How to revert to islam
Once you choose to revert to Islam, forthwith without delay, you need to pronounce the Shahadah or the testimony of faith.
The Shahadah (the statement to testify the faith) is as follows:
“Ashhadu allaa ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadar Rasulullah”The meaning is:
“I bear witness that there is no deity (none truly to be worshipped) but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad (PBUH) is the messenger of Allah.”
The most important point to bear in mind is that Allah is the One and Only God, Who alone should be worshipped, as He is the Creator, Sustainer and Law-Giver of Mankind.
The next important point is that the final of the prophets of God is Muhammad (peace be upon him), and he is an exemplar par excellence for all the believers. That is to say, a Muslim has to accept him as a model and follow his teachings.
In Islam, the term “worship” (Arabic: Ibadah) does not signify merely the ritualistic activities such as prayer, fasting, almsgiving or pilgrimage. It encompasses all aspects of the daily life of a believer. In fact, it stands for everything a Muslim believes, says or does.
When a Muslim performs all the activities of his life for the pleasure of Allah, then all his deeds become Ibadah or worship. Naturally this includes his/her ritualistic worship, such as Prayer also.
