A Facebook user shared the photo with the caption, "In America, four Hindu people of the same family left Hinduism and adopted Islam, but no one has congratulated them till now! May Allah bless this family".
A photo is going viral on WhatsApp and Facebook with a claim that it is of a Hindu family which converted to Islam in the United States of America.
The photo is of a man, a woman, and two kids, all holding a copy of the Quran. It is being shared with text that reads, "अमेरिका में एक ही परिवार के चार हिंदू लोगो ने हिंदू धर्म छोड कर इस्लाम धर्म अपना लिया लेकिन अभी तक किसी ने भी मुबारकबाद नहीं दी ! अल्लाह इनके परिवार में बरकत अता फरमा"
