A CALL TO EMBRACE ISLAM

Assalamualaikum,


This is a humble call to readers of this blog who are not yet Muslims. I hereby extend my invitation to you to embrace Islam. It is easy and simple to embrace Islam. All you have to do is to utter these verses:
لا إله إلا الله
Transliteration: La ila ha illal lah
Translation: There is no God worthy of worship but Allah
محمد رسول الله
Transliteration: Muhammadur Rasullullah
Translation: Muhammad is the Mesenger of Allah

To formalise the verses, a prefix is usually added:

أشهد أنلا إله إلا الله

Transliteration: Asyhadu al la ila ha illallah
Translation: I bear witness that there no god worthy of worship but Allah
أشهد أنمحمد رسول الله

Transliteration: Asyhadu anna Muhammadur rasulullah
Translation: Ibear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah
When you and utter those verses with your full conscience and submission, then you become a Muslim.
What do I promise you in return? I don't promise you anything. But Allah promises you heaven or Jannah in Arabic.
Allah's promise is immortalised in these verses of the Qur'an:
إِنَّالَّذِينَآمَنُواوَعَمِلُواالصَّالِحَاتِأُوْلَئِكَهُمْ خَيْرُالْبَرِيَّةِ
Those who have faith
And do the righteous deeds
They are the best
Of creatures
(Al Qur'an 98:7)

جَزَاؤُهُمْعِندَرَبِّهِمْجَنَّاتُ عَدْنٍتَجْرِي مِنتَحْتِهَاالْأَنْهَارُخَالِدِينَفِيهَاأَبَدًارَّضِيَاللَّهُعَنْهُمْوَرَضُواعَنْهُذَلِكَلِمَنْخَشِيَرَبَّهُ
The reward is with Allah
Gardens of Eternity
Beneath which rivers flow
They will dwell therein
For ever; Allah well pleased
With them, and they with Him;
All this for such as
Fear their Lord and Cherisher
(Al Qur'an 98:8)
