What should I do to convert to Islam?

Requirements. Converting to Islam requires one to declare the shahādah, the Muslim profession of faith ("there is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the messenger of Allah").

In the Islamic religion, it is believed that everyone is Muslim at birth.

Islam, has always been the only acceptable religion in the sight of God. For this reason Islam is the true natural religion’, and it is the same eternal message revealed through the ages to all of God’s prophets and messengers.

The main message of all the prophets has always been that there is only One True God and He alone is to be worshipped. These prophets start with Adam and include Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Jesus, peace be upon them all.

However, the true message of these prophets was either lost or got corrupted over time.

Even the most recent books, the Torah and the Gospel were adulterated and hence they lost their credibility to guide the people to the right path. Therefore 600 years after Jesus, God revived the lost message of previous prophets by sending the Prophet Muhammad with His final revelation, the Holy Quran, to all of mankind. Since the Prophet Muhammad was the final prophet, God Himself has promised to preserve His last revealed words so that it is a source of guidance for all humanity till the Last Day.

It is now imperative for everyone to believe and follow this final message from God.

How to Convert to Islam ? The Testimony of Faith (Shahada)

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 “ash'hadou anna la ilaha ila Allh wa ash'hadou anna Muhammad rassoul 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.
