Reverting to Islam is a term that is used to refer to the person who chooses to be a Muslim and to obey Allah in Islam.

In this short article, I would like to share with our readers some of the benefits that await the one who sincerely embraces Islam.

1. The first and most important benefit is that the one who accepts Islam has chosen to worship and obey the God who is truly worthy of worship and obedience. This is so because mankind has created gods which people worship, but these deities are not truly WORTHY of worship.
2. Islam is in accordance with sound reason. The ability to think is respected within the boundaries of the guidelines of the religion.
3. Islam proclaims that God is uniquely distinct from His creation. Allah does not become one with His creation. His attributes are complete and perfect without any of the limitations or deficiencies of the creation.
4. Islam answers many of the fundamental questions about existence that a thinking person may have.
5. Islam is a balanced way of life that fulfils both physical and spiritual needs, without neglecting either. It provides guidelines in keeping with the nature of man to guide his everyday affairs which ensures a smooth running through the journey of life.
6. Submission to the Creator ensures peace of mind and tranquillity which is the result of submitting to one’s Creator.
7. The religious, moral, economic, political and social ethics are permanent and constant and are governed unchanging principles including justice, freedom, equality, brotherhood and social responsibility.

In addition, a person who accepts and enters Islam has a guarantee that he or she will enter Paradise if they die as Muslims. These are some of the benefits that can be derived from accepting Islam. We hope that you can take the time to research Islam with a fair and balanced mind
