When you accept Islam, you make this statement - "Ashhadu an laa ilaha illa Allah,
wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan abduhu wa rasooluhu" meaning "I declare that there is no other god besides Allah, and I declare that Muhammad is the servant and Messenger of Allah."
This statement means that you agree to worship only Allah, the One True God, and never worship anything or anyone else ever. It also means that you accept Muhammad as being a true Messenger sent by Allah. By entering into Islam, you are submitting yourself to Allah by agreeing to follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad as revealed to him.
Accepting Islam is the best decision you have ever made and we are sure you thought about it a lot before committing yourself.
The moment you believed in the truth of this statement and said it, you were already a Muslim. Saying this publicly means you officially entered into the community of Islam. Other people now know that you are a Muslim and can treat you like a brother or sister in Islam.
Islam is a complete way of life. It is much more than just a belief system. Beliefs without action don't have much meaning.
Allah did not leave us in the dark to figure out everything on our own. He sent revelation to us to guide us. Could you imagine flying a plane without being taught or having an instruction manual? A human is much more complex than any technological device. So, for a Muslim, the more guidance we get from our Creator, the better off we are. Islam is not a very strict religion, but it does have rules, and these rules are for our own good.
