There are numerous things to learn, though, and the process of memorizing every necessary detail will probably take months or years. We just want to use it as quickly as possible! Similarly, when we are new to Islam, we often want to dive in and practice our faith from day one. When we buy a brand new appliance or the latest gadget and we are eager to use it, we often don’t want to read the whole instruction manual. Practicing Islam fully will require learning, submitting to God, and making a daily commitment to your new faith, but the wonderful thing is that Allah makes it easier for us when our hearts are determined to serve Him. Congratulations! That is the crucial first step of your journey and indeed the foundation of everything you will do henceforth as a believer. Once you proclaim that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Mohammad is the Prophet of God, you have become a Muslim.
