How to Boost My Knowledge and Spirituality? The first step of becoming a Muslim is to declare the Shahadah, the Testimony of Faith, witnessing to the fundamental article of the faith of Islam that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger . Once this is done, praying five times a day becomes obligatory. Each prayer must be performed at its specified time every day. the exact timings of each prayer in your area, obtain a prayer timetable from your nearest masjid (mosque) The second step , if it is one of the obligatory prayers, is to call the Adhan (the call to prayer), followed by the Iqamah (a shortened version of the Adhan signifying that the worshipers have stood ready for the prayer). If the Adhan and the Iqamah are already given (by others) and the worshipper is about to perform the prayer in congregation, he can simply join the congregation and do the salah. If he is going to perform one of the fard (obligatory) prayers alone, it is recommended that he give the Adhan and the Iqamah before doing the prayer.
