The Muslim faith is considered true among its adherents, because the messages of the Lord, transmitted through the prophets Moses, Abraham, Jesus, were distorted over time. And the last prophet was Mohammed, who transmitted the words of God to mankind without changes. To become a Muslim means to be a believer.
Instructions
Step 1
Believe in Islam Sincerely It is important that the desire to be a Muslim arises in your mind, in your heart. You must accept Islam as your true faith and Allah as the One God.
Step 2
Read the words of the Shahada You don't have to go to a mosque to convert to Islam. For this, it is enough to say the Shahadah. Shahada is a testimony of faith in Allah and His prophet, the most important of the 5 pillars, denoting faith in God.
Once you have decided to be a Muslim, there is no need to put it off. Read the shahadat right away: "Ashkhadu alla ilaha illa-Allah wa ashhadu anna Muhammad rrasulullah." Translated from Arabic, Shahada means "I testify that there is no God worthy of worship, except Allah alone, and that Muhammad is His Messenger."
It is better to read the Shahadah in the presence of at least two male Muslim witnesses, so that, if something happens, they can confirm your acceptance of Islam. If this is not possible, then you can say the Shahadah in private, and later in front of witnesses.
Step 3
Serve God The word "Muslim" means "one who obeys", i.e. one who follows the precepts of Allah. Islam is not only a spiritual initiation into religion, it is a way of life for a person as a whole. The holy book - the Koran - is a guide on how to be a Muslim in all spheres of human activity. Study the Quran, pray 5 times a day, visit the mosque on Fridays, communicate with believers and learn the intricacies of religion to keep the faith. You can find a spiritual teacher who will instruct you, teach you prayers and read the Quran. To get started, you can follow the guidelines that you know. Failure to comply with other instructions out of ignorance is forgiven, but they must be studied.
Step 4
Learn to Live Among Unbelievers Once you embrace Islam, do not adjust to the modern world. The Muslim faith can be negatively perceived by non-believers, but do not give in to social prejudice. Disciple your loved ones and spend more time with believers.
