Saying the Shahada upon Converting to Islam, but Denying it in the Heart, This is According to Islamic Perspective

"Procedures and Requirements for Conversion to Islam"

Someone who wants to enter the religion of Islam is required to recite two sentences of the shahada.

Besides that, he also has to fulfill the obligations of a Muslim. Namely, performing the five daily prayers, fasting during Ramadan, and other obligations. This is as explained in the book Ghunyah by Sykeh Abdul Qadir Al Jailani: "First, reciting the two testimonies of faith, there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Disassociating oneself from any religion other than Islam. Believing in the oneness of Allah in his heart."

Then it is mandatory to take a bath as the Prophet commanded Tsumamah bin Utsal and Qis bin 'Ashim when they embraced Islam. Then it is mandatory to pray because faith must be accompanied by both words and actions, as words are like claims and actions are the evidence. Words are a formal form, while actions are the substance or essence.

"Conditions for Entering Islam in Accordance with State Regulations"

"While for someone who wants to convert to Islam, they also have to fulfill several regulations set by the country. Here are some of the requirements:"

Create a statement letter of converting to Islam on a Rp 6000 stamp paper Create a letter of introduction from the local village office Photocopy of ID card (KTP) 1 sheet/kitas and passport 3 pieces of 3x4 size photos Photocopy of family card (KK) Curriculum vitae Recite the two sentences of the declaration of faith (syahadat) For those who have already declared elsewhere, include proof of the declaration of faith.

What if someone recites the Shahada but their heart denies it?

Then, what if someone who has already recited the Shahada, but their heart turns out to deny it?

Explained by Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qardhawi in his book titled 'Fatawa Qardhawi, Issues, Solutions, and Wisdom': "Whoever utters and affirms with their tongue, they become a Muslim. And the laws of Islam apply to them, even if in their heart they deny it." According to him, we are commanded to implement it outwardly. As for the inward aspect, it is left to Allah SWT.

As the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) did not wait for the time of prayer or the month of Ramadan to accept those who wanted to embrace Islam. Then, when the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Usamah, killed a person who was uttering 'Laa ilaaha illallaah', the Prophet (pbuh) said: "You killed him after he said Laa ilaaha illallaah." Usamah said: "He said Laa ilaaha illallaah out of fear of death." The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "Do you know what was in his heart?"
