The greatest gift I can give to a non-Muslim is Islam. But, I'm still working on that. Meanwhile, the greatest gift I can give to a Muslim is also Islam and in this case it really is Islam. For the dear friend grew up without the precious gift so many of us take for granted.
Its so wonderful seeing her face light up with everything new I tell her. I cherish the mosque visits I take her to. We like exchanging books and I can really appreciate how thankful she is. She keeps texting me with questions but I've warned her not to delve into fiqh questions for that area is too precious and precise for me to advice her on. I've directed her to someone much more knowledgable though.
Her steps, at first, were small and full of hesitation. But they eventually gained momentum and conviction. She loves this journey she is on and I love accompanying my friend. After all, I did say this was the greatest gift I could grant and I am more than happy than travelling with my friend at this time of exploration.
She thanks Allah everyday, I can feel it. Who wouldn't, knowing they've been granted Islam again. So many years without it - its like a clear canvas again. And she can paint on it with much more vigour than many Muslims, unfortunately.
Then I should thank Allah for giving me this opportunity and allowing me to help this dear friend. Things really do work out well in the end!
