Bismillah,
I said my shahadad (the thing you say to become a Muslim) I said it in front of a Muslim. I was wondering was this the correct procedure. I am worried because there is people who say you must go to a mosque to say your Shahadad. What is the correct procedure?
Wasalam
Allahu Akbar... Allah is the Greatest.
Congratulation for uttering your <b>SHAHADAH </b> (declaration of faith) and welcome to Islam. :)
Here is the right pronunciation in Arabic along with its meaning.
<b>"ASH-HADU ANLA ELAHA ILLA-ALLAH</b> (I bear witness that there is no other god worthy of worship except Allah)
<b>WA ASH-HADU ANNA MOHAMMADAN RASUL-ALLAH". </b> (And I bear witness that Muhammad is Allah's messenger)
it is not necessary for you to go to the mosque in order for you to become a Muslim, the moment you utter these words with conviction (preferably infront of 2 witnesses) then you have entered into of Islam.
You may read this article for further explanation insah'Allah. How to become a Muslim
