Hi there,

It is a very easy and simple process to become a Muslim. What you have to do is; say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:

I testify “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.

These Arabic words mean:, "There is no god but Allah, [and] Muhammad is the messenger of Allah".

Steps To Become a Muslim:

1. Go to the nearby Mosque or Islamic research center.

2. Meet  Imam or any Islamic scholar there.

3. Say about your self that you want to become a Muslim

4. Say Shahada and now you are a Muslim but

5. Learn more about the teachings of Islam.

There is no official place that you have to register yourself for entering into Islam, you can simply go to the nearest mosque and ask the Imam of the mosque to help you become Muslim.

He will make you recite some words in Arabic & your local language, called the shahadah (the testimony) and once done, you will have become a Muslim. 

The Arabic part will sound like this:

Ašhadu an la ilaha illa-llaha, wa ašhadu anna Muhammadun Aabduhu wa rasuluh.

The translation of which is:

I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah's servant and His Messenger

Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process.  All that a person has to do is to say a sentence called the Testimony of Faith (Shahada), which is pronounced as:

I testify “La ilaha illa Allah, Muhammad rasoolu Allah.

These Arabic words mean, “There is no true god (deity) but God (Allah), and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.”  Once a person says the Testimony of Faith (Shahada) with conviction and understanding its meaning, then he/she has become a Muslim. 

The first part, “There is no true deity but God,” means that none has the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither partner nor son.  The second part means that Muhammad was a true Prophet sent by God to humankind.

To be a Muslim, one should also:

  • Believe that the Quran is the literal word of Allah (God), revealed by Him.
  • Believe that the Judgment Day (Resurrection Day) is true and will come.
  • Believe in the prophets that God sent and the books He revealed, and in His angels.
  • Accept Islam as his/her religion.
  • Not worship anything nor anyone except God.
PEACE!
