Once there was an Arab who lived in a town. He was a rich man and had many friends. They used to play chess every day in the afternoon. Unluckily, the Arab did not believe in God. His friends often asked him to give up his disbelief in God.
But he did not agree. One day, as the friends were playing chess, it began to rain very heavily. Streets turned into small streams and the roof of the Arab’s room began to leak. The Arab got afraid and his hands went up in prayer. From that day on, he became a true believer in God.
