Asalaam Alaikum :)
Mashallah for being interested in the Great Religion of Islam.
We as Muslims know our religion to be the most logical, evidence based Following of God there is.
Being a Muslim is done simply by saying the Shadada, or "Declaration of Faith".
Which is *in Arabic; "La ilaha illa Allah WA Muhammeden Rasul Allah". Which literally translates into; I bear witness that there is No God but God, and Muhammed (PBUH) is the Final messenger of god.
Being a Muslim has many benefits, spiritual contentment, Getting to know you creator, and living by the teachings of the Prophets. An Islamic life is a righteous one. Islam teaches all the best moral codes and ethics. Being a Muslim will automatically join you into the global Um mah* Islamic community *(Where all Muslims are Brothers and Sisters)*
The Five Pillars of Islam in which a Muslim abides is the Shadada* Declaration of Faith, Salah* Ritual prayer 5 times a day, Zakat* Charity to the unfortunate depending on your wealth, Sawm* Fasting of the month of Ramadan, And Hajj* Pilgrimage to the holy City of Mecca at least ones in your life.
We constantly remember and worship the True and infinite creator of the universe Allah* (God-in Arabic-Muslims, Christians and Jews all worship the same god)
Islam teaches that there is only one god, and that there is no possibly equal to god nor does god work along side partners. We strive to Worship our creator and avoid idolatry and sin. We learn from the Divine Scripture of Islam the Quran which is Allahs message to humanity, and we learn from the teachings and practises of the Blessed Prophet Muhammed (PBUH) Whom we strive to follow with all our hearts.
Becoming a Muslim and living a Righteous Islamic life will Guarantee you Salvation from your creator on the day of judgment, when every living thing will be judged based on there actions on earth. Every person which Believed in God and the Last day, lived a Righteous life away from the *Evils* of society will be guaranteed a place in Jannah *(heaven)*. And shall stand before there all powerful creator.
The Benefits of becoming Muslim are endless, and the beautiful message of Islam has now spread to one quarter of the entire Worldly population.
Islam invites All human beings regardless of race, or previous faith to Submit there will to the one true creator and earn there right to paradise in the hereafter.
Inshallah You will become Muslim and accept the universal truth :)
Peace out x
A Muslim is always considers to be a Muslim unless he choose to change his religion...but that's not acceptable in Islam..........
if Its a musslim its very true choose
yes a Muslim girl has the choice to choose who she marries , who she divorces, and if she wants to follow through with a marriage
No if they are born a jew they die a jew. if they are born a muslim they die a muslim. if they are born a christian they die a christian
Muslim women shave before marriage the same way other women shave when they choose so. With a shaver.
The cap that Muslim men wear is called a turban. It is a type of wrapped head covering. Muslim men wear it as a religious symbol of their faith. Many Muslim men choose to wear green, because it represents paradise.
Not all Muslim women cover their faces, but most of them cover only their hair. Of course, if you want to be a Muslim, you have to follow the teaching of Islam, the Islam asks women to at least cover their hair.
Why should a Muslim child have to choose a religion? Islam is the only religion acceptable to Allah and as a child one is not mature enough to try to choose a religion. Do some research, talk to your elders read some books and once you are old enough rethink about it before making any decisions.
No, being Muslim does not require a specific ethnic or cultural background. Islam is a global religion with followers from different races, ethnicities, and nationalities. Anyone can choose to embrace Islam regardless of their identity or background.
We are all Muslim. Its just whether or not you choose to accept it.
It is violation of Islam guides and requirements for a Muslim woman not to wear hijab. The same way most Christians do sex without marriage in violation to Jesus commands.
because he didnt teach them how to choose one upon his death?
