Answer:
Revert from hindu to
Islam
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Your
Question: my name is gouri. what is the meaning of my name.
To the best of our knowledge, the term and name ‘Gouri’
means one who is fair complexioned.
Your
Question: can u guide me pls coz i want to change my religion n make myself a
muslim
The six fundamental articles of faith in the religion of
Islam are:
Respected Sister, if your heart is absolutely convinced
regarding the above six fundamental articles of faith, you will be considered a
‘muslim’ in the Sight of your Lord Creator.
For one to be considered a ‘muslim’ in the Sight of
Shariah Law and of the believers, all one has to do is verbally declare the
‘shahaadah’ or the testimony of faith:
‘Ash hado anna laa ilaaha illalaah, wa ash hado
anna Mohamed ar-Rasool Allah.’
(Translation: ‘I bear witness there is no deity worthy of
worship except Allah Alone, and I bear witness that Mohamed (saws) is the
Messenger of Allah.)
If any individual, absolutely regardless of their past
belief or faith, race, color, nationality, gender, etc. declares the above
statement or testimony of faith, they will immediately enter into the fold of
‘Islam’ and be considered a ‘muslim’ in the Sight of Shariah Law and the
believers; and every single right that is due to a ‘muslim’ will be accorded to
them in full.
My dear and respected sister, if you require any help or
guidance on how to perform the basic rites of worship and how to live your life
as a ‘muslim’, it would be best if you could contact an ‘Islamic Guidance
Centre’ or any righteous and pious muslim sister in any mosque in your area….we
absolutely assure you that they would welcome you with open arms and help and
guide you in your chosen path of Islam, Insha Allah.
If there is anything at all we can do to help you in your
chosen path, we would consider it at honor to have been given this opportunity
to serve in the Cause of the Lord Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Your brothers and sincere well-wishers…..
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
