Recently, an acquaintance who is interested in converting to Islam contacted me and asked how she should go about it. I know that it is not necessary to have a Muslim witness, and that one must simply make a declaration of their faith, and that Allah need be the only witness, but she would like to take instruction in Islam before she makes her final decision. Can she just go to the local mosque? Must she speak to an Imam, or can she receive counsel from anyone there? Also, should she call and make an appointment, or can she just show up unannounced? Please let me know, as she is a bit timid and would really like my help on this, but I don't know how to advise her, as while I am half Arab, I am a Christian.
Thank you for your time.
