How can a Christian woman who wishes to embrace Islam, knows the two testimonies of faith but has not yet uttered them, begin to learn prayer, memorize what is necessary from the Quran, and understand the rituals of the religion without assistance or suitable resources?
The questioner is called upon to immediately pronounce the Two Testimonies (Shahadatain) to enter Islam, affirming that Jesus is a servant and messenger of Allah. It is explained that this decision represents the beginning of a new life, a distinction between life and death, light and darkness, and the living and the dead. It is emphasized that the matter is easy for whomever Allah makes it easy for, and that Islam begins with the Oneness of Allah and following His Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, then performing the pillars of Islam, with an emphasis that the head of the matter and its pillar are Islam and prayer. The new Muslimah is asked to gradually learn the rulings of purification and prayer, with a warning to be cautious and avoid dangers in practicing worship, while assuring continuous support and assistance.
