How Does One Become Muslim? | Facts about the Muslims & the Religion of Islam

Are you considering becoming Muslim but not sure what it entails? The first step is to ensure you understand the basic beliefs of Islam (found here). These beliefs consist of:

• Belief in one God, who has no partner or son
• All Prophets and Messengers
• All scripture revealed by God
• Angels
• Day of judgment
• God’s decree

These beliefs are what make one a Muslim. If you believe in these things you are ready to become a Muslim. To become a Muslim, you simply have to declare the testimony of faith (in Arabic it is called the shahada).

The Shahada is the first pillar of Islam and is what makes one a Muslim. The five pillars of Islam (found here) consist of:

• The testimony of faith
• Five daily prayers
• Giving Charity
• Fasting the month of Ramadan
• Performing pilgrimage to Mecca once in your life
