The answer

The feeling of bewilderment and confusion is the beginning of the search for the light of truth, and it prompts one to seek the guiding light, as happened with Salman al-Farsi. Whoever associates partners with Allah is like one who falls from the sky and is snatched by birds. The true religion calls for dedicating worship solely to Allah, without any partners. He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Unmanifest, and He is free from the need for a son or a companion, for need is a weakness that does not befit God. This monotheism is the religion of all prophets and the creed of Abraham, and Jesus, peace be upon him, is a servant of Allah and His messenger, not a god. One must quickly decide to embrace Islam by uttering the two testimonies: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger, and that Jesus is Allah's servant and His Messenger and His word which He bestowed upon Mary and a spirit from Him." It is recommended to read the Holy Quran, the book "Mukhtasar Al-Tafseer" (Abridged Exegesis), the book "Barahin Al-Nubuwwah" (Proofs of Prophethood) by Dr. Sami Al-Amri, and the book "Ta'rif 'Amm bi Din al-Islam" (A General Introduction to the Religion of Islam) by Sheikh Ali Al-Tantawi.
