What Do You Say To Declare Your Conversion To Islam? - Chapter 4

1. To achieve this, it is sufficient to say (in Arabic, if possible):

1. ’Ash-hadu ’an la ilaha ’illaal-lah!
2. Wa ‘ash-hadu ‘an-na Muhammadan Abduhu wa rasuluhu

The meaning of this is as follows:

1. I bear witness that there is no (true) god except Allah.
2. And I bear witness that Muhammad (P.B.U.H) is Allah’s Messenger.

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!
