How would one convert to Islam? What would one have to observe?

Answer 1

1. Say the Shahadah
2. Learn and follow the five basic pillars of Islam
3. Try to go in depth and learn as much as you can about Islam and practice it as devotedly as you can

If you're thinking of reverting, that's great. Good luck......I hope it'll be an easy and satisfying journey.

BTW, you might want to pop by Saudi Arabia for a few years. Living here really helps you appreciate Islam and see it in a different light. Of course, there are many things that are done incorrectly here but still, it is the birthplace of Islam after all.

Revert is the proper term because your reverting back to submission like you where born that is why you never have to be baptized.

You say... I bare witness there is no deity to be worshipped but Allah SWT(The Only God), and his messenger and final prophet is Muhammed Peace be unto him.

Answer 6

To become muslim, you simply must beleive In the angels, heaven, hell, his holy books, all his prophets and most importantly: 'there is no god apart from God, and Muhammad is the last Messenger of God.' By this declaration the believer announces his or her faith in all God's messengers, and the scriptures they brought

Muslims have two major religious observances each year, and corresponding holidays connected with each one:

Ramadan
- a month of daytime fasting each year, which falls during the 9th month of the Islamic calendar

Laylat al-Qadr - the "Night of Power" towards the end of Ramadan, which is when the first verses of the Qur'an were revealed to Muhammad
Eid al-Fitr - "The Festival of Fast-Breaking" which comes at the end of Ramadan

Hajj
- an annual pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia which occurs each year during the 12th month of the Islamic calendar

Day of Arafat - a day when pilgrims gather at the Plain of Arafat to seek God's mercy, and Muslims elsewhere fast for the day
Eid al-Adha - "The Festival of Sacrifice" which comes at the end of the annual pilgrimage
Other than these two major observances and their corresponding celebrations, there are no other universally-observed Islamic holidays.

Some Muslims acknowledge other events from Islamic history, which are considered holidays by some but not all Muslims:
Islamic New Year: 1 Muharram
Ashura: 10 Muharram
Mawlid an-Nabi: 12 Rabia' Awal
Isra' & Mi'raj: 17 Rajab

Answer 8

You would have to study the Qu'ran, (preferably learn Arabic) with a Muslim. After you study, it you take the Shahadah, which is kind of like a pledge stating that you don't worship idols, or humans, just God and God alone. You do this with Muslims, so they are kind of a witness to your conversion.
You will observe the holy days and Months that Muslims observe such as Ramadan. You will refrain from eating pork, and you will pray 5 time a day, also you will have to give to charity, also make your pilgrimage to Mecca, once in your lifetime.

Answer 9

Say the Shahada (Islamic creed) with two Muslim witnesses present, and you are a Muslim.

Shahada - Wikipedia

Answer 10

To become a Muslim one must recite the Shahada, which is the declaration of faith:
"I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) , but Allah, and I bear witness that Mohammad is the messenger of Allah"
In Arabic: Ash-Hadu Anla Elaha illa Allah Wa Ash-Hadu Anna Mohammadan Rasul-Allah.
