When someone accepts Islam we often feel happiness for the person. Once someone is a Muslim however, we often times do not have that same feeling of joy when that person appears to be elevated by God in a more meaningful connection to Him or His Prophet.

In the city of Bursa, the Ulu Camii is famous for its 192 inscriptions that adorn its walls, considered amongst the greatest examples of Islamic calligraphy. At its center, however, lies a fountain which to this day is a great example of the relationship between leadership, responsibility, adherence to Islamic law and the creativity of human expression.
