How can I become a Muslim

How can I become a Muslim?

One of the most beautiful things about Islam is that you don’t need a channel between you and God. Becoming a Muslim is simply a matter of pronouncing the two testimonies of faith (shahada), believing in their meaning.

These testimonies are: “I testify that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.” Once you understand their meaning and believe in them, we encourage you to say them, because we do not know when we will die, and we want to meet Allah as believers. For this reason, we do not encourage delaying this step. Knowledge can be gained gradually after taking the shahada; it is not a prerequisite.

Once you say the shahada, you are a Muslim.

It is preferred to take a bath (ghusl) after converting to Islam, which is essentially washing your whole body with water once, making sure it reaches the roots of your hair and places it cannot reach easily, with the intent of purifying yourself from disbelief.
