David & Wilson

Suhail —

David and Wilson were lost in desert...they were dying of thirst when

they came upon an oasis, and there was a Mosque.



David to Wilson:

"Look there is a mosque, lets pretend we are muslims, otherwise we'll

not get any food or water...I am going to call myself 'Ahmad". Willson

refused to change his name and said:

"my name is Wilson and i will never pretend to be other than what I am!"

...

The Imam of mosque recieved both well and asked their names...



David:

i am Ahmad



Wilson:

I am Wilson



Imam turned to his helpers and said:

"bring some food for Willson only"



And then Imam turned towards David and said:

"Ramdan Mubarak Brother Ahmad!"

Clever thinking from Wilson and the Imam. Oh, how i laughed out loud at this! Just a general question.. If you become a Muslim it is compulsory to change your name, or can you leave it the way it is?

LOL! That's quite funny!

 

Hummus, no you don't have to change your name, unless it involves shirk. For example, someone called Seth (Ancient Egyptian god) will have to.
