In my eyes the person who

  1. Say Kalima tayyebba
  2. Offer 5 prayers daily
  3. fast in the month of ramadan
  4. Pay Zakat
  5. Perform Haj

and also belives in

  1. Unity of Allah
  2. All the Prophets of Allah
  3. All the Angels
  4. All the Books of Allah
  5. Day of Judgement.

If you do above in my eyes you are a Muslim.

MTANWEER,

I can make your list even simpler but include one of the major criteria to be a Muslim, which perhaps you forgot to mention.

1)Faith in unity of God and firm belief that Mohammad Mustafa PBUH is the prophet of Allah.

2)Offering five time prayers a day

3)Fasting

4)Zakat

5)Haj (for people who can afford)

Person who obeys above five pillars of Islam with clear heart is a Muslim. Though every pillar require more explanations particularly faith in Unity of God and belief in the last Prophet PBUH.

Sincerely,

FARID M
