Funny and heartwarming conversion story

I think the more correct term is 'reversion' as we are all born in a state of peaceful submission to the will of Allah i.e. in a state of Islam. Then our families take over and shape us in their molds. It must be very very difficult to break out. Those born into Muslim families often don't realize it as they may take their faith for granted. Treasure it and nurture it - never take it for granted.

See the peace on his face and his obvious happiness, mashaAllah.

Are you a friend?

How do we treat our friends?
We contact them often and we miss them if we are not in touch
We plan our time with them - and we get together without any plan too
We go over to their place when they call us - and even when they don't
We respond to them when they communicate with us
We take care not to offend them
We go out of our way to apologize to them if we hurt them in any way
We give them first preference over others
We give to them whatever they ask for - and more
We are nice to their family and friends too simply because they are associated with our friend
We dislike those who are not liked by our friend
We fight those who bad mouth our friend
We grant them favors and in fact go out of our way to oblige them
We listen to their advise and often accept it even if we don't like it
We trust them even with our lives
We may even give our lives for them
... and we have high expectations from them too and they live up to them.

Now let us ask ourselves:
Are we friends of Allah?
