Simply by saying with conviction, “La ilaha illa Allah,
Muhammadur rasoolu Allah,” one converts to Islamand becomes
a Muslim. This saying means “There is no true god but God
(Allah),2 and Muhammad is the Messenger (Prophet) of God.”
The first part, “There is no true god but God,” means that none has
the right to be worshipped but God alone, and that God has neither
partner nor son. To be a Muslim, one should also:
Believe that the Holy Qur’an is the literal word of God,
revealed by Him.
Believe that the Day of Judgment (the Day of Resurrection)
is true and will come, as God promised in the Qur’an.
Accept Islam as his or her religion.
Not worship anything nor anyone except God.
The Prophet Muhammad said: { God is more joyful at the
repentance of someone when he turns to Him in repentance
than one of you would be if he were riding his camel in the
wilderness, and it runs away from him, carrying his food and
drink, so that he loses all hope of getting it back. He comes to
a tree and lies down in its shade (awaiting death), for he has
lost all hope of finding his camel. Then, while he is in that state
(of desperation), suddenly it is there before him! So he seizes
its halter and cries out from the depth of his joy: “O God, You
are my servant and I amYour Lord!” His mistake comes from
the intensity of his joy. }1
