Benefits Of Becoming A Muslim

This article is designed for those who wish to become Muslim; as to what
would be their benefits after accepting Islam. It should be stated here that
we are not trying to entice people to become Muslim, nor are we trying to
convert them into the fold of Islam. Any person who wishes to become a
Muslim should recognize that he or she will get all these benefits and much
more. However, he or she should realize that they have to earn them by
practicing the teachings of Islam. Implementing the practice of Islamic
teachings is as important as believing.

Benefits

The following items are some of the benefits to be earned and enjoyed by
those who wish to become Muslim:

1. As far as the Creator (whose proper name is Allah) is concerned, you will
be able to identify Him and get to know Him, His role and your relationship
to His names, you will be able to communicate with Him any time, 24 hours a
day, throughout the whole year. As a result of this category, you will be
able to know your origin, your roots and the wisdom as to why you are on
this planet. You will be able to have good answers to the questions why,
how, when, where, what and other philosophical questions.

2. As a result of the first benefit, your loyalty, allegiance, and obedience
will be to the Creator himself. You will transcend yourself from all types

interest between your boss, your job, your government, your system or any
worldly relationship with the Creator, you will undoubtedly put your trust
in Allah, the Creator of the universe. You will follow Him before you follow
anyone else.

3. As a result of the second benefit, you will be able to acquire peace,
harmony, tranquility and happiness within yourself, with your family, with
people of the world, with the environment and with the universe. One has to
remember that the source of peace is Allah, and one of his beautiful names
is that He is The Peace.

4. As an endorsement to the third benefit, you will get rid of the extra
electrostatic charges from your brain and the central nervous system by
performing the daily Salah (prayer). Through Salah, you are to prostrate by

self-evaluation, and self-obedience to Allah the Creator. You undoubtedly
will be able to improve health, personality, character, and behavior.

7. As a result of the sixth benefit, you will be able to control your lusts,
selfishness, desires, greed, ego, and conceitedness.

8. Another side reaction of the sixth and seventh benefits is that you will
be generous and hospitable; you will try to purify yourself and your
mistakes by sharing your happiness and your wealth with those who are less
fortunate than you. Your rewards will manifold, compounded daily until the
Day of Judgment.

9. By performing pilgrimage to Makkah, you will transcend yourself from
being nationalistic, sectarian, or denominational into being universal. You
will be part and an essential constituent of the rainbow of Islam. You will
be also part of the brotherhood of Islam with those who already submitted
themselves to the Creator. At the same time, you will get rid of any
inferiority or superiority complexes. You will also find yourself in
synchrony and harmony with all the prophets and messengers of Allah since
the creation of Adam and Eve until the last final messenger to mankind,
prophet Muhammad (PBUH). While in Makkah, you will be able to visit the
places of revelation of the Qu`ran as well as the places visited by prophet

10. In becoming a Muslim, you will do your best to stop all types of
exploitations in all their forms: economic, biological, mental, spiritual,
psychological, political, etc. You will also work to liberate people and
give them freedom of worship, freedom of speech, and freedom of expression.

venereal diseases, AIDS, and other diseases of similar nature in the
society.

in the grave and later, eternal happiness. Angels at the time of death will
comfort you. They will also show you your place in paradise. On the Day of
Judgment, you will be able to see and meet all the prophets and messengers
of God to mankind including Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad
(PBUH). You will be able to see and meet any and all of your friends and
relatives. You will live an eternal life of bliss in paradise.

Reflections

The benefits mentioned above and many more cannot be purchased with money
anywhere in the world. No one is to sell them to you or to advertise them on
TV. You have to take the initiative yourself and try to acquire them by
accepting Islam first and then by practicing its teachings. You should be
honest with yourself, sincere, and truthful to the Creator. You should try
wholeheartedly to practice what you believe, regardless of whether someone
else is good or not. While seeking happiness is a must, it should not be
measured with other people's standards or with material gains. Happiness is
from its potential to its kinetic forms. People around you should feel your
happiness as well as benefit from you.

Are you ready to accept this challenge today? Remember, tomorrow may not
come, and it will be too late.
