    Do you want to prove to others something? Are you feeling obligated to do it? Has Allah put this desire in your heart? Or do you just really love this person and care for this person and you want them to go with you to heaven?

    Are you a devoted Muslim? Do you put Allah first in your life? Are you a good example of how a Muslim should be? Make sure to have a close relationship with Allah. Attend a mosque every Friday, read your Qur'an, do not sin, etc. Help yourself before helping others.

    Prayer is the number one factor here. If you want to convert your Christian friend to Islam, you have to tell Allah first! Tell Him how you feel, really open your heart to Him so that He can see how devoted you are and so that He can help you overcome this victory. Remember to pray daily.
  4. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/8\/85\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-4.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-4.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/8\/85\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-4.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-4.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    This knowledge may come in handy especially when it comes to discussions. Look at the similarities and differences between both religions. Explain how Muslims respect the Prophet Jesus ('Isa).
  5. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/ea\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-5.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-5.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ea\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-5.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-5.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Introduce them to some of your Muslim friends so that they can feel the warmth and love that we share towards each other. Mosques usually have sessions for converts or those wishing to convert to provide support, and help with any queries there may be. Just remember that they are not obligated to go if they do not wish to. Don't pressure them.
  6. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/e\/ee\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-6.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-6.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/e\/ee\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-6.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-6.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Showing a good example is also a big key. Be kind, not only to them, but to everyone! Always have a smile on your face and always be happy, for Allah always wants our light to shine. Our actions can create a great impact on others. Remember talk is cheap; actions are worth so much more.
  7. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/f\/f1\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/f\/f1\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-7.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Be there whenever you can. If your friend is in a bad situation, don't just sit there and say you're sorry—do something for them! That way they can see how extraordinary you are.
  8. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/9\/98\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-8.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-8.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/9\/98\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-8.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-8.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Your friend may not ever want to become a Muslim, and that is perfectly alright. They have the right to their own beliefs. If Allah wants them to convert, He will make Himself present in their life. It's best to leave them be and drop the topic.
  9. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/7\/78\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-9.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-9.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/7\/78\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-9.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-9.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    Have them join you in persuading an individual into accepting Islam. Having them see and discuss with people who were once Christian will help get your point across.
  10. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-10.jpg\/v4-460px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-10.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/0\/07\/Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-10.jpg\/aid1683480-v4-728px-Covert-a-Christian-to-a-Muslim-Step-10.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}
    You have to be really smart and delicate with how you present the topic. If you're throwing information in their face and drowning them, it'll only discourage them. If they decline, respect their decision—remember, there's no compulsion in religion in Islam. [1] [2]

  • Question
    What if I have committed so many sins, including fornication, and I want to be a Muslim and change my ways?
    Community Answer
    If you become Muslim, you are practically reborn. Thus, your sins will be forgiven but you must also sincerely repent and not sin anymore. Begin over.

  • Question
    I want to convert to Islam but I don't have a Muslim friend to guide me. What do I do?
    Community Answer
    You can accept Islam by finding a local Imam or searching online for help. Make sure no one is forcing you to convert. The local Imam will guide you. Try to learn basic things like praying, fasting, etc. and implement them in your life.

  • Question
    What changes can happen to my personal identity when I convert to the Muslim faith?
    Community Answer
    You will become more modest. You will be happy and thankful for the little things. You'll be more kind and good to others if you truly follow Islam.

      Tips

      • The command is to love your brother as you love yourself. Muslims and Christians are brethren children of Abraham. Ishmael and Isaac two big nations promised by God.
        Thanks
      • If you question, 'Why do you want to convert faith for faith, love is acceptance and love is the greatest gift in the universe'? If a Muslim has a yearning to convert you didn't sway them of course. It was the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. Abraham taught Ishmael about the Line almighty all merciful source of love and peace the light that is all life. You don't want to come on the way of Gods calling.
        Thanks
