All6h (God) makes it incumbent on Muslims to convey His
message to all humanity in its final form, the
Qur'En. We are
not talking here about conversion, merely enlightenment.
Indeed, to turn to IslEm, the religion of all the prophets, is not
to turn one's back on preceding prophets. It does not involve
changing one's basic spiritual nature. In the
Q[r'dn,
pure human
nature is a "Muslim" nature, which knows its Lord and wishes
to submit to Him. The
Qur'En states: "There shall be no
compulsion in
[acceptance
ofl the religion. The right course
has become clearfrom the wrong. "(Q 2:256)
How Does One Become a Muslim؟
To become a Muslim a person simply needs to pronounce the
shahadah (declaration of faith) with sincere conviction; "Ash
hadu al-la ilaha ill-Allhh, wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan
rasululldh !'. This means, "l testifu that there is no deity
fwort]ry
ofworshipJ except AIlAh, and I testify that Muhammad
is the messenger of Alldh."
