AI Overview
To accept Islam, you must sincerely declare the Shahada (declaration of faith): “Ash-hadu an la ilaha illa Allah, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan Rasoolu Allah,” meaning “I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah”. This sincere declaration, coupled with belief and commitment to Islamic principles, makes you a Muslim, often followed by rituals like ghusl (purification bath) and learning the core duties like prayer, fasting, and charity (the Five Pillars).
Steps to Accepting Islam
Sincere Intention: Have a true desire to submit to God and follow Islam as a way of life.
Declare the Shahada: Say the testimony of faith (Shahada) out loud with conviction and understanding, either in private or at an Islamic center.
Purification (Ghusl): It’s recommended to perform a full ritual bath to symbolize spiritual cleansing.
Commit to the Five Pillars: Begin practicing the core duties of Islam:
Shahada: The declaration of faith.
Salah: Performing prayers five times daily.
Zakat: Giving to charity.
Sawm: Fasting during Ramadan.
Hajj: Making a pilgrimage to Mecca (if able).
What Happens Next?
Forgiveness: Past sins are forgiven, and you start with a clean slate.
Community Support: You’ll find support from fellow Muslims and teachers.
Learning: Focus on learning the Quran, understanding Islamic teachings, and developing good character.
Where to Go for Help
Local Mosque: Visit an Islamic center (Masjid) to speak with an Imam or community leader who can guide you.
Online Resources: Many Islamic websites offer guides and support for new Muslims.

General Discussion
Assalamu Alaikum, my fellow brothers and sisters! I have a question for the Muslims who reverted to Islam. As a Muslim who was raised in a beautiful Muslim family, Mashallah, I am constantly amazed by Islam and every new thing I learn about it. But I can’t imagine the feeling of those who reverted, when they first accept Islam, when they become drawn to it. Subhanallah, it must be amazing. So what was it that drew you to Islam? How did you come to accept Allah (SWT) as our one and only God, to accept that Muhammad (PBUH) was the last Messenger? What’s your story?
