Joshua's conversion

People come to Islam in many different ways. Some through reading, some through personal contact. Most converts can name at least one influential person in their journeys to Islam.

Joshua came to Islam through his friends. Men who helped him when everyone else, even his own mother, turned him away.

Joshua's story is fiction, but his situation is not fictitious. I've seen Muslim men rally around one another. I've seen my own sons readily accept and assist those who need help.

At every critical point in Joshua's life, both before his conversion and after, he has someone who is there for him.

Can we say the same for real life?
