Page 9 The Islamic Bulletin The Purpose Of Life
Islam is to bear witness that Almighty God is
God, the only God, the only One without any part-
ners. Islam is to acknowledge the existence of the
Angels who were sent with the duty of revealing the
revelations to the prophets. Carrying the message to
the prophets. Controlling the winds, the mountains,
the oceans, and taking the life of those whom God has
ordered to die. Islam is to acknowledge that all the
prophets and messengers of Almighty God were righ-
teous men. And that they were all sent by Almighty
God acknowledging the fact that there will be a final
day of judgement for all creatures. Islam is to acknowl-
edge that all good and evil has been proportioned by
Almighty God. Finally, Islam is to acknowledge that
there will definitely be a resurrection after death.
Islam is like a big house. And every house has
to be built with a foundation and pillars to support a
house. Pillars and a foundation. And you have to build
a house with rules. The pillars are the rules! And when
you build your house, you must follow the rules.
The fundamental duties incumbent upon every
Muslim are simple, and are summed up in just 5
simple rules, the so-called Five Pillars of Islam: Belief,
Worship, Fasting, Almsgiving, and Pilgrimage.
The most important rule of Islam is to uphold
the strict code of monotheism. That is, to not accept
any partners with God. Not to worship anything along
with God. The believer worships God directly with-
out the intercession of priests or clergy or saints. Not
to say anything about God that you have no right to
say. Not to say, ‘he has a father, a son, a daughter, a
mother, an uncle, an aunt, a board of trustees.’ Not to
say anything about God that you have no right to say.
When you bear witness, you sentence yourself. You
take the sentence that you want. You either sentence
yourself to peace and paradise, or you sentence your-
self to confusion, frustration, hellfire and punishment.
You sentence yourself.
So ask yourself, “Do I bear witness that there
is only one God?” When you ask yourself that ques-
tion, you should answer, “Yes, I bear witness.” Then
ask yourself the next question. Do I bear witness that
Muhammad is a messenger of Almighty God? “Yes, I
do bear witness.” If you bear witness to that, then you
are a Muslim. And you don’t have to change what you
were. You just have to make alterations in what you
were--in your thinking and practice.
Finally, I ask you an honest and direct ques-
tion: Have you have understood what I said to
you? If you agree with what I said and are ready
to enter Islam, you are ready to become a Mus-
lim. To become a Muslim, you must first declare
the Shahada “the testimony”; which is to de-
clare the belief in the Oneness of God and the
acceptance of Muhammad as God’s prophet.
Ash-hadu anlaa ilaaha ill-Allah, wa ash-hadu anna
Muhammadan rasulu llah
“Which means that you believe that there isn’t any
God except the one and only true God who created
everything “Allah” and Muhammad is the messen-
ger of God.

When you are ready to accept Islam and
become a Muslim, wash yourself before formally
becoming a Muslim. Accept Islam. Know about Islam.
Practice Islam. And enjoy the bounties that Allah has
bestowed upon you, because faith is not The most
