How to convert to Islam step by step 1) For a Muslim, every action begins with your intention. Quietly, to yourself, make the intention to embrace Islam as your faith. 2)Say the following words with clarity of intention, firm faith and belief: 3) Say: "Ash-hadu an la ilaha ill Allah." (I bear witness that there is no diety but Allah.) 4) Say: "Wa ash-hadu ana Muhammad ar-rasullallah." (And I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.) 5)Take a shower, symbolically cleansing yourself of your past life. (Some people prefer to shower before making the declaration of faith above; either way is acceptable.) 6) Learn how to pray and practice Islam in your daily life. 7)Continue to learn, study, and grow in your new faith. Seek support from Muslims if available. With the pronunciation of this testimony, or “Shahada”, with sincere belief and conviction, one enters the fold of Islam. Upon entering the fold of Islam purely for the Pleasure of God, all of one’s previous sins are forgiven Hadith: “Do you not know that accepting Islam destroys all sins which come before it?” (Saheeh Muslim) The word “Muslim” means one who submits to the will Allah. Becoming a Muslim is a simple and easy process that requires no pre-requisites. One may convert alone in privacy, or he/she may do so in the presence of others. “We did not send the Messenger before you without revealing to him: ‘none has the right to be worshipped except I, therefore worship Me.’” (Quran 21:25) This conveys that all forms of worship, whether it be praying, fasting, invoking, seeking refuge in, and offering an animal as sacrifice, must be directed to God and to God alone. And one must try to mold their lives and character and emulate the Prophet, as he was a living example for humans to follow. God says: “And in deed you have a good and upright example in the Messenger of God, for those who hope in the meeting of God and the Hereafter, and mentions God much.” (Quran 33:21)
