Many non Muslims fail to understand us when we tell them this: that for us Islam is not just a part of our life it is actually how we lead our lives. It's our way of life. Only when one becomes a Muslim, and reads into Islam, studies the Quran and hadiths etc will they come to realize what we mean. And yes one who is a Muslim by choice and with knowledge is the one who has tasted the sweetness of faith. Such a person will, in hardship and in ease, always know the beauty of Islam! This is what I want my daughter to know and feel, and not be the kind of kid who only follows the faith when mom and dad are around!
