Answer 1

cut your tounge cause now on you not going to have no say.

Answer 2

There are only a few things that you have to do. Other than those you are free. And for entering Islam you only have to say and admit from your heart that:

'There is only ONE God and Muhammed was the messenger of God'.

Then there are other things which you will learn. There is a great stress on the rights of people. And there are the five pillars of Islam which are:

1. Prayer
2. Zakat (it is a small amount of money that you pay in the name of God every year)
3. Fasting for a month
4. Pilgrammage to Mecca
5. And most important of all, belief in ONE God.

But even if you don't follow the practices religeously, you will still be a muslim, so long as you accept the basic principles and beliefs. Many things are optional.

Answer 3

Sister, nothing out of blue has to be done.
You believe in ONE God and ONE God only.
You do not associate anyone else with the God.
You Believe that Moses, David, Jesus, Muhammed (to name few here) are the prophets of God.
You are responsible for your goods and bads. Noone shares your sins nor you share anyone else's.

I am open to answer each and every question you have about Islam. To the people who are saying Islam mistreats women are utterly wrong and you will find this out in no time.

P.S
If you want to convert because of your boyfriend, I would suggest not to do that, you are perfect just the way you are, this should be done for the God, not for another human. If he or his family can not accept you for what you are now, chances are they will still do the same when you'll convert. I have a feeling, he is using this as an excuse to not marry you.
If he is Muslim, he should know very well that it's the MAN and the WOMAN who should be the ones to pick their partners and their parents should accept it.

Answer 4

well if u r really serious then listen.
islam means submission and obedience to one god.

first of all u need to b strong as u will have to face a lot of obstacles and challenges along the way. u must b havin a family who may not like this. but if u still want to move forward then, here.

people might scare u saying that it is the worst religion or muslims are terrorists, but dont heed them.

may Allah give u courage.
first take a nice bath with clean clothes and go to a mosque, meet the imaam there.

to b a muslim u must 1st agree to this that
"there is no god but allah and muhammed is his messenger"

allah is not a name of a mortal but it means supreme being.
once u have said that u r now a muslim. the rest the imaam will direct u.

learn the quran, understand it and try to follow it wif ur heart.

ill give u a hadith for xample. a man met muhammed(pbuh) and told him he wanted to bcom a muslim but on 1 condition that Allah 4gave all his past sins. muhammed(pbuh) replied that dont u know brother that once u have become a muslim then all ur past mistakes are forgiven by Allah. for Allah is Most Merciful, Most Kind.

if u r really serious then move ahead. even if u still feel the urge then go ahead and dont worry. there will b problems initially, but Allah will take care of u, Inshallah(means god willing).

and if u become a muslim lemme knw. welcome sista. may Allah always bless u.

Answer 5

I cant give you advice on this, as I do not believe that someone should abandon their own religion to become married with someone from another religion. You need to stay true to yourself! I too am in love with a Muslim and he loves me too, He would never ask me to become Muslim, although Im sure he would love me to be, just as I would be happy to have him be a christian, but you have to realize that every one has their own way to God, and you need to follow whatever religion is in your heart, not just for a man. My boyfriends family would not really approve of us either but My boyfriend knows that he can not force me to be another religion... its not fair . If you have a true relationship with God is what matters. If you cannot continue your relationship with God the way you are happy with , then the marraige would not be worth it.
Good luck and be blessed

Answer 6

first of all as our friends said u should believe in God (if u don't ) and then u should educate yourself about Islam (I mean learn about it and it's beliefs ) cuz if u don't do these 2, it's just a symbolic kind of becoming a Muslim for u. and after doing all these things u should say "ashhado an la ilaha illallah va ashhado ana mohammadan rasoorollah" (as others told u the meaning) and say "la ilaha illallah" (that mean there's no GOD except Allah" and then u should go to a mosque and say ur prayer to God and then u r welcomed to our world of Islam :)

BUT, i recommend u not to liston to those rubbish things peeps have written for u, being a Muslim doesn't mean being an slave (who the hell wud think like that, huh?) it's just about being with God and loving him and learning how to LIVE. unlike what they say even in Quran (our holy book) men and women r exactly the same. and if u don't believe my words it's the best for u to go and read something about it, not by asking people, cuz they can just tell u their own opinion about it and not the exact true things (as what everyone and even me has done here).
wish u luck & happiness with ur future husband :)

Answer 7

If you just want to become a Muslim for getting married and don't want to practice it ,you only have to say the shahadatien,which is you say their is no god but Allah and Mohamed is his prophet,but if you want to practice it,well you have to put on a scarf and wear long sleeves and pray 5 times a day(the prayers take only15 min if you even take too long)and of course fast in Ramadan,

Answer 8

you have to be muslim in your heart, and not just to marry some one you love.

Simply by saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah,” one converts to Islam and becomes a Muslim . This saying means “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah),1 and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.” The first part, “There is no true god but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son. To be a Muslim, one should also:


-Believe that the Holy Quran is the literal word of God, revealed by Him.

- Believe that the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection) is true and will come, as God promised in the Quran.

- Accept Islam as his or her religion.

- Not worship anything nor anyone except God.

The Prophet Muhammad said: {God is more joyful at the repentance of someone when he turns to Him in repentance than one of you would be if he were riding his camel in the wilderness, and it runs away from him, carrying his food and drink, so that he loses all hope of getting it back. He comes to a tree and lies down in its shade (awaiting death), for he has lost all hope of finding his camel. Then, while he is in that state (of desperation), suddenly it is there before him! So he seizes its halter and cries out from the depth of his joy, “O God, You are my servant and I am Your Lord!” His mistake comes from the intensity of his joy.}2

Answer 9

Answer 10

You should speak to him first, and then go with him to his religious leaders.

I am sick of hearing that the religion is not the same as the culture, in many instances, they effectively MEAN the same thing.

You could say that if you join a religion, you effectively join the culture at the same time, and if that is the case, then what is the practical difference between the two?

Answer 11

You should NEVER change what your beliefs are for your boyfriend, he should love you unconditionally. If he is a real man and he really loves you, he will respect what hes parents say, but do what his heart feels is right. And if being with you for the rest of his life is what he really wants it really doesn't matter what religion you are. BUT... make sure you agree on what religion you are going to bring your children up in. And if you have studied his religion and you feel it is right for you and you both agree on Muslim then so be it. But if it doesn't feel right for you then just remember you have that right in this Country.
