Any
human
being
can
embrace
Islam.
You
do
not
need
anyone’s
permission.
You
simply
say
and
believe
that
there
is
No
God
except
ALLAH
and
that
Mohammad
is
his
Messenger.
Once
you
say
this
sentence,
you
automatically
become
Muslim.
From
there,
you
start
carrying
on
with
the
duties
of
Islam.
You
must
do
what
ALLAH
and
His
messenger
tell
you
to,
and
stay
away
from
what
they
tell
you
to.
Islam
does
not
tell
you
to
do
anything
unless
it
is
good
for
you.
It
also
does
not
tell
you
to
stay
away
from
anything
unless
it
is
bad
for
you.
You
will
notice
the
change
in
the
way
you
look
at
things,
the
minute
you
become
a
Muslim.
You
will
feel
more
relieved
and
secure
only
to
think
that
you
are
fulfilling
the
orders
of
ALLAH.
Doing
this,
you
will
clearly
see
the
benefits
of
it
for
yourself
and
for
mankind.
You
can
embrace
Islam
in
any
Islamic
center.
This
is
only
a
formality.
Once
you
say
and
believe
in
the
Oneness
of
ALLAH
and
in
the
message
of
his
Prophet
Mohammad,
then
you
are
a
Muslim.
To
become
a
Muslim,
simply
say
the
following
words:
ASH
HADU
ALLA
ILAHA
ILLA
ALLAH,
WA
ASH
HADU
ANNA
MOHAMMADAN
ABDUHU
WA
RASULUHU.
This
means
I
testify
and
witness
that
there
is
no
god
worthy
of
being
worshipped
other
than
ALLAH
and
that
Mohammad
is
His
Messenger.
You
must
say
it
and
believe
in
it.
My
friend,
do
you
have
a
Mosque
nearby?
If
you
do,
I
suggest
that
you
go
there
and
find
a
good
Muslim
friend
to
teach
you
Islam.
I
hope
to
hear
back
from
you.
May
Allah
bless
you
with
a
life
of
piety
and
make
you
among
the
people
of
Paradise.
Be
steadfast
in
Islam,
and
you
will
be
successful.
