"There is none worthy of worship except God and Muhammad is the messenger of God." This declaration of faith is called the Shahadah, a simple formula that all the faithful pronounce. The significance of this declaration is the belief that the only purpose of life is to serve and obey God, and this is achieved through the teachings and practices of the Last Prophet, Muhammad."
Sounds simple enough right ?
The extreme importance of this Shihada is that it must be said with full conviction, and full understanding and full comprehension, that those words you are saying are not said in VAIN and must be TRUE as to the essential meaning of truth to the individual.
Its impossible to say Islam forces people to become Muslims strickly because of this rule that the Shihada must come directly from the individual who wants to become Muslim.
If any one is forced to say the shihada, according to Islam they are not Muslims, because they themselves are not true believers of its message, why? because they were forced to do so.
There were no reall conviction behind their words, Islam was not in their hearts to accept fully.
Looking at the world around us today and the Muslim impact on all continents and cultures. Its proof in itself that all these people must have accepted Islam because of their love of its message, that would explain why most of them are behind Islam 100%.
Peace be unto all the readers and hope its understood that Islam seeks truth from its followers.
