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!"

LOL - I like this.
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?
Travellers dnt fast. Get him water!!!
Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Oh but they can fast if they wish to, there's still reward in it for them
Heard this joke yeeaaaaaaars ago just can't remember who by. Still funny
Lets reunite the ummah under one flag LA ILAHA IL ALLAH MUHAMMADUR RASULULLAH
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.
