At over a billion members and growing, Islam is, by some measures, the fastest-growing religion in the world.[1] Unique among the world's religions in the ease with which new members may join its ranks, Islam requires only a simple, sincere declaration of faith to become a Muslim. The declaration is not to be made lightly, however - devoting oneself to a life guided by Islamic principles is one of the most important (if not the most important) acts you'll ever make.
You should know that accepting Islam destroys all sins which come before it , as a new convert your record is clean, and it is as if you was just born from your mother’s womb, one should try as much as possible to keep his records clean and strive to do as many good deeds as possible. [2]
