Answer 1

HOW TO BECOME A MUSLIM



All praises be to Allah, the Lord of the universe. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad, His last messenger

The objective of this topic is to correct a false idea spread among those willing to adopt Islam as their faith. Some people are facing difficulties on the basis of their mistaken belief that entering into the Islamic fold requires an announcement from the concerned person in the presence of high ranking scholars or shiekhs or reporting this act to courts of justice or other authorities. It is also thought that the act of accepting Islam, should, as a condition , have a certificate issued by the authorities as an evidence to that effect.

We wish to clarify that the whole matter is very easy and that none of the above mentioned conditions or obligations are required. For Allah; the Almighty, is above all comprehension and knows well the secrets of all hearts. Nevertheless, those who are going to adopt Islam as their religion are advised to register themselves as Muslims with the concerned governmental agency, as this procedure may facilitate for them many matters including the possibility of performing Hajj and Umrah.

Anyone has a real desire to be a Muslim and has full conviction and strong belief that Islam is the true

religion ordained by Allah (SWT) for I all human beings, then, one should ! pronounce the "Shahada"(The testimony

of faith), without further delay. The Holy Qur'an is explicit on this regard as Allah (SWT) has stated.

"Truly, the Religion in the sight of Allah is Islam. ( 3:19 )

In another verse of the Holy Qur'an, Allah (SWT) has stated:

" And whosoever desires a religion other than Islam, Never will it be accepted of him; and in the Hereafter he will be in the ranks of those who have lost. ( 3:85 )

In addition, Islam is the only Religion prevailing over all other religions. Allah (SWT) has stated in the Holy Qur'an;

"And to thee We have sent the Book in truth,(This Qur'an) confirming the scripture that came before it, and a witness over it " (5:48).

Muhammad, the prophet of Allah (Peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), said:

"Islam is based on five pillars: testifying that there is no god worthy to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad

is the messenger of Allah and His servant, performing the prayer, paying the Zakat ( obligatory charity ), fasting the month of Ramadan, and performing Hajj.

The Shahada can be declared as follows:

"ASH-HADU ANLAA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH WA ASH HADU ANNA MUHAMMADAN ABDUHU WA RASUULUH."

The English translation is:

"1 bear witness that there is no deity worthy to be worshipped but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger. "

However, it would not be sufficient for anyone to utter only this testimony orally either in private or in public, but rather , one should believe in it by heart with a firm conviction and unshakable faith. If he is truly sincere and complies with the teachings of Islam in all his life he will find himself a new born person.(or new men).

This will move him to strive more and more to improve his character and draw nearer to perfection. The light of the living faith will fill his heart until he becomes the embodiment of that faith.

What would be next after declaring the testimony of faith ( Shahada) then become a Muslim? He should know the real concept underlying this testimony which means the Oneness of Allah and accept Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), as the last of the Prophets and

meet its requirements. He must behave accordingly, applying this true faith to every thing he speaks or does. What do the words of the "Shahada" signify?

The significant point which every Muslim must know very well is the truth that there is no god (deity) to be worshipped other than Allah, (Glory be Him).He is the only true God, Who Alone deserves to be worshipped, since He is the Giver of life and Sustainer and Nourisher of mankind and all creation with His unlimited bounties. Man must worship Allah, Who Alone is worthy of worship.

The second part of the "Shahada" i.e.," Wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh" means that Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), is the servant and chosen messenger of Allah. No one must have two opinions about this matter. In fact, the Muslim has to obey the commands of the Prophet (pbuh), to believe him in what he has said, to follow his teachings, to avoid what he has forbidden, and to worship Allah Alone according to the message revealed to him.

What is the meaning of worship? It simply means rendering sincere service showing reverence for Allah,. In a deeper shade of meaning, it implies total submission and complete obedience to Allah's Commandments both in utterances and actions of man whether explicit or implicit and whether private or public.

Worship falls into two categories:

1.- Visible (manifest or outward)

2.-Invisible (concealed or inward)

Visible worship includes acts such as uttering the two parts of the "Shahada," performing prayers, giving Zakat (Obligatory charity), observing fast in the month of Ramadan, performing Hajj, recitation of the Holy Qur'an, supplication, adoring Allah by praising Him, purifying our bodies before prayers, etc.

This type of worship is associated with movement of the parts of human body .[actions]

Invisible worship is to believe in Allah, in the Day of Judgement, in the Hereafter, in the Angels, in the Books of Allah, in the Divine Decree of destiny ( that good. and bad are determined by Allah Alone ).

This type of worship does not involve movements of parts of the body but it surely has bearing on one's heart

which subsequently affects his way of life. (Beliefs).

it should be borne in mind that any worship not dedicated to Allah alone will be rejected as one form of polytheism or shirk, which amount to apostasy from the Islamic point of view.

The next step for a devotee (newly reverted to Islam} is to purify himself by taking a bath (total ablution}. He should then resolve to comply with all the principles and rules of Islam in their entirety. He disown all forms of polytheism and false beliefs. He should reject evil and be righteous. Such rejection of evil and being righteous is one of the requisites of the motto of Islam that is, Lailaha Illal Laah.

Allah has stated in the Holy Qur'an:

"....... whoever disbelieves in false deities and believes in Allah, hath grasped the most trustworthy Handhold, that will never break " ( 2:256}

We have to consider that when we declare from our heart that "there is no god (deity} worthy to be worshipped but Allah," it implies on our part love, devotion, faith and obedience to the rules of " Islamic legislations which are legally binding on all Muslims. It is a requirement of "there is no god worthy to be worshipped but Allah," to love for the sake of Allah and to reject for the sake of Allah. This is the firmest anchor of belief , which materializes the meaning of " A L- WALA" and "AL-BARA." It means that a Muslim should love and be loyal to his Muslim brothers. He should as a practice, dissociate himself completely from practices of the unbelievers and refuse to be influenced by them, both in worldly and religious matters.

We conclude with a humble prayer to Allah that may He clean the hearts and souls of those who are genuine seekers of truth and may He bless the community of believers. Ameen.

Answer 2

Well, I can't really tell you that, because I don't know. What I do know is that you are like a lot of other people, who are sick of organized religion. It says in the Bible that organized religion is the work of Satan. True Christianity is a personal relationship with God, and good relations with those around you, not attending a church on Sunday. While finding a good Church where the word of God is preached without modification, and there are people you can share your troubles and victories with is very important in the Christian's life, your Church is secondary to the everyday prayer and worship you need to do on a personal level. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion.

Answer 3

Islam is a great religion or peace. Try going to a mosque and ask someone there and they'll help. Once you become a Muslim and study more about God and read Quran, surely you will find many great things in the Quran and they will help you to earn the points to go to Heaven:) Good luck!
