How do I become a Muslim?

Becoming a Muslim rests on one sincere declaration — the shahada: that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is His Messenger. The Qur'an is clear that faith is never forced; it is a choice the heart makes freely once the truth becomes clear.

“There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong...”— 2:256 (Saheeh International)

Ask Noor can explain the shahada, what to do after taking it, and how to begin praying and learning — gently, at your pace.
