How Does One Become a Muslim?

How Does One Become a Muslim?

One becomes a Muslim by believing in the Two Testifications of Faith and uttering them with the intention of leaving out blasphemy.


What are the Two Testifications of Faith?
The Two Testifications of Faith are:


In English

I bear witness that no one deserves to be worshiped except Allah
and
I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah


In Arabic


أشهدُ أنْ لا إلهَ إلاَّ اللهُ
 وأشهدُ أنَّ محمّدًا رسولُ الله


(ASHHADU ALLA ILAHA ILLALLAH, WA ASHHADU ANNA MUHAMMADAR-RASULULLAH)



The non-Muslim embraces Islam by believing in the Two Testifications of Faith and uttering them with the intention of leaving out blasphemy.


   1. The first Testification means that no one or thing deserves to be worshipped except God Who is the Creator of everything.
      
   2. The second Testification states that Muhammad the (PUBH) of Allah who was born in Makkah about 1400 years ago is a messenger of God. He was sent to convey what God revealed to him so that the humans believe in and work with the Laws he received and brought. He is truthful in all what he conveyed.

The Two Testifications reject the Godhood of anyone or anything other than God. They confirm the Godhood of God only with the acknowledgment of the message of prophet Muhammad.

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan ampunan dosa, benarkah ??

Hidup kita ini tidak lepas dari dosa , apalagi godaan yang semakin banyak. Kita juga bingung apakah kita bisa bersih dari dosa yang telah kita lakukan. Namun Allah s.w.t memberi kesempatan yang luas bagi kita pada bulan Ramadhan ini untuk membersihkan dosa kita sebagaimana yang dijelaskan dalam sebuah hadits yaitu :

"Barang siapa yang melakukan ibadah di malam hari bulan Ramadhan, karena iman dan mengharapkan ridha Allah, maka dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu diampuni. (Muttafaqun ‘alaih)."

Dalam Hadits diatas jelas sekali maksudnya dan sekarang semua hanya tergantung diri kita apakah kita ingin bersih lagi atau tidak, karena mungkin saja ini adalah Ramadhan terakhir bagi kita dan kita tidak punya kesempatan lagi untuk membersihkan diri kita, semoga kita semua senantiasa berada dibawah lindungan-Nya.. amiin.
