WHAT DO YOU SAY TO DECLARE YOUR CONVERSlON TO lSLAM?

1. To achieve this, it is sufficient to say (in Arabic, if possible):
A. ’Ash-hadu ’an la ilaha ’illaal-lah!
B. Wa ‘ash-hadu ‘an-na Muhammadan rasulul-lah
C. Wa ‘ash-hadu ‘an-na ‘isa abdul-lahi wa rasuluhu
D. Bari’tu min kulli dinin yukhalifu dinal-Islam

The meaning of this is as follows:
A. I bear witness that there is no (true) god except Allah.
B. And I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger.
C. And I bear witness that Jesus is the slave and messenger of Allah.
D. I deny and refuse any religion except Islam.

Also you can say:
1. I (firmly) believe in Allah, His Angels, His scriptures, His Messengers, the Last
Day, and in the ability of Allah to will the existence of good or bad.
2. I promise Allah not to associate with Him (in worship) anyone or anything
(whatsoever), and,
3. I will steadfastly perform Salat (the Five Prayers), and
4. I will give out Zakat (special Islamic system of charity), and
5. I will never steal, and
6. Never commit adultery (or fornication), and
7. Never illegally kill a person, and
8. Never disobey Allah.
9. Praise be to Allah Who has guided me to belief !

Note: The person in charge, in front of whom a new Muslim has announced his
conversion to Islam, prays Allah for him with such prayers: Allah may forgive me and you! And Allah may accept (submission) from me and you! O Allah! Accept him with those on whom You did bestow your Grace, of Prophets, the Sincere (lovers of Truth), the Witnesses, and the righteous! What a beautiful Fellowship!
