You just have to accept allah as your personal lord and saviour and you will testify that they is no god but allah before a group of muslim faithfuls and you will undergo certain routines before you become formally accepted as a muslim. ¿ % 1 Like 1 Share |

That's much more simple than the English alphabet, ABC... Its good it's a personal decision based on conviction. So to do that, t you have to believe and testify to the oneness of Allah - the Islamic monotheism. You can meet any Muslim cleric to lead you It's about one line sentence. Other things is for you to be ready to live your life in accordance with the teachings of Islam. Welcome to the fold of Islam and kindly quote this with your WhatsApp number for further enquiry 2 Likes |

Kingscee: Why putting a terrorist in the post because I mentioned migrating to Islam? What is the difference between the Islam terrorist and the ritual killing pastors. There are good and bad Muslim as well as good and bad Christians. But from my observation so far, the good Muslim in general practice true love for one another far more than both the good and bad Christian. |

thesicilian: I doubt you are correct. Maybe that is just your own perspective and understanding. If you were born into a Muslim family, I wonder what anyone would tell you to make you convert? But because you were born a Christian you now think your religion is the best. The truth is there is only one God who knows no religion. You can worship him through any form of religion you choose provided you acknowledge he is the Supreme. 3 Likes |

DardyGentle: You are highly welcomed. Islam does not advocate killing; in most religions, killing is a major sin. Extreme practices such as these are not advised. Islam does have a dress code that places an emphasis on modesty, which all Muslims are required to follow. The first and foremost rule of being a Muslim is believing in the one and only Allah. Allah is the only God, the only Creator and the Almighty. He is the only one you should be doing your good deeds for and the only who shall be worshipped. There should be nothing stood beside His place. Allah's messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the messenger and the last Prophet who came down to Earth, and there will never be any prophets after him. Islam considers itself to be the natural way of all creation. That is, Islam is the original, perfect state of being. So, when a person "converts" to Islam, he/she is actually reverting to their own original nature. Islam considers anyone who follows its teachings to be a Muslim, regardless of when or where she or he lived. For instance, Islam believes that Jesus was a Muslim, though he lived hundreds of years before modern Islam's historical founding. Allah, the Arabic word for God, refers to the same God worshiped by Christians and Jews (aka the "Abrahamic" God). Thus, Muslims revere the prophets of Christianity and Judaism (including Jesus, Moses, David, Elijah, etc.) and consider the Bible and Torah to be divinely inspired, but modified over time, and therefore, unreliable. The Qur'an is God's final scripture that affirms the truth in the previous scriptures and rectifies any falsehoods or corruptions. Talk with an Imam. Imams are Islamic religious scholars who conduct religious services inside and outside the mosque (Masjid). Imams are chosen for their knowledge of Islamic scripture and their good character. A good Imam will be able to provide you with advice when deciding whether you're ready to devote yourself to Islam. Say the Shahada. If you're absolutely sure you want to become a Muslim and fully submit to the will of Allah, all you need to do is recite the Shahada, a short oral declaration of faith. Be aware that once you have said the Shahada, you are committed to following Islam for life. The words of the Shahada are "Ash-hadu anla elaha illa-Allah wa ash-hadu anna Mhammadur rasul-Allah", which translates to "I testify that there is no other god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is Allah's messenger."[6][7] By saying the Shahada, you become a Muslim. Understand and embody the five pillars of Islam. Islam's Five Pillars are obligatory actions that Muslims must take. They represent the core of pious Islamic life. The Five Pillars are: 1. Testimony of Faith (Shahada). You make this when you become a Muslim by declaring that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is His messenger. 2. Performance the five daily prayers (Salah). Prayers are made throughout the day, five times, in the direction of the holy city of Mecca. 3. Fasting during the month of Ramadan (Sawm), if able. Ramadan is a holy month marked by fasting and additional good deeds such as prayer and charity. 4. Giving 2.5% of your savings to the poor (Zakat). It is a personal responsibility of Muslims to help those less fortunate. 5. Making a pilgrimage to Mecca (Hajj). Those who are able are required to make the journey to Mecca at least once. Also, Believe in the six articles of Faith. Muslims have faith in Allah and his divine order even though it cannot be perceived by human senses. The six articles of faith mandate that Muslims must believe in: 1. Allah (God). God is the creator of the universe and the only being worthy of worship. 2. His angels. Angels are the unquestioning servants of God's divine will. 3. His revealed scripture. The Quran is the perfect will of God as revealed to Muhammad by through the angel Gabriel (Christian and Jewish scripture is also considered holy, they were given from Allah but some or more of the content has already been changed). 4. His Messengers. God sent Prophets (including Jesus, Abraham, and others) to preach his word on earth. 5. The Day of Judgement. God will eventually raise all life for judgement at a time known only to him. 6. Fate. God has ordained all things—nothing occurs without his will or pre-knowledge. 1 Like |

I tell you sir a lot of people would have converted to islam if not for some extremist groups spoiling the image of the religion not following the true teaching of Allah and quran which other religions now use to categorize all Muslims. I am a Muslim and not a terrorist I am happy u were able to see beyond the facade I tell you sir u are on the right path. I tell you shaytan is already ruling among mankind its just that most people are expecting him to do evil when his true aim is only to divert people from worshipping the true God by all means possible even making some things attractive and also performing the role of God to some of its followers without them even knowing. Allah is truly the greatest. Some people even call Muslim head slammers I tell you Abraham, david, moses, Jesus, muhammed all prayed the same way if those prophet can do it who are we not to. Obviously there are good and bad Muslims too same in every religion so let's strieve to be of the good ones and follow only what Allah and the prophet teaches us cos we can't trust anyone. Allah SWT said: قَالَ رَبِّ بِمَآ أَغْوَيْتَنِى لَأُزَيِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ فِى الْأَرْضِ وَلَأُغْوِيَنَّهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ "[Iblees] said, My Lord, because You have put me in error, I will surely make [disobedience] attractive to them on earth, and I will mislead them all" (QS. Al-Hijr 15: Verse 39) إِلَّا عِبَادَكَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُخْلَصِينَ "Except, among them, Your chosen servants." (QS. Al-Hijr 15: Verse 40) إِنَّ عِبَادِى لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطٰنٌ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّبَعَكَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ "Indeed, My servants - no authority will you have over them, except those who follow you of the deviators."

DardyGentle: Muslim leaders have led their followers into believing things not stated in the Koran. They ignore the Koran and establish their own doctrine. They even go as far as hold on to positions that are even contrary to the Koran. So, I hope your decision will be based on TRUE information about ISLAM and not on what you think or are told a Moslem is. Mohamed and Islam never GUARANTEED you paradise. Even Mohamed was not sure where he will end up. Islam claims to be monotheistic but you cannot believe in Allah ALONE and be a Moslem. You must also believe in Mohamed. You must reverence a black stone in Mecca. The Koran says a Moslem should not be friends with non-moslems. The moral standards of ISLAM does not require you to be truthful to others. In short, you can live a life of lies. You are to FIGHT non-moslems. And many more. If the above fits with your desire then go ahead. But carry out a THOROUGH information check about ISLAM and the KORAN not what you imagine it is so that you are clear on what you're doing. |

haekymbahd:Moslems have a way of misleadingly depicting Mohamed in good light even though it runs CONTRARY to Islamic sources presentation of him. For example, Moslem apologists and followers claim that it was the Meccans and other communities who first attacked or even tried unsuccessfully to kill Mohamed. This is so presented in order to justify the claim that Allah and Mohamed were justified in getting back at or retaliating against such peoples. Unfortunately, such claim is NOT SUPPORTED by documented Islamic history. Did people object to Mohamed’s message and attitude? Yes. But any claim that these other peoples were the first to antagonise and fight Mohamed is simply not true. Sam Shamoun of answering-Islam.org quoting from The Kitāb aṭ-ṭabaqāt al-kabīr (Arabic) (translation: The Book of the Major Classes), a compendium of biographical information about famous Islamic personalities covering the lives of Mohamed, his Companions and Helpers, including those who fought at the Battle of Badr as a special class, and of the following generation, the Followers, who received their traditions from the Companions, noted this: “Ibn Humayd- Salamah- Ibn Ishaq: The Messenger of God proclaimed God’s message openly and declared Islam publicly to his tribesmen. When he did so, they did not withdraw from him or reject him in anyway, as far as I had heard, UNTIL he spoke of their gods and denounced them. When he did this, they took exception to it and united in opposition and hostility to him, except for those of them whom God had protected from error by means of Islam. The latter were few in number and practiced their faith in secret. His uncle Abu Talib was friendly to him, however, and protected him and shielded him from them. The Messenger of God continued to do God’s work and to proclaim his message, undeterred by anything. When Quraysh saw that he would not give them any satisfaction, they objected to his departing from their ways and denouncing their gods, and seeing that Abu Talib protected him, shielded him from harm, and would not hand him over to them, a number of the nobles of Quraysh, consisting of such men as ‘Utbah b. Rabi‘ah, Shaybah b. Rabi‘ah, Abu al-Bakhtari b. Hisham, al-Aswad b. al-Muttalib, al-Walid b. al-Mughirah, Abu Jahl b. Hisham, al-‘As b. Wa’il and Nubayh and Munabbih, the sons of al-Hajjaj, went to Abu Talib and said, "Abu Talib, your nephew has reviled our gods, denounced our religion, derided our traditional values and told us that our forefathers were misguided. Either curb his attacks on us or give us a free hand to deal with him, for you are just as opposed to him as we are, and we will deal with him for you." Abu Talib gave them a mild answer and declined courteously, and they left him. The Messenger of God continued as before, proclaiming the faith of God and summoning people to it. So, at first, it was not the Meccans who attacked Mohamed and his followers, but it was Mohamed who antagonized the people of Mecca by ridiculing and insulting their gods. You may wish to see the article and check out other issues like the unprovoked raiding of the caravans by Mohamed and his other atrocities which would be considered war crime today. The bottom line is that what Islam’s sources say about Mohamed and Islamic history is being whitewashed by you Moslems today. Maybe you wish your prophet were who he was not and are now using that picture in your heads to explain him today. |

sagenaija:i am sure you are a christain you came here to post false information from wrong\unreliable source even if it was true have you forgotten the history of your religion do I need to start quoting bible verses. i am not ready for augument with you cos thats what you want. If you live in a glass house don't throw stones. The truth is for every prophet that was sent they had challenges and people tried to kill most if not all of them for preaching a doctrine different from theirs (One God). Even Pharaoh and his servant tried to kill moses and his followers and God drowned them in red sea nobody talked about that. Even the most calm of them all Jesus could not finish his mission which lasted for 3yrs hence the shortest he said "he still has a lot to say but ye cannot bear them now" before they tried to nail him on the cross. Now Allah sent Muhammad the last prophet he was obviously going to suffer the same fate as the previous prophets his mission was even more difficult cos he was from the Arab not a jew most have not heared about Torah or Gospel before and also the previous prophet. Jesus was a Jew I believe his mission was even a bit easier than Muhammad'sdue to his reference to moses what did they do to him. Muhammad had to go against 360 Arab gods at the time hence they attempted to kill him then Allah directed him on how to deal with the situation I am sure if he were to use his own instinct and might he wouldn't survive it. They attempted to kill him and he defended himself not by his power or might but because he had the support of Allah. They said he establish islam by violence if he didn't preach and people saw signs and sence in it how will he have gathered a lot of followers based on violence (one man). Now for Shekau the leader of boko haram who claim to follow the teaching of Allah is he in a similar situation to Muhammad who is after him yo kill him no one he is even the one oppressing. Muhammad fought because he was attacked and shekau his fellow likes are only tarnish the lagacy of the great prophet. Imagine shekau being a prophet today with his violence how many people will follow him he cant convince the muslims not to talk of people of other religion it shows Muhammad didn't use this strategy but he is hiding under the umbrella of islam to do his evil. If shekau was the prophet I am sure the op of this would not even consider joining Islam. People even Christians now drag muhammad they forgot the time of Noah, moses and previous prophet they call it old testament they expect all prophet to be like Jesus whom they didn't allow to complete his mission. The holy Quran talk about matters of begining, .past, present, future and the last day(judgement day). There were some instructions given to Muhammad that applies to the situation the Muslims were in at the time. Some ignorant people just mumble everything together. It was not revealed at once it was an accumulation of revelations from Allah. Allah SWT said: وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلٰهًا ءَاخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِى حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ ۚ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا "and [those] who do not call on another god along with God, nor slay the soul which God has forbidden, that it be slain, except with due cause, and who do not commit fornication — for whoever does that, namely, [whoever does] one of these three things, shall meet with retribution;" (QS. Al-Furqaan 25: Verse 68) * Via Qur'an English http://quran-en.com U dont have to hate prophet Muhammad (S.A.W )because you are not a Muslim I am pretty sure he was misunderstood. Please face your religion let me face mine. For you is your religion for me is mine if some people are preaching hatred must we be part of them. I believe in One God (Allah) and all his prophet from Adam, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Ishmael, Jacob, to moses, Jesus and lastly Muhammad they all believed in one God. Hear yourself how can one man had started war against Meccans? how was he given birth to? what made him leave his place of birth? what about his followers how did he gather them he didn't preach to them what was the reaction of unbelievers? why did the sahabas follow him? for some one preaching a foreign doctrine did he get huge followers all at once? did they outnumber the early muslims in battle field? how was he able to survive u won't talk about all that? Maybe u want Muhammad to die for the sins of the world. To me prophet Muhammad deserves more respect that what is shown to him. If you claim you also believe in all previous prophet except you only believed in jesus what happened during the time of Muhammad should not have been a surprise to you. If there was an award for the best prophet of all time muhammed deserves it he basically went against the world convincing even Jews and Christians to Islam he was the most complete he was built and designed for the role of a prophet. If had portrayed the trait of Jesus how wouldnt he have been sussessful. He accomplished the mission to the extent God decided not to send any prophet again. He was right man needed by God. Hence, he was awarded the most influential human in history. Pls just face your religion I am sure prophet Muhammed did and taught a lot of good things why not talk about then don't forget Muhammad was a human like you and me he does not necessarily has to be perfect. |

XXXXTENTACION: There no routine to be "formally" accepted as a Muslim. Becoming a Muslim is not any Muslim's decision to make, but Allah's once you make the shahada. To become a Muslim you only need to declare the Shahada I.e" There's no God Worthy of Worship, except Allah. And prophet muhammad (PBUH) is his final messenger". You may also add, that Jesus (PBUH) the son of Mary, is not God or His son, but only a messenger of Allah. You can say this only to yourself and you are a Muslim. Saying it before a group of Muslims is not a must, as some people wrongfully believe. Though, it serves as a welcoming ceremony that offers its psychological benefits, it is not necessary. After Shahada, you'll need a Muslim to teach you how to perform a "cleansing bath", ablution and prayer etc. May Allah Guide you. Amin. |
