors...
Say there is no problem with Salatul Faatih...!
Then you are becoming famous, invitations to heretical places will follow in succession, you will travel around the world, the UN will give you awards...
But your Hereafter is at stake.
Do you still want to be famous?
So...
لا تخال٠Ùلن ترى
Don't oppose the norms, you will not be noticed.
But Allaah will know you and He will reward you in manifolds.
O Allaah forgive me.
