Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah)! With this guide, we aim to show you how to proceed from here. Introduction to Islam The key to entering Islam is the Declaration of Faith (Shahadah). This declaration consists of two parts: Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah.) Ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasuluh (I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger.) For the Shahadah to be valid, it must be sincerely believed and recited from the heart. In the first part of the Shahadah, you affirm your belief in Allah and that there is no deity except Him. You remove all false beliefs, idols, and elements of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003epolytheism from your heart, making room only for Allah. In the second part, you declare your belief in Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). By accepting that he is Allah’s servant and messenger, you avoid the mistake of deifying a human being, as Christians did with Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him). Memorize the Shahadah, repeat it often, let it settle deeply in your heart, and understand its value. For it is your ticket to Paradise. After accepting Islam, you must perform a ritual bath (Ghusl). This purifies you spiritually and is a necessary step for your prayers to be valid. You can find details on how to perform Ghusl in the section on cleanliness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Erol Medien GmbH - Semerkand Online","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51915773608276,"sku":"AA-001.42.172","price":2.54,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/3226\/5556\/files\/mockupleitfadenenglish.png?v=1747837632","url":"https:\/\/semerkandbooks.com\/fr-nl\/products\/guide-for-the-new-muslim","provider":"SemerkandBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
