The declaration of faith or Shahadah is an essential component of becoming a Muslim, but it is not the only requirement. To fully embrace Islam, one must also believe in the oneness of God, accept all of His prophets, including Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), perform regular prayers, give charity to the needy, fast during the month of Ramadan, and go for Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) if they are physically and financially able to do so. By fulfilling these obligations, a Muslim demonstrates that they are committed to their faith and their submission to God. In addition to these requirements, Muslims are also expected to abide by Islamic principles and values such as honesty, respect, kindness, and fairness towards others.
