Jeff's POV

I was driving home when a name popped in my head and I decided to give Aliyah a call to let her know about it. I dialed her number and she picked after three rings.

Salam alaikum, I said

Walaikum salam, she said at the other end and she sounds happy

It's about the name, I said

Ok, tell me, she said excitedly

You're excited, aren't you? I asked

Yes, I'm , replied Aliyah

The name is Jamal, I said

Masha Allah, nice name, do you know the meaning of the name? Asked Aliyah

Yes, Jamal means beauty, I replied

Masha Allah, she said

JazakAllah khairan for everything you've done for me, I'll forever be grateful, I said excitedly

Wa'iyyakum, she replied

Thanks once again, I said

Ok, I need to go. See ya later, she said

Allah Hafiz, i said

Allah Hafiz, she replied

I speed up coz it's late already. I didn't go home directly after I left the masjid. I went to school to study before going home. I got home and I parked the car in the garage. I headed to the front and I opened the door, I met my family chatting in the living room.

Salam alaikum, I greeted. With everyone's eyes widened

Walaikum salam, they all replied

What's with this your greeting this evening? Asked dad

Nothing, just excited, I replied

What happened? Asked mum

Lemme go and freshen up and I'm gonna gist you guys, I said heading upstairs

Hurry Jeff, I can't wait, said Shumayll

Excuse me, my name is Jamal not Jeff, I said smiling

Shumayll's POV

I was confused when Jeff said his name isn't Jeff but Jamal. Or is he not Jeff, my brother?

Did I hear him right? Asked dad

I'm confused, said mum

Shumayll, what's going on? Asked dad

Dad, I don't know, I'm flabbergasted, I replied

Let's wait for him, said mum

After thirty minutes of waiting for Jeff, he came back and he sat beside me.

Jeff, what happened? Questioned dad

We need an answer right now, said mum

Ok, I'm gonna explain, he said

We're all said, I said

I converted to Islam this evening, he said joyously

What? Yelled dad and mum

I've always wanted to convert but it's just that I'm waiting for the right time to have a full knowledge about the religion and today is the right time and day. I feel like a baby who has just been conceived a moment ago, Explained jeff
