CONVERTING TO ISLAM
Converting to Islam
Millions of people have made this choice — from every country, culture, and background. Whether you’re at the beginning of that process, somewhere in the middle, or looking back on it, these articles meet you where you are.
ALLAH
Allah
The question of God sits at the center of everything. Who is He? What are His attributes? How does Islam’s understanding of the Divine compare to other traditions? These articles approach that question with the seriousness it deserves.
ISLAMIC BELIEFS

PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
No figure in Islamic life is more central, and few are more misunderstood in popular discourse. These articles draw from fourteen centuries of scholarship to present Prophet Muhammad as Muslims have always known him.
The Echo of Revelation
Hear the Words of Allah

Surah Al-Baqarah (The Cow)
Verse 186 • Recitation by Mishary Rashid Alafasy
وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ ۖ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ ۖ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me.
