Entry into Islam is by uttering the Two Testimonies (Shahadatayn), along with believing that the religion of Islam is the true religion. Mere intention or desire is not sufficient for entry into Islam. A person is not considered Muslim if they die without having uttered the Two Testimonies, while being capable of uttering them.
