It's no secret or surprise that identical twins are, in fact, identical.
Still, one of my best friends is a twin, and it amazes me sometimes to look at him and his twin brother and really realize how alike they look.
Even though we know it's natural, it can be a little disconcerting sometimes when we can't tell two twins apart.
One set of twins, Ahmed and Abdullah, look so much alike that some strangers are convinced they aren't twins at all — instead, they think it's just one person pretending to have a brother.
When Ahmed posted some pictures of him and Abdullah on Twitter to celebrate their birthday, people were convinced Ahmed had just posted himself twice. But he was ready to prove them wrong.

To honor their 19th birthday, Ahmed posted a series of pictures of himself and his twin brother Abdullah on Twitter.
Immediately, people were surprised by how alike the twin brothers looked.
Of course, identical twins look alike by definition — but Ahmed and Abdullah are virtually indistinguishable.
Online, people couldn't believe that Ahmed and Abdullah are actually different people.
Some people were positive that Ahmed and Abdullah were actually just the same person.
Strangers even started to nitpick their appearances, trying to find some difference between the two young men.
Ahmed was ready to prove that he and Abdullah are, in fact, two separate people.
And he has plenty of baby pictures of the both of them handy to prove his point.
Even their sister looks like she could be their triplet in this picture!
I know a mother's love is stronger than almost anything, but I bet even she gets Ahmed and Abdullah mixed up sometimes!
Have you ever seen twins that look this identical? This is definitely a first for me!
