What Is Islam in Simple Words?

The first essential point regarding the general methods to convert to Islam in Kuwait that I will explain is "What is Islam in simple words?" It is important for you to understand this before proceeding with the rest of the article, as it is a fundamental question that must be properly comprehended.

Easy Ways to Convince a Christian to Convert to Islam

In general, many people understand that Islam is the final divine religion. By "divine religion," I mean the faith that originates from God (Allah). Islam was brought by the Prophet Muhammad as the last Prophet and Messenger of Allah.

That is correct. If you understand Islam in simple words as explained above, you are not mistaken. However, there are some additional simple explanations that can help you better understand Islam.

We can find a description of these fundamental aspects of Islam in the following hadith:

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذَ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا رَجُلٌ شَدِيْدُ بَيَاضِ الثِّيَابِ شَدِيْدُ سَوَادِ الشَّعْرِ ، لَا نَرَى عَلَيْهِ أَثَرَ السَّفَرِ وَلَا نَعْرِفُهُ ، حَتَّى جَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُوْلِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَهُ إِلَى رُكْبَتِهِ وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخْذِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِيْ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، مَا الْإِسْلَامُ ؟ قَالَ : أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إلَّا اللهَ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ وَتُقِيْمَ الصَّلَاةِ وُتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُوْمَ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيْلًا. قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ

From Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: "While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him) one day, suddenly a man appeared, wearing extremely white clothes and having very black hair. There were no signs of travel on him, and none of us knew him. He approached the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), sat close, placed his knees against his, and put his hands on his thighs. Then he said, 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam: what is Islam?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, '(Islam is) to testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, to perform the five daily prayers, to pay Zakat, to fast during Ramadan, and to perform Hajj if you are able to.'" (The hadith continues.)

Ladies and Gentlemen! If we analyze the hadith above, we can conclude that Islam in simple terms consists of the following five pillars:

1. Testifying that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger.
2. Performing the five obligatory prayers daily (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha).
3. Paying Zakat for those who are obligated to do so.
4. Fasting during the month of Ramadan.
5. Performing Hajj for those who are able.

These five pillars form the foundation of Islam. This explanation is further supported by another hadith:

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بُنِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ : شَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ , وَإِقَامِ الصَّلَاةِ , وَإِيْتَاءِ الزَّكَاةِ , وَصَوْمِ رَمَضَانَ , وَحَجِّ الْبَيْتِ

From Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'Islam is built upon five pillars: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, performing the prayers, giving Zakat, fasting in Ramadan, and performing Hajj.'"

Is Islam a Great Religion?

The second key point is whether Islam is truly a great religion. The answer is a definite "Yes!" Islam provides guidance for happiness in both this world and the hereafter for those who follow its teachings sincerely. Additionally, the authenticity of Islam's two primary sources—the Quran and the Hadith—has been preserved throughout history.

Is Converting to Islam Acceptable?

The third key point is whether converting to Islam is acceptable. The answer is "Of course!" However, conversion must be based on the six articles of faith in Islam:

• Belief in Allah.
• Belief in Allah's angels.
• Belief in Allah's messengers.
• Belief in Allah's revealed books.
• Belief in the Day of Judgment.
• Belief in divine predestination (both good and bad).

How to Convert to Islam in Kuwait?

Finally, let's discuss the specific steps to convert to Islam in Kuwait. In simple terms, there are two essential steps:

1. Accepting and believing in all the six articles of faith mentioned above.
2. Reciting the two Shahada statements:

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُوْلُ اللهِ

"I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah."
