The answer

One who has read about Islam, become convinced of it, and abstained from its prohibitions is commended. Such a person is encouraged to pronounce the Two Testimonies (Shahadatain) and embrace the religion. It is not a condition to comprehend all the rulings of Islam to enter it; rather, it suffices to have a general belief in the six pillars of faith (Iman) and the five pillars of Islam, as knowledge and conviction gradually increase. Regarding social difficulties, Allah grants a Muslim strength and steadfastness to face challenges, and embracing Islam while committing some sins is far better than remaining in disbelief. A Muslim may conceal their Islam and hide their acts of worship if they fear harm that they cannot endure.
