How does someone become a Muslim?


   Simply by saying -1) Kalma Tayyab: "Laa ilaaha illal Lahoo Mohammadur Rasool Ullah "-"there is no god apart from ALLAH, and   Muhammad SW.is the Messenger of God." By this declaration the
   believer announces his or her faith in all God's messengers,
   and the scriptures they brought.  What does `Islam" mean? The
   Arabic word `Islam' simply means `submission,' and drives
   from a word meaning `peace.' In a religious context it means
   complete submission to the will of God.  `Mohammedianism' is
   thus a misnomer because it suggests that Muslims worship
   Muhammad (peace be upon him) rather than God. `Allah' is the
   Arabic name for God, which is used by Arab Muslims and
   Christians alike. Why does Islam often seem strange? Islam my
   seem exotic or even extreme in the modern world. Perhaps this
   is because religion does not dominate everyday life in the
   West today, whereas Muslims have religion always uppermost in
   their minds, and make no division between secular and sacred.
   They believe that the Divine Law, the Shari'a, should be
   taken very seriously, which is why issues related to religion
   are still so important.
