How can I be A muslim ?

Question

I want to convert to Islam , Any one tell me please where should I go or do ? I am from Uk ...

Answer 1

First, you have to decide whether you are up to killing infidels. That's a tenet of Islam. No getting around that. Second, you have to grow a really ugly beard. I'm not sure that's a tenet but it seems pretty prevalent. Third, you must become a mysogynist. Islam treats women as second-class citizens. Clear?

Answer 2

id find a local mosque and ask there the iman (head teacher) can take it from there

its funny reading all the posts in here about the negative things about islam, the quran (holy book) says not to kill any human beings either if they are muslims are non-muslims and killing urself is a;so forbidden, thats a fact!!
so is it our fault that some radicule people interpited the quaran wrongly and carry out crimes in the name of god, which god would actually encourage killing ???
unlike the bible where it has been changed to meet the current PC people ie women can be priests, gay people also can become priests, marriages to either sex ect..
the quran is unaltered it is the same as it was, no word has been changed, so go ahead and blame us peaceful muslims on being terriosts and rapists and murders, after all doesnt all religions have bad people ?? havnt the USA and uk soldiers been raping children and killing innocent people???
at the end of the day were all the same we belive in someone and bad people are every where but many good people get there blame too

Answer 3

Try to consult Muslim scholars (muftis) or Muslim converts in UK. Try to learned from Ruqayya Warris Maqsood. May Allah lead you the way. Amien...

Answer 4

to convert to islam you simply say and believe that there is No God except Allah and that Mohammad is his Messenger. Once you say this sentence, you automatically become Muslim. From there, you start carrying on with the duties of Islam. You must do what Allah and His messenger tell you to, and stay away from what they tell you to. Islam does not tell you to do anything unless it is good for you. It also does not tell you to stay away from anything unless it is bad for you. You will notice the change in the way you look at things, the minute you become a Muslim.
To become a Muslim, simply say the following words:

Ash hadu alla ilaha illa Allah, wa ash hadu anna Mohammadan abduhu wa rasuluhu.

This means I testify and witness that there is no god worthy of being worshipped other than Allah and that Mohammad is his Messenger. You must say it and believe in it.

but u really should decide to become Muslim after reading, understanding, and being convinced, then u r greatly rewarded for it in this life and the next. And if that decision encourages others to join Islam too, then the reward is doubled: one portion for your own decision (multiplied many times), and an equal portion for the person you have helped guide to God's path with reason and gentle advice. If that person is a family member, the reward multiplies even more, since Islam places a great value on family stability and strengthening marital bonds.

you don’t absolutely have to do it publicly. After all, Islam is, first, about your relationship with your Creator and, second, about your relationship with others. However, it is a good idea to pronounce the Shahadah (testimony of faith) before one or more Muslim witnesses—or even by phone or Internet through some Web sites—because there are some legal ramifications in the case of your death, such as issues of burial and inheritance from you. I hope that does not frighten you, but Muslims must always keep in mind that they can die at any minute. None of us has any guarantee that we will live to see tomorrow. And, of course, if you ever get the chance to make Hajj—which I hope you will some day—you might need some documentation that you are Muslim in order to get a visa.

The salah is what distinguishes a Muslim from a non-Muslim, so it is essential that you learn to perform salah as soon as possible. You may have to change your sleeping habits a bit so that you can get up in time for the Fajr (dawn) Prayer, and it might take some ingenuity to find the time or place to pray at work. But it is so vital for your relationship with Allah.
For some the salah seems like a burden, but it only takes a total of perhaps 45 minutes a day. It is also refreshing—physically and spiritually—so it can actually help you to be better in your work; it should never be thought of as a waste of time.

My last piece of advice to you, brother, is not to let yourself be overwhelmed by all the new things you have to learn as a new Muslim. Be easy on yourself—but not lax. Allah doesn’t expect you to change overnight. But be steady (and slow) in your efforts. Improve yourself gradually. Don’t try to suddenly make too many lifestyle changes at one time; especially don’t throw yourself into doing many extra voluntary acts of worship. Learn the essentials, perform the essentials, and then gradually increase.

god keep u on the right path brother,
and plz if there is any thing u want to understand ,don't hesitate to ask.

The best way to do this is to find a Mosque near you and contact the Imam..Ask him for help and guidance..he will ask you questions and if he don't feel you are ready he will tell you..The Imam can help you with any and all questions...plz contact him and become a Muslim with his help..good luck...(it is VERY GOOD decision) no matter all the negative answers here...

Answer 6

I think you should follow what Gum said in the 3rd answer you got, add to this that you should understand the 5 pillars of Islam : " To witness that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is his prophet " , to learn how to pray , to fast month Ramadan , to do charity , and to do pilgrimage when you can for once in life time if possible , and make sure to do the needed official steps , I advice you to visit the Egyptian Embassy in UK , or search for the Islamic institutions there, there you will know exactly what to do - every little thing has its details , you are welcomed to contact me at [e-mail]

Answer 7

Be sure you know what you are doing, Converting to Islam, is a very big step for a non muslim. there are things to consider before, such as
Being promiscious is frowned upon
Alcohol is not tolerated
Smoking is frowned upon
Eating anything carnivorous is not tolerated, likewise with pork,
Dogs are frowned upon
You conversion will be monitered by the muslim community so anything you do which is considered (Haram) (not allowed) will give you a bad name among fellow muslims.

If you do convert you will be known as a revert among muslims as they believe you are reverting back to the original religion.

Type in AIM forums and discuss with muslims and reverts alike.

Answer 8

Hi there... May God's blessings be upon you... Well, I hope you are 100% sure before you take this step... I mean I hope you have made proper researches etc.. You could contact a good muslim organisation who can help you. And help you revert and carry out your activities as a muslim... Inshallah, when you revert to this beautiful religion, all your previous sins, if any will be wiped away... and you will be as pure as a new born child... and your status will be as high as 9 muslims. Please do find out where you can get dvd's of Dr. Zakhir Naik of Islamic Research Foundation... good speeches and debates will help you get a more clearer picture of Islam.
May Allah help you on this path of righteousness, help you overcome any hurdles, and always help prove yourself to be a better person each day... Ameen..

Answer 9

Don't be so stupid, if you want to change your religion then do so, but make sure your not being brainwashed like many that are going over to being a Muslim with false promises, and if you do then you must follow it fully, can you really pray 5 times a day? can you really give up things like, food, sex, swearing. Think long and hard about it, God wants you to have faith in him, and to follow him, he does NOT want you to be a slave to him by following man made rules
