How to be a Muslim?

If somone wants to convert to Islam, I will reassure you it is very easy. There are many steps you should do to be a real Muslim.

First, you have to say The Two Declarations (shahadatan): there is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah. Besides, you have to believe that Jesus is a Messenger of Allah not son of God.

Second, you should wash your whole body by water. If a woman, before being Muslim, finished menstrual period for example, she has to wash her body by water. Also, in the case of having sex relation between spouses, they have to wash the body.

Third, after doing the two steps above, you should do purification (wudu) to perform Prayer. Prayer is basic part of Islam. you need to know more about how to perform Prayer and what nullifies it. You can see Seven Nullifiers of Prayer
