Meaning of Kalima-i Shahada: “I testify that there is no god but Allah, and I also testify that Muhammad (pbuh) is His servant and Messenger,” by means of the word-i-shahadah, which affirms  the unity of Allah and the Prophet. To accept the prophethood of Muhammad. This need not be done in any ceremony or in the presence of a religious institution.

PERIOD BEFORE THE PERSON BECOME A MUSLIM 

Before anything was created, the Throne of Almighty Allah was on the water. Our Lord first created the pen and commanded it, “write everything that will happen until the Day of Judgment.” He wrote in the pen as commanded by our Lord. The name of the book in the presence of our Lord, in which everything is written, is Levh-i Mahfuz.  Almighty Allah, the Creator of everything, created the world and the entire universe. He constantly monitors and controls everything he has created and records it. He has given him very important tasks among his creations, and has given him intelligence and stated that he will definitely try. contained in the verse. We should definitely know that a person cannot become a Muslim without the permission of Almighty Allah. No one can be made a Muslim by force.

So how does Almighty Allah enable a person to become a Muslim?

In the 125th verse of Enam Surah , “Whoever Allah wishes to guide, He opens his chest to Islam. Whoever wants to mislead, he will tighten his chest as if he were going up to the sky. This is how Allah inflicts torment (and distress) on those who do not believe.”

As it can be understood from here, Almighty Allah rules and controls the heart of the person who will become a Muslim and directs him to Islam. His religious knowledge, dhikr, worship, good morals and his good morals make our prophet, believers and Muslims love him. If you fulfill the orders and orders, this means that Almighty Allah loved you in this worldly life and took you to the right path. He promises a paradise equipped with various blessings in the hereafter. You are in this eternal life and eternal paradise.

How does a person know that his heart has been opened to Islam?May Almighty Allah show you with a righteous dream. The main management center of man is his heart. Human desire first appears in the vessel. Then he plans and projects with the mind. It should be known very well that Almighty Allah directs the heart of man himself. Spirits act under his command. He directs the soul and heart of the person he wants to be a Muslim to his true path, to religion, and makes them love him. If your interest in Muhammad (saas) and other prophets is increasing, if you are trying to understand the impermanence of the world, why you were created, your purpose in life, if there is a power that directs you to research in this area, the death of a family member or loved one you lived with before, if your business is going wrong for you, etc. . Many more examples can be given, This is testing the servants with distress. It means that Almighty Allah says to you, O my servant, turn to me now. Because he says I have the key to the solution of everything. He created and manages everything: these verses prove it. “Whatever is in the heavens and on the earth belongs to Allah. Things turn around and reach Allah.” Surah AL-I Imran, 109 verses

“Allah carries out all the affairs from the sky to the earth. Then these works ascend to Him in a day whose duration is a thousand years by your reckoning.” verse 5 of surah prostration
