Plainly speaking, as we have already mentioned about Islam that it is the religion of great magnificence and that it is the only way to achieve eternal salvation from Allah, the Almighty. Therefore, it is essential upon everyone to embrace Islam.
This is an invitation to you. A sincere invitation that calls upon you to embrace Islam. You may inquire how to enter in the fold of Islam. In fact, every human being is born as Muslim. However, it is a natural inclination for those who after growing up in different religions to study Islam and finally embrace it. You should know that every newborn child is created on the face of earth accepting the natural religion of Islam.
On the other hand, every newborn baby coming in this world admit that his/her Lord is Allah, love Him while submitting to Him Alone.
If a person continues to insist on this natural inclination of Islam, he/she is a Muslim by nature. They are not required to renew their faith of Islam. But after reaching the age of puberty or maturity they have to incorporate their faith by practicing the true teachings of Islam.
As for the faith of children raised between the non-Muslim parents and if that baby accepts the faith of his/her parents’ false religion other than Islam, he/she must abandon the previous religion and embrace Islam.
He/she must bear witness to the testimony of faith by declaring that ‘La ilaha illa-Allah Muhammad-un-Rasul-u-Allah’, (there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah).
Thereafter, he/she should start learning the very basic concepts and signs of Islam such as establishing the regular prayers and invocation to Allah alone, etc as we have mentioned earlier.
Our final prayer is: All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the whole universe.
Allah’s peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family members, and Companions, as well as upon those who follow them until the Day of Judgment..
