Converts to Islam
Okay kiddo, so there are many different religions in the world and some people decide to follow a particular religion because it makes them feel happy and fulfilled inside. One of these religions is called Islam and it is based on the teachings of a man named Muhammad, who lived a long time ago. People who decide to follow this religion and become Muslims are called converts to Islam.
Now, let's imagine that you are a curious kid who wants to learn more about Islam and maybe even become a Muslim yourself one day. You might start by talking to other people who are already Muslims, reading books or articles, or watching videos about Islam.
If you decide that you want to become a Muslim, the first step is to make a declaration, or say a certain sentence called the Shahada. This sentence goes like this: "There is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his messenger." By saying this, you are publicly declaring that you believe that there is only one God (Allah in Arabic) and that Muhammad was a prophet sent by God to teach people how to live a good and fulfilling life.
After you have said the Shahada, you are considered a Muslim and you can start learning more about the religion and how to live according to its teachings. This might involve things like praying five times a day, fasting during the month of Ramadan, giving to charity, and treating others with kindness and respect.
Becoming a Muslim can be a big decision, but it's one that many people find brings them a lot of happiness and fulfillment. Whether you decide to become a Muslim or follow another religion, what's most important is that you choose something that makes you feel good inside and helps you be the best person you can be.
