How do I become a Muslim ?
By first attaining the above understanding of shahada (“La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah”) and then confessing it to Allah, glory and praise to Him.
To take your Shahada (i.e. make the confession of faith), just make your best attempt at pronouncing, in arabic, the statement, “Ashadu an (I bear witness that) La ilaha il Allah, Muhammad-ur-Rasool-Allah“. You do not have to have witnesses to this event, and you should not make a big ceremony out of it, because it is a very personal committment. It is, however, recommended, if you can, to make your shahada with muslim witnesses, but do not delay becoming a muslim for this or any such reason. After you become a muslim, then you are held responsible for learning when and how to do salah and wudu, acting upon the pillars of Islam and faith, and for implementing what you learn, when you learn it.

Does Islam teach us to kill ?
[Quran 7:28] They commit a gross sin, then say, “We found our parents doing this, and GOD has commanded us to do it.” Say, “GOD never advocates sin. Are you saying about GOD what you do not know?”
[Quran 49:13]“O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant. “
[Quran 5:87] … and do not aggress; GOD dislikes the aggressors.
[Quran: 7:199] ……You shall resort to pardon, advocate tolerance, and disregard the ignorant.
The relations of Muslims (Submitters) with others are based primarily on peace, mutual respect and trust. The theme in the Quran is peace as long as there is no oppression or injustice that cannot be resolved by all the peaceful means available.
The religion of Islam forbids the killing of innocent people, irrespective of the cause - religious, political or social beliefs.
Quran, the Muslims’ holy book and scripture declares;
[Quran 6:151] “…… You shall not kill – GOD has made life sacred – except in the course of justice. These are His commandments to you, that you may understand.”
[Quran17:33] “You shall not kill any person – for GOD has made life sacred – except in the course of justice. …..”
The laws of the previous scriptures that applied to previous generations and current generation are repeated and emphasied for the Muslims (Submitters) in the Quran. Muslims (Submitters) are commanded to follow such laws. Quran reiterates ;.
[Quran 5:32] “……, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. …………..”
The religion of Islam condemns the killing or even the persecution of people merely because they embrace a different religion. The Quran mandates the absolute freedom of religion in a society. It does not allow Muslims to fight except for self defense and to enforce peace. It does not allow restrictions on those who disagree on religious matters. It urges the Muslims to treat such people kindly and equitably!
[Quran 2:256] “There shall be no compulsion in religion…”.
[Quran 60:8]“GOD does not enjoin you from befriending those who do not fight you because of religion, and do not evict you from your homes. You may befriend them and be equitable towards them. GOD loves the equitable.”
[Quran 8:61]“If they resort to peace, so shall you, and put your trust in GOD. He is the Hearer, the Omniscient.”
[Quran 4:90]“…… Therefore, if they leave you alone, refrain from fighting you, and offer you peace, then GOD gives you no excuse to fight them.”
Regrettably, many terrorists groups have used the name Islam to promote their cause and this gave many non-Muslims a chance to asperse Islam and label the Muslims as terrorists. Deliberately ignored on the other hand, are terrorists who happen to be Christians or Jews.
With all the great laws established on earth by God or man, the evil among the human being, will find a way to abuse, distort or misinterpret them. This does not make these laws evil but rather proves the evil nature of these criminals.
Terrorism as an act of violence has been committed by people from all religious and political backgrounds.

Why would God send SO MANY prophets and different religions?
As you look into history before the time of Jesus (peace be upon him) their was Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and before him was Abraham peace be upon him) the father of the prophets. And they all preaching worship one God,
But the thing which confuses most people is, why would God send so many prophets with different religions to people such has Judaism, Christianity and such Islam?
The answer is God sent every prophet with the same message being, Worship one god and don’t associate any partners with God.
We look in Judaism the first commandment is
1. I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
2. Torah: “I am the first, and I am the last; and besides me there is no God” (Isaiah 44:6
In Christianity 12:28-32)
\n\n28 One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, "Which is the first of all the commandments?" \n
\n29 Jesus replied, "The first is this: \’Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
\n30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.\’ \n
\n31 The second is this: \’You shall love your neighbor as yourself.\’ There is no other commandment greater than these." \n
\n32 The scribe said to him, "Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, \’He is One and there is no other than he.\’ \n
\n Also in John (14:24) Jesus said, "whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me." Meaning Jesus was sent by god as a messenger also in John (17:1-3) \n
\n 1. When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come. ….. 3 Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, \nthe only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. “,1] ); //–> we look it says in mark (12:28-32)
28 One of the scribes, when he came forward and heard them disputing and saw how well he had answered them, asked him, “Which is the first of all the commandments?”
29 Jesus replied, “The first is this: ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is Lord alone!
30 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’
31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
32 The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher. You are right in saying, ‘He is One and there is no other than he.’
Also in John (14:24) Jesus said, “whoever does not love me does not keep my words; yet the word you hear is not mine but that of the Father who sent me.” Meaning Jesus was sent by god as a messenger also in John (17:1-3)
1. When Jesus had said this, he raised his eyes to heaven and said, “Father, the hour has come. ….. 3 Now this is eternal life, that they should know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ.
The Last Sermon of the Prophet
O People
Lend me an attentive ear, for I know not whether after this year, I shall ever be amongst you again. Therefor listen to what I am saying to you very carefully and take these words to those who could not be present here today.
O People
Just as you regard this month, this day, this city as sacred, so regard the life and property of every Muslim as a sacred trust. Return the goods entrusted to you to their rightful owners. Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you. Remember that you will indeed meet your Lord, and that He will indeed reckon your deeds. Allah has forbidden you to take usury (interest); therefore all interest obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital, however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer any inequity.
Allah has Judged that there shall be no interest and that all interest due to Abbas Ibn ‘Abd al Muttalib (the Prophet’s uncle) shall henceforth be waived.
Beware of Satan for the safety of your religion. He has lost all hope that he will ever be able to lead you astray in big things, so beware of following him in small things.
O People
It is true that you have certain rights in regard to your women, but they also have rights over you. Remember that you have taken them as your wives, only under Allah’s trust and with His permission. If they abide by your right then to them belongs the right to be fed and clothed in kindness. Do treat you women well and be kind to them, for they are your partners and committed helpers. And it is your right that they do not make friends with anyone of whom you do not approve, as well as never to be unchaste.
O People
Listen to me in earnest, worship Allah, say your five daily prayers (Salah), fast during the month of Ramadan, and give your wealth in Zakat.
Perform Hajj if you can afford to.
All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black, nor a black has any superiority over a white- except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim, which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefor, do injustice to yourselves.
Remember one day you will appear before Allah and answer for your deeds. So beware, do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone. People, no prophet or apostle will come after me and no new faith will be born. Reason well therefore, O people, and understand words which I convey to you. I leave behind me two things, the Quran and the Sunnah (Hadith), and if you follow these you will never go astray. All those who listen to me shall pass on my words to others and those to others again; and may the last ones understand my words better than those who listened to me directly. Be my witness, O Allah, that I have conveyed your message to your people.”
