3) How to convert to Islam? What are the Pillars of Islam?

Islam is based on five pillars which the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has explained for us, when He said: “Islam is built upon five [pillars]: the testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; establishing regular prayer (salaah); paying the zakaah; Hajj (pilgrimage) and fasting Ramadaan.” [Al-Bukhari]

The non-muslim enters Islam by saying the two testimonies, i.e., to say: Ash-hadu ALLA ‘ilaaha ‘illa Allah wa Anna Muhammadan Rasoolu-laah.

4) Pillars of faith and branches of faith

Faith in the sense of belief is based on six principles, which are mentioned in the hadeeth of Jibreel (peace be upon him), when he questioned the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), who said: “Faith means to believe in Allaah, His angels, His Books, His Messengers, the Last Day, and the Divine Decree, both good and bad.” [Agreed upon]

Faith which includes good deeds of various kinds is that which has seventy-odd branches.

6) Changing an evil, Punishments in Islam

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then with his heart [by hating it and feeling that it is wrong] – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]

With regard to crimes in Islam like stealing, commiting adultery, etc., or the crimes whose doer deserves to be killed like apostasy (leaving Islam or disbelieving in one of its tenets). It should be noted here that punishments generally are carried out ONLY by the Muslim authorities. So no individual should give himself the right to act on behalf of the authorities.

7) The meaning of Tawheed and its categories

Tawhid means believing in Allah Alone as God and Lord and attributing to Him Alone all the attributes of Lordship and divinity. Tawheed is divided into three categories; namely, Tawheed al-Rububiyyah (Oneness of Divine Lordship), Tawheed al-Uluhiyyah (Oneness of Divinity) and Tawheed al-Asma wa’l-Sifat (Oneness of the Divine Names and Attributes).

8) Islam is appropriate for all people in all times and circumstances

Allah says in the Qur’an (interpretation of the meaning): “Do you know better or does Allah?” [2:140]

The call to reinterpret what is proven and clear (of Islamic beliefs and principles) in a way as to make them drift from the original, definitive meaning, and twist the meanings and objectives of these principles in such a way as to suit the people’s changing whims and desires, thoughts and ideas, then in that case the purpose behind it (reinterpreting basic Islamic beliefs and principles) is undoubtedly unaccepted.
