When declaring yourself Muslim for the first time, you make Shahadah (testimony). Here is the pronunciation and the meaning:
"Ash-hadu ana la eelaha il Allah, wa ash-hadu ana Muhamad rasool Allah."
"I testify that there is no god but God (Allah), and I testify that Muhammad was the messenger of God."
It matters not whether you have witnesses to this or not, because God is your Greatest Witness. However it does help to do so in a mosque or something if you plan on making Hajj. The Saudi government requires a statement from your mosque verifying that you are Muslim.
If this is what you have chosen, masha'Allah and may Allah reward you for all you've done. If it's not quite what you've decided, then I hope this has helped and I hope you find all the answers you are searching for.

It can be done between him and God.
Just have firm faith in the basic beliefs of Islam, say the Shahadah, and you are considered Muslim, so long you are not doing anything completely against your faith.
Shahadah is the Islamic creed. In Arabic it means "to testify" or "to bear witness". The Shahadah is the declaration of belief in the oneness of God (Allah in Arabic) and in Prophet Muhammad as his messenger. Recitation of the shahadah is considered one of the Five Pillars of Islam by Sunni Muslims. By sincerely stating the shahadah aloud, preferably in front of two witnesses (though this is NOT required), one is considered to have officially declared oneself a convert to Islam.
Meaning of the Shahadah: "I bear witness that there is no God but Allah; and I bear witness that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah."

1) Make sure you understand that if you ever decide to stop being a Muslim, some Muslims will want to kill you for apostasy.
2) Study Islam.
3) Recite the Shahadah.

No, You don't have to convert in front of a witness its good enough if sincerely do it by saying
"I bear witness that there is no God except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah"
then repeat this same testimony out loud in Arabic as follows:
"Ash hadu anlla ilaha ilallah, wa ash hadu anna Muhammadan rasul ullah"

There's a process, alright. First, you must turn off your brain.
What is it, those 72 black eyed houris, or the 24 boys with liquid brown eyes?
The right to murder your daughters if they don't date people you approve of, or force them to kill themselves?
The right to mutilate those daughters to ensure that they will be faithful wives (I guess that's just in case her parent-approved muslim husband turns out to be a lousy lover, she won't know the difference.)
Or maybe it's the camel urine you're supposed to drink to ensure your continued good health?
Why else would anyone want to worship a moon god?

there are lots of people who have self belief truthfully that the Moon landing became faked, and that i'm getting particularly mad approximately this, because of fact it is one among our maximum mandatory achievements as a rustic. The "evidence" to assist this crackpot theory has been many times debunked, and we would desire to continuously bear in mind the straightforward undeniable fact that if we hadn't certainly landed, the U.S. would have had something to declare approximately it. I additionally do no longer only like the myth that united states of america became based completely by using Christians, and with the reason of founding a Christian united states of america, that's carefully fake. i like your myths although, very solid issues that human beings would desire to comprehend. Its sparkling which you comprehend the means of actuality, study, and study. I applaud you. better of success, -Fox

Process? To deny Christ and become lost would pretty much do it.
Have you ever actually read the Qur'an? Do you know what it actually says and teaches? I read it and I do know. Run away now while you still can.
