A quick start manual for new muslims 5 min read.

By: Laura El Alam

Your Journey Begins with Proclamation of Faith in Allah and Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)

Once you proclaim that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Mohammad is the Prophet of God, you have become a Muslim. Congratulations! That is the crucial first step of your journey and indeed the foundation of everything you will do henceforth as a believer. 

Practicing Islam fully will require learning, submitting to God, and making a daily commitment to your new faith, but the wonderful thing is that Allah makes it easier for us when our hearts are determined to serve Him.

Embracing Growth, Rewards, and Patience in Our Journey

When we buy a brand new appliance or the latest gadget and we are eager to use it, we often don’t want to read the whole instruction manual. We just want to use it as quickly as possible! Similarly, when we are new to Islam, we often want to dive in and practice our faith from day one. There are numerous things to learn, though, and the process of memorizing every necessary detail will probably take months or years. In fact, forming an Islamic personality — a mindset that allows us to align all our intentions and actions with pleasing our Creator — might take a lifetime. 

But no worries! The great news is that Allah rewards us for every single step we take to draw closer to Him. If we struggle to master the words in Arabic, or to remember all the steps of the prayers, or to conquer some of our bad habits, then our rewards from Allah will be exponentially greater than our effort. We should focus on the benefits of the growth process and try to be patient with ourselves as we learn and change.

A Quick Start Guide and Tips for Finding an Islamic Mentor

For those new converts who are still eager to skip the instruction manual and dive right in, here is a helpful “quick start guide.” Included are online resources as well as some recommendations for books, which should be helpful in your spiritual growth. While books, articles, and videos are beneficial, one of the best ways to learn about Islam is from a helpful and willing real-life mentor. This article offers tips on finding a mentor. 

In the meantime, the following list will give you a place to start your journey. Wading through so much information online to find the best resources can be tedious, so we’ve attempted to compile some of the best ones for you, whether you prefer to read or watch your content. 

1. Five Daily Prayers/Salat:

This link offers an extremely helpful and straightforward guide to performing the five daily prayers . Photos and descriptions explain exactly how and when worshippers should stand, kneel, and bow. English translations of the Arabic words are provided. 

There are several apps that help keep track of prayer times and even point out the direction of the Qibla. “Muslim Pro” is one of the most popular, but there are many options. 

The “Quran Hive” app helps users listen to the Quran in Arabic with an English translation. This will help to memorize and understand the chapters.

2. Making Ablution (wudu):

4. Fasting During the Month of Ramadan:

This link provides many of the rules and regulations of fasting .

A very basic summary of Ramadan with some helpful tips.

5. Glossary of frequently-used terms:

When you start practicing Islam, you’ll be introduced to a number of new terms, mostly in Arabic. It can be a bit overwhelming to learn so many new words, particularly when seasoned Muslims tend to use them without even realizing that new converts might not know what they mean. First of all, never be afraid to ask for clarification. It’s okay not to know everything! Also, feel free to study a “ cheat sheet ” like this one, that includes many Islamic phrases, from A to Z . Also read FAQs.

These videos made by converts, address some of the most commonly-used Islamic phrases and their translation into English.

Baby Steps in Your Journey to Islam

When you hear a new Muslim explain what brought him or her to Islam, the words “ journey ” or “voyage” are often repeated as the story unfolds.

The reason is because it actually feels like you’ve taken a trip somewhere and arrived at your final destination.

For myself, my journey to Islam began when I was a 19-year-old college student sitting in my dorm room contemplating the world I had just been thrust into. I had never been exposed to such vices as I witnessed that first week, such as alcoholism. Yet, here I was in a new world filled with young boys and girls engaging in such activities.

By that first Sunday away from home, I began a determined search to find God . Since my family was never particularly religious, I felt a calling to seek out God as perhaps a means of salvation from the sins being openly committed around me.

My journey to Islam began by visiting several churches near the campus and each time being dissatisfied with what was being promulgated. It steered me clear of countless harmful encounters and circumstances that could have ended my quest instantly. And it brought me to settle in a Muslim country even though I did not understand the deen , or religion, and I had no plans to convert to Islam.

A Student of Islam

The moment someone pronounces the Islamic declaration of faith, or Shahadah , they become Muslim. Most importantly, they become students of Islam and their journey to Islam really begins.

They cannot simply declare that they are Muslim without practicing the religion. And they cannot fulfill the rites of Islam, which is the total submission to the will of Allah Almighty, without empowering one’s self with Islamic knowledge.

It’s important to realize that not everyone is at the same level of Islam. Some new Muslims may have studied the Islamic faith extensively before taking the Shahadah . Others may have had only a basic grasp of Islamic knowledge, but took the Shahadah any way since it should never be delayed.

Regardless of your level of Islam, it’s important to arm yourself with Islamic knowledge at the beginning of your conversion so you can fulfill your Islamic obligations correctly and in a timely fashion.

After my own conversion to Islam, I struggled for months to acquire Islamic knowledge since there was a lack of English reading materials available in Kuwait. I relied exclusively upon what my husband taught me and it took me quite a long time to learn the religion.

Seeker of Truth

Today, there are so many different ways to learn about Islam. One of the fastest and easiest to use is the Internet. When I converted, I was not even “online” until a few years after the inception of the worldwide web. I was busy adapting to a new culture and new roles as a Muslim, wife and mother. So I turned to the two best Islamic sources of knowledge, the Holy Quran and Sunnah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

I was fortunate that I was finally able to acquire a translation of the Holy Quran and a small book of hadith in English. I spent every spare moment absorbing the words of the Quran and attempting to memorize some of the hadith in Arabic.

By the time I began to use the Internet I felt that my Islamic knowledge was rock solid. It wasn’t, and I learned it the hard way.

I began searching for articles about Islam using Google. I expected all the results to return perfectly halal and correct Islamic knowledge. However, the results I got back were a mixture of halal information, and pure hatred coming from the enemies of Islam.

As a new Muslim, I was not prepared for the onslaught and was at risk of falling into a deviant sect of Islam because I was not as secure in my Islamic knowledge as I once believed.

Fortunately, I met a Muslim sister online and she emailed me exhaustively. She was my teacher, mentor and friend. This kind sister taught me how to pray correctly via email and even emailed me scanned pages of the prayer book she used more than twenty years prior when learning to pray.

As a new Muslim, you must realize that the Internet is both a blessing and a curse. When seeking Islamic knowledge , ask a Muslim friend or even the Imam to verify that your findings are halal and adhere to the Quran and Sunnah. You can even ask for recommendations on which Islamic books or other publications you can read to further enhance your faith.

As a new convert to Islam, you will face a lot of changes both spiritually and physically. One of the most difficult changes may be with your relationships. Since Islam is often portrayed in a negative light in the media, you might find that those nearest to you cut off contact with you entirely. Others may avoid you as if you have contracted a newly discovered disease.

You might even seek to conceal your Islam from others for fear of what they might think, say or do. But really, what power does any man have in light of Allah’s Might? Embrace your new state of Islam wholeheartedly even if it means losing old relationships. You’ve got countless opportunities to form new relationships with members of the Ummah and ones that are more substantial.

As a new Muslim I chose not to tell my family about my conversion to Islam for a number of months. I did not really care what they thought about it, but I knew they would have some horrendous things to say about my new religion and I did not want to hear them.

When I finally did tell my family members, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Their reaction was negative to say the least, as I morphed into the family’s “black sheep” overnight. It felt terrible. But my life as a Muslim sustained me. Interestingly, my faith grew even stronger than I could have imagined and remains unwavering today.

Keeping the Faith

It’s very easy to become discouraged. The first year as a Muslim will often be the hardest as you learn as many aspects of the religion as you can. You also will have to deal with your own personal reality in light of your conversion to Islam in the form of changing relationships and how others perceive you.

There is no need to leap into your newfound faith. Take baby steps and pace yourself as you grow into a full-fledged Muslim. Before you know it, you might grow into a teacher that guides others along their Islamic journey.

The Prophet Muhammad and the Origins of Islam

The rise of Islam is intrinsically linked with the Prophet Muhammad, believed by Muslims to be the last in a long line of prophets that includes Moses and Jesus. Because Muhammad was the chosen recipient and messenger of the word of God through the divine revelations, Muslims from all walks of life strive to follow his example. After the holy Qur'an, the sayings of the Prophet ( hadith ) and descriptions of his way of life ( sunna ) are the most important Muslim texts.

Early Life Muhammad was born into the most powerful tribe in Mecca, the Quraish, around 570 A.D. The power of the Quraish derived from their role as successful merchants. Several trade routes intersected at Mecca, allowing the Quraish to control trade along the west coast of Arabia, north to Syria, and south to Yemen.

Mecca was home to two widely venerated polytheistic cults whose gods were thought to protect its lucrative trade. After working for several years as a merchant, Muhammad was hired by Khadija, a wealthy widow, to ensure the safe passage of her caravans to Syria. They eventually married.

Divine Revelations When he was roughly forty, Muhammad began having visions and hearing voices. Searching for clarity, he would sometimes meditate at Mount Hira, near Mecca. On one of these occasions, the Archangel Gabriel ( Jibra'il in Arabic) appeared to him and instructed him to recite "in the name of [your] lord." This was the first of many revelations that became the basis of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. These early revelations pointed to the existence of a single God, contradicting the polytheistic beliefs of the pre-Islamic Arabian Peninsula.

Initially overwhelmed by the significance of what was being revealed to him, Muhammad found unflinching support in his wife and slowly began to attract followers. His strong monotheistic message angered many of the Meccan merchants. They were afraid that trade, which they believed was protected by the pagan gods, would suffer. From that point forward, Muhammad was ostracized in Mecca. For a time, the influence and status of his wife and his uncle, Abu Talib, the chief of the clan, protected Muhammad from persecution. After they died, however, Muhammad's situation in Mecca became dire.

The Hijra Emigration became the only hope for Muhammad and his followers' survival. In 622, they headed to Medina, another oasis town, where they were promised freedom to practice their religion. The move from Mecca to Medina is known as the hijra —the flight—and marks year 1 of the Islamic, or hijri , calendar.

Spreading the Message of Islam In Medina, Muhammad continued to receive divine revelations and built an ever-expanding community around the new faith. The conflict with the Quraish continued, but after several years of violent clashes, Mecca surrendered. Muhammad and his followers soon returned and took over the city, destroying all its pagan idols and spreading their belief in one God.

The Night Journey and Ascension of the Prophet Accounts of the ascension ( mi'raj  ) of Muhammad have captured the imaginations of writers and painters for centuries. One night, while the Prophet was sleeping, the Archangel Gabriel came and led him on a journey. Mounted on the heavenly steed Buraq , Muhammad traveled from the Ka'ba in Mecca to the "Farthest Mosque," which Muslims believe to be the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. There he prayed with other prophets such as Moses, Abraham, and Jesus, and ascended to the skies, where he was led by Gabriel through Paradise and Hell, and finally came face to face with God. He then returned to earth to continue spreading the message of Islam. According to Islamic belief, Muhammad was the only person to see Heaven and Hell while still alive.

After the Prophet's Death: Emergence of Shi'i and Sunni Sects of Islam When Muhammad died in 632, he had not named a successor. One faction, the Shi'a, believed that only individuals with direct lineage to the Prophet could guide the Muslim community righteously. They thought that 'Ali, Muhammad's closest surviving blood male relative, should be their next leader ( caliph ). The other faction, the Sunnis, believed that the Prophet's successor should be determined by consensus and successively elected three of his most trusted companions, commonly referred to as the Rightly Guided Caliphs (Abu Bakr, 'Umar, and 'Uthman), as leaders of the Muslim community; 'Ali succeeded them as the fourth caliph.

Today the Islamic community remains divided into Sunni and Shi'i branches. Sunnis revere all four caliphs, while Shi'is regard 'Ali as the first spiritual leader. The rift between these two factions has resulted in differences in worship as well as political and religious views. Sunnis are in the majority and occupy most of the Muslim world, while Shi'i populations are concentrated in Iran and Iraq, with sizeable numbers in Bahrain, Lebanon, Kuwait, Turkey, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Depictions of the Prophet Muhammad Featured in this unit are several depictions of the Prophet Muhammad. These portrayals, while somewhat rare, are not unheard of as there were (and still are) many different attitudes toward depicting the Prophet, and humans in general, in the Islamic world. These attitudes varied dramatically from region to region and throughout history; the societies that produced the works discussed here are among those that allowed the depiction of the Prophet. Commissioned by Muslims for Muslims, these images appear in biographies of the Prophet and his family, world and local histories, and accounts of Muhammad's celestial journey ( mi'raj ), as well as in literary texts. In each context, they serve a distinct purpose. They illustrate a narrative in biographies and histories, while in literary texts they serve as visual analogues to written praises of the Prophet. An image of the Prophet Muhammad at the beginning of a book endows the volume with the highest form of blessing and sanctity. Thus, illustration of him was a common practice, particularly in the eastern regions of the Islamic world (see also Frequently Asked Questions ).

Muhammad Hoblos – My Journey To Islam & A Very Touching Story

I was born Muslim hamdulillah raised Muslim, but

you know, Muslim by name. I knew very little about my Deen. Even though my mom and my father, they did do their best. But I knew very little about my Deen basics.

Eating pig is how long alcohol is haraam that Muslims pray five times a day, and there's once a month, there's a monk called Ramadan. And this was pretty much it. We grew up in a place where of course, haram was abundant. Not only was it abundant, but it was actually encouraged. So hamdulillah I mean, you know, for you guys here, in South Africa, there's a, there's a strong presence in your communities. So even if someone wants to do something wrong, it's very difficult for the young man or the young woman to sort of openly do something and how long you'll have to go to certain places, you have to leave your communities. In the earliest stages for myself, growing up, this was not the

case. Of course, now things are changing back home in Sydney and hamdulillah. But, you know, there was no such thing as horrible, or shameful act.

So of course, young, you know, growing up growing up, nothing was off limits. Literally, nothing was off limits, and it was abundant, and it's available. And then you know, it's kind of like you reach a point in your life where you start, you know, you've done everything, you've tasted everything, you've tried everything, you've been everywhere. And there's an emptiness, there's an emptiness. So,

and I think this was the beginning of my calling. I always loved them. I always loved Islam, it was a thing of respect. But, you know, it was not in my life. So there was no practice, there was no implementation of anything. And actually, Subhanallah, one of my inspirations for coming, becoming a daddy was actually due to a South African man. No, other than the late the chef comedy that we asked Allah subhanaw taala, that mercy upon him, but he played the really big influence. I remember the first time I watched the video of he's just the idea that a Muslim could stand on stage, with so much confidence and speak about their faith in front of it was it really blew me away. So and then

Subhanallah, you know, I just, I turned to the end of handily learned,

I guess, as I say, the rest is history.

As you know, many youth will be able to identify with your own story, and that inshallah will be inspiration for them.

Now, then progressing in your life, and then going out in the path of Allah, and becoming more affiliated with Dean, How was it for you in terms of having to leave perhaps those frames and the places where you were going and those that you associated before? No regrets whatsoever? Well, I, you know, I speak to a lot of brothers, and I guess this is hard for them leaving their own. For me, I,

for me, I loved every minute of it. I haven't turned back since I don't regret a single moment. I mean, if there's any regret I have, it's that I didn't do it early on. But having said that,

not all is bad, you know, not all is lost. I feel that being where I've been, helps me my dollar today.

Now, of course, I'm not saying this, so that the young one can be encouraged.

No, but you know, I believe, for myself, personally, it has impacted me. And I feel like I understand

that side of things more. And if it helps me addressing those issues, in my doubt, and certainly that does have an impact in a sense that many us are able to identify with you and they listen to your, you know, your lectures and they draw inspiration. When we talk about drawing youth towards the deen of Islam and, you know, providing them with content and things that will inspire them. What is how do we attract them? And how do we appeal to them?

How want us to do you want to be as honest as you know, what is in your heart, you say? Okay, well, I believe that we do a lot of injustice towards. And the truth is, I feel like we contradict ourselves so much, because we display one thing, but in reality, we want another so we saw we want to use we want to use and everything you do online, and wherever I go organizations, big organizations, media outlets, whatever it is, they always display that we do what we do, because we want the youth. Yet when the youth come to us, we question them, we doubt them. We don't give them roles. We don't give them any positions. Right? So it's like we say one thing, but we actually do

another, the youth, the prophet of Allah says Allah Allahu alayhi wa sallam more suited to be Shabaab. He says I was given a victory to the youth. He loved the youth some Allahu alayhi wa sallam. The youth is

where the heart is, it's where the passion is, it's where the enthusiasm is. Now, of course, we don't take away anything from our elders and our seniors and are on the map. You know, we pray for them, and we need their watchful eye. But the youth, I feel that a lot of the youth have turned away, because it's like, you know, I have no role. Like, I'll give you an example. We get a young men that comes onto the team. And it's the nature. I know, it's difficult, but it's the reality when someone comes up to me, and especially if he has J. Leah. He comes in, he's Yes, he's hungry. He wants them. And he wants to old right now. Now good or bad. I know, we can debate this, I

understand. But what do you do with this enthusiasm? There's no room for you.

There's nowhere to go. You look at our institutions, you look at our organizations, the same ruler, the same elder that's been there for the last 50 years. He won't give up his seat. And even if he does, it's probably to his son or to his grandson or to his

South African community. I've been very touched with the Australian brother who passed away. Also the video that went viral we you spoke about that? Yes. Perhaps you can share with us an insight on his life story and showed us you know, your link or anything to him. So so so this brother, he's a he's a close brother. He's from our local Masjid. And, you know, what's amazing about his story is he's your typical average, everyday Muslim. He has a family, he has a business. You know, he has his everyday commitments like every single one of us do.

He's 41 years old. I mean, he died at the age of 41. But a few years ago, so hello, some more. I'm not sure exactly what it is that inspired him. I know his younger brother, who also came to South Africa and he did his half of the finish this half of he,

he inspired him to want to memorize the Quran. Now, he had no no experience with the poor and his Quran was actually quite poor. But he inspired him, and he wanted to memorize the plan. So I remember

for years, you know, he would pray fudger with us in Jamal, and then right after the budget, he would go take his corner, and he would sit from budget until nine o'clock in the morning, and then nine o'clock in the morning, or take his children at school, and then get onto his truck. It's got to worry here was that a truck, like your tow truck.

And then he would go to work. So Pamela, and he had this unbelievable dedication. And every single day, you know, and he struggled, I remember when a whole week would go by a whole week 500 to nine o'clock in the morning, and he would barely memorize one line of the Quran.

But he stayed and he stayed that he was so persistence, Pamela until until

until he got some float. And then it was only last g he moved to South Africa.

What's the famous school? Yeah.

That's cool. So he went there.

He came with his family. And he was loving it. He was enjoying it so much.

And then the only reason why he ever left was because his one fell ill. So he came back home to Australia. I think maybe he spent two weeks, three weeks with her. And then she died. And then right after her death, he went straight back.

She went straight out one law, if I'm not wrong, maybe a day or two went straight back. He was he really wanted the Quran so much he wanted. So that.

And then so Pamela, just a few, maybe about a week ago, I was in Oman. And he was there. And he was there with his brothers, you know, with his siblings and their children and their families. And

so I hadn't seen him since his mom's death. So that in that gap between these months that I hadn't seen, but I remember when I seen him in Makkah, why his face was beaming with beaming with me. You know, so we had a lot of obviously we're very close friends, I said to men, what are you doing, you know, how are you looking so good. And he said that in his return to South Africa, he felt you must have had some

he was complaining about some lack of iron or some lack of vitamin and he had some blood cells. But it was nothing dramatic, though there was no concern.

And so upon Allah we I spent two days with him in Mecca. He performed his Amara, then that night, so the next morning I was coming back home to Sydney, he left Mecca and went through

my Medina and Subhanallah so I flew out and then I got home, slept that night, woke up in the morning and I got a text message. When I left my job he passed away. So he had got to Medina spent the day in Medina. pray Lord in Baroda behind the man because the man now prays and look older.

So the Imam used to pray in front of an older now he prays in the robot. So he had prayed the prayer directly behind the man. He was so excited.

He got a chance to pray behind the Imam spent about two hours sitting a little old on making Dawn of God

that he went back on. Then he went back to his room just complaining of some chest pains

and his siblings had agreed that they wanted to pray Marie Benjamin did not want it to go eat

and then it was awesome he's his chest got really bad then he asked for an ambulance.

As they asked for the ambulance, they took him downstairs into the foyer of the hotel

and things got really bad he started making sure that his family didn't you know his family will when they seen he make sure whether

they they didn't think the situation was as bad as he was reacting you know, so they started making law and they're waiting for the ambulance to come pick him up and his brother's police with me just as they called the again for the motive solo on

June garden. So hello, this was

Yes, hello I find it interesting that only in Islam, can you be envious of someone's day?

Have you noticed this?

that anyone that really wants a law

when you have a noble death a part of you becomes envious and this is unique to ourselves I think

I've never met a people that enviable do. People always want to leave for as long as they possibly can. But for a believer you know when you when you feel you believe that a certain individual has died. And whatever the conditions may be that you feel that Allah has accepted Him will he become envious of this person is that the thing is is that you know, as I was saying in the video, but the worst thing we could ever do is to say that brother is lucky

because yes while there's an element of luck, but when we say that he's lucky you take away the hard work that he's invested.

You see Allah subhanaw taala doesn't do things at random you know, you work hard if you really want something and you dedicate the new Cincy the luggages and I believe this brother, he really wanted

Muhammad Ali's 1972 journey to Islam and Hajj

Fifty years ago the former heavyweight boxing champion made the pilgrimage to makkah.

Read the latest updates on the  Hajj pilgrimage  here

There was an unmistakable face among the hundreds of thousands of pilgrims who made the journey to Makkah for Hajj in 1972.

Wearing the simple white cotton robes worn by all men who carry out the pilgrimage was Muhammad Ali . The self-styled greatest heavyweight boxing champion of the world was instantly recognisable, even to those with little interest in the sport.

A photographer was there to capture the moment when Ali bent down to kiss the Black Stone, or Hajar Al Aswad, in the Kaaba.

That image should have represented the high point of Ali’s spiritual journey, the pilgrimage to Makkah that all able Muslims are required to perform and one of the five pillars of Islam.

"I have had many nice moments in my life, but the feelings I had while standing on Mount Arafat on the day of the Hajj was the most unique,” he told Saudi newspaper Al Madinah in 1989.

“I felt exalted by the indescribable spiritual atmosphere as over one and a half million pilgrims invoked God to forgive them for their sins and bestow on them His choicest blessings."

But the branch of Islam the boxer followed at the time was on the far fringes of the religion and his views were regarded as extreme by many Muslims. Within a few years of the pilgrimage, a crisis of belief would lead him to reassess the direction of his faith.

Born into a devout Christian family, the young Ali, who was baptised as Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr, was heavily influenced by his mother. “Momma Bird” Odessa Clay regularly took her son to worship at the King Solomon Missionary Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky.

His religious views began to change as a teenager, the result of the racism and segregation he experienced growing up in the southern US state.

Following his own path

At the age of 16, Ali started down the path to his conversion to Islam. He was influenced by a cartoon in a newspaper published by the Nation of Islam, a religious and political group in the US. The image showed a black Muslim slave being beaten by a white overseer because of his faith.

Ali later wrote to his second wife, Khalilah, that “the thing that attracted me to Islam was a cartoon".

Some months earlier he had taken part in a Golden Gloves tournament in Chicago, buying a record he would play repeatedly. “A White Man’s heaven is a Black Man’s hell” was recorded by a Calypso singer called Louis Farrakhan, a black supremacist who is now the leader of the Nation of Islam.

Ali's anger towards white society in the US came to a head in 1960, when he was 18. He returned in triumph from the Olympic Games in Rome having won the gold medal for boxing in the light heavyweight division.

As a national hero, he believed he would be treated differently. Reality hit him hard when he was turned away from a restaurant in Louisville because of his race. It was reported that he threw his medal into the Ohio River in disgust, saying years later “that was the moment I became a Muslim".

Ali soon left Kentucky, moving to Miami to train for his first title fight and worshipping for the first time at the city’s Al Ansar Mosque, which was run by the Nation of Islam.

His faith was a closely guarded secret at the time owing to fears it could cost him the title fight with Sonny Liston because of prejudice against black Muslims.

Making a name for himself after historic victory

In public, Ali spoke of going to church. On the eve of the fight, in February 1964, it was reported that he prayed. Only a handful of people knew he did so as a Muslim and had been accompanied by American Muslim leader and civil rights figure Malcolm X.

Ali’s defeat of Liston shook the world of boxing, as did his public declaration a day later that he was a Muslim.

He later said Cassius Clay was a slave name. He was named after his father, who ha named after a member of the white Clay family, a committed abolitionist and opponent of slavery in the 19th century.

The boxer's new name honoured Ali, son-in-law of the Prophet Mohammed, with the first name being a tribute to Elijah Muhammad, the leader of the Nation of Islam at the time.

The Nation of Islam was a product of the oppression of black people in the US. It claimed the white race was created to oppress black people by a scientist named Yakub.

It said a space ship would arrive and wipe out life on Earth for a 1,000 years. Ali once claimed he saw the ship during an early morning training run.

Ali expressed the views of the organisation and its charismatic spokesman Malcolm X.

Ali opposed desegregation, going against Christian civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King, and said self-help was the only way forward for black Americans.

He described white people as “blue-eyed, blonde-haired devils".

Ali reigns again before spiritual journey

After refusing to be drafted to fight in the Vietnam War on religious grounds, Ali was stripped of his heavyweight title in 1967 and warned he could be jailed.

In 1971, the Supreme Court upheld his status as a conscientious objector and overturned the ruling that he evaded the draft.

His passport, which was taken away with his title, was returned and in January 1972 Ali flew to Makkah to perform Hajj. He also met members of Saudi Arabia's royal family.

By now an admired figure in the Muslim and Arab world, Ali said the experience of visiting the Prophet Mohammed’s tomb in Madinah gave him faith that he could defeat Joe Frazier, who had beaten him a year earlier.

Ali would narrowly win against Frazier in 1974 and go on to reclaim his world title from George Foreman in the “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire.

Ali's religious views were beginning to mature. His former mentor, Malcolm X, had split from the Nation of Islam after renouncing its views and was assassinated in 1965 by three members of the organisation.

Malcolm X had become a Sunni after performing Hajj and Ali followed suit in 1975, helped by the death of Elijah Muhammad the same year and the decision of the Nation of Islam to renounce its more extreme views.

Towards the end of his life, and suffering from Parkinson’s disease, Ali revealed in 2004 that he now was drawn to Sufism and later Sunni-Sufi Islam, as well a becoming increasingly tolerant of all faiths.

"Rivers, ponds, lakes and streams – they all are unique, but they all contain water,” he said.

When is Hajj 2024? More about the spiritual journey for Muslims that leads to Eid al-Adha

• Hajj, or pilgrimage, is one of the basic foundations of Muslim beliefs and is one of the five pillars of Islam.
• Hajj takes place in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

With the final month of the Islamic calendar, Dhul Hijjah , on its way, some Muslims will prepare to make their way to Saudi Arabia to perform an obligatory spiritual journey called Hajj, or pilgrimage. 

The month of Dhul Hijjah is anticipated to begin on the night of June 6, with the sighting of the crescent moon. 

So, what is Hajj? When does it start? Here is what to know. 

When is Hajj? 

With the period of Hajj to begin on the eighth day of Dhul Hijjah and end on the twelfth day, it is predicted to start on June 14 and end on June 19, lasting five to six days. 

What is Hajj?

Hajj, or pilgrimage, is one of the basic foundations of Muslim beliefs and is one of the five pillars of Islam, according to Islamic Relief . It takes place at Holy sites in Saudi Arabia. 

The five pillars of Islam include: 

• Profession of faith (Shahadah)
• Prayer (Salah)
• Charity (Zakat)
• Fasting (Sawm)
• Pilgrimage (Hajj)

Hajj is required to be done once in a lifetime, but Muslims have the option to go more than once if they have the means. 

The history of Hajj traces back thousands of years ago to the Prophet Abraham who built the Kaa’ba. Later, Prophet Muhammad began the pilgrimage in 628 CE during Dhul Hijjah. 

What is that Kaa’ba?

The Kaa’ba, known as the ‘Baitullah’ or the House of God, is ultimately a mosque — Muslims do not worship it.

It was built by Prophet Abraham and his son Prophet Ishmael. It was later used by polytheistic Pagan Arabs until Islam came and Prophet Muhammad made it a holy site, initiating the Islamic duty of pilgrimage. 

Today, as Muslims observe their five daily obligatory prayers, they specifically pray in the direction of the Kaa’ba in any part of the world. 

Who goes to Hajj?

Hajj is obligatory, but it is only required for adult Muslims with the financial capacity to travel and who are healthy to perform it, both physically and emotionally. 

Approximately 2-3 million Muslims participate in Hajj every year. Anyone performing Hajj is called a pilgrim. 

Where is Hajj done?

Hajj takes place in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. 

How do Muslims prepare for Hajj? What happens at Hajj?

Hajj is a special, spiritual time for pilgrims, as some of them have spent their lives waiting for this time to come. Many Muslims may have spent years saving money to finally attend Hajj or waiting for a permit from Saudi authorities, according to AP . 

To perform Hajj correctly, pilgrims must follow step-by-step rules to fulfill this journey, according to Islamic Relief . This includes maintaining a state of intention — to please God and fulfill the religious duty — and entering a state of Ihram, or spiritual state, to perform Hajj. 

To maintain a state of Ihram, pilgrims must refrain from wrongdoings, and be mindful of their words and actions. Pilgrims must refrain from smoking, engaging in sexual relations, swearing, shaving hair, and cutting nails. 

Ihram includes wearing the proper clothing for Hajj.

Men wear a two-piece white cloth wrapped around the waist and over the shoulder, and women observe the rules of hijab, which requires the head covering and loose clothing covering the body from head to toe. Footwear must be in the form of sandals. Because Hajj brings unity to the Muslim community, rich and poor, all pilgrims must dress simply without any stitching on the garments. 

Though Ihram is simple, it must be followed and adhered to. 

Next, pilgrims enter Mecca to begin their pilgrimage.

This begins with Tawaf, which is walking around the Kaa’ba counterclockwise seven times. Then, pilgrims will perform S’ai, which is walking or running between the hills of Safa and Marwah, which reenacts the struggle of Prophet Abraham’s wife, Hagar, searching for water for her son, Ishmael. Both of these actions take place in Mecca’s Grand Mosque, known as Masjid al-Haram. 

Permitted to leave a state of Ihram, men will shave their heads while women cut a fingertip’s length lock of hair, then maintain a state of Ihram again. Pilgrims will camp in an area called Mina and later head to Mount Arafat, 12 miles outside central Mecca, on the ninth day of Dhul Hijjah (known as Yawm al-Arafah), where they will stand in supplication and ask God for forgiveness.

Then, pilgrims will travel to Muzdalifa, where they will pick up pebbles to stone the devil in the Valley of Mina, where it is believed that Ibrahim was tempted to neglect God’s command to sacrifice his son. 

When is Eid al-Adha?

Eid al-Adha, the second major holiday for Muslims, translates to ‘Festival of Sacrifice’, as this day commemorates the Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ishmael, for God. But God stopped him and sent him a ram to sacrifice instead.

Eid al-Adha will take place during Hajj. It is expected to begin on the night of June 15 and will be celebrated worldwide on June 16.

On this day, Muslims will attend a community prayer in the morning, often in a mosque or Islamic center, donate to those in need, and will spend the day with friends and family, eating and enjoying each other’s company.

Pilgrims attending Hajj will offer Qurbani, which is the sacrifice of a permitted animal, to reflect Ibrahim sacrificing a ram sent to him by God after his willingness to sacrifice his son. Goat, cow, lamb and camel are some of the animals permitted to be sacrificed. It is mandatory for a portion of the meat to be donated to the needy.

Hajj concludes with repeated steps of Tawaf, the stoning of the devil in Mina, and shaving and cutting of the hair once more, which signifies a Muslim’s renewal. 

A more detailed description of these steps can be found on Islamic Relief’s website , which is verified by Islamic scholars. 

What purpose does Hajj serve?

Not only does performing Hajj fulfill one of five religious duties, but it also demonstrates the struggles Prophet Abraham and his family went through in Mecca and serves as a reminder to Muslims of Prophet Abraham’s devotion to God.

The completion of Hajj wipes a Muslim’s sins, builds spirituality, demonstrates submission to God, and brings unity to those in attendance.

Is pilgrimage allowed only during Hajj? 

Hajj, the major pilgrimage, can only be done between the 8th and 12th day during Dhul Hijjah and is to be completed in five to six days. However, there is a minor pilgrimage called Umrah, which in most cases can be completed in a day.

Umrah is not obligatory but is highly encouraged for those who have the financial capacity and are in good health. It has fewer steps than Hajj and can be done at any time of the year.

Finally, entrusting the traveler’s religion, responsibilities, and final deeds to Allah is a comprehensive du’a from Abu Dawud:
