Andalus's POV
Today is Friday and Fridays for Muslims are Eid days. It is when our father Adam ( The first prophet ) was born and died. And this Friday is going to be special because Ms.Helen or let us stick to one name, Aya is going to convert from Christianity to Islam.
I woke up early today and had my breakfast, then helped my mother in cleaning the house and preparing the lunch and after that had a shower. My father, my mother, my brothers, and I went to the mosque. My dad and my brothers went to the front side and my mother and I went to the back side. We found Lisa, Aya, and Nora sitting in the third row and so we walked towards them and greeted them and then walked to the forth row and sat behind them.
"Omg I am so happy Aya." Lisa said covering her mouth with excitement "May I congratulate you now?" she continued.
"Calm down Lisa, we are in the Masjid (Mosque)" Aya whispered to her "you have to wait like the others" she continued, smiling.
"When will you convert?" I asked Aya while I was holding the Quran.
"After Jummu'a prayers." Aya said "I'm nervous and scared." she continued.
"Don't be, you are finally going to be one of us and this Umma will be so happy to have you." Nora said squeezing her cheeks "you got beautiful chubby cheeks out there" she continued laughing.
"And all of your sins are going to be removed inshallah." I said, "remember that Allah is always forgiving and remember that nobody's perfect, but that doesn't mean that you have to go out of limits." I continued, explaining.
"Here we go again, she won't stop." Lisa said rolling her eyes and my mother laughed.
"Do you guys know that this finger is going to be taken so soon?" my mother said, holding my right hand, pointing at my finger.
The three of them stared at me and their eyes were wide open. A combination of fog, tree leaves, and wood. I frowned at them.
"Stop staring like that." I muttered.
"Omg are you going to ... get married?" Aya said the last two words very slowly.
"Yes." I answered ... very slowly, too.
"Omg omg omg, I am going to jump!" Lisa said excitedly "bah, Astaghfiru'Allah" she continued after realizing that we were in the mosque.
"Mom ... now they won't stop talking." I said in annoyance.
"She wanted to tell you guys herself" mom said laughing, "I guess I couldn't bear not telling you because I was so excited." mom continued, joyfully.
"Today is a special day SobhanAllah, it is Friday, and Aya is going to be Muslim and also Andalus got engaged." Norah said tapping my shoulder "couldn't be happier." she continued.
I flushed tomato red while smiling at the last statement.
"Tell us who's he? How does he look like?" Aya asked.
"Shhh, Jummua's lecture is about to start, will tell you later." I said, hissing.
Today's lecture was about being a good Muslim in the society. How to be kind with people and how to respect them, how to help anyone that is in need and much more. And the most important thing is how to keep Allah in your mind and your heart, always. Because this will make you act in the righteous way. Moments later after we finished praying Jummu'a the Imam started talking about Islam and its necessity.
"So, today we've got a person who chose Islam as religion, who found out that Islam is the right religion and Allah SWT is the one God and only" the Imam started talking and then Aya stood up and walked towards him.
