Well ...Hi and I know many others could answer these questions better than me but I'll give a go at it...and give some small pointers while others can give you the specifics..

The belief of Islam is that there is no God but Allah (S.W.T) and he has no son, no daughters, no parents, and he is alone in creating everything..It is veryy important for us to believe this as this what the religion is all about. Now, in Christianity, there are many groups who believe certain things but nevertheless they tend to say that Jesus is son of god, or god itself..but in Islam it clearly states that Isa (A.S) like Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) was a messenger to tell the people about the religion.

Surah 19. Maryam. Ayah 30.
"He [Isa(Jesus)] said: "Verily, I am a slave of Allah, He has given me the Scripture and made me a Prophet;"

1. How do you give yourself to Allah? is there a process?

Well, if your talking about being a Muslim then it is merely taking Shahadah...La ilaha illallah Muhammad-ar Rasullullah...Which means There is no God but Allah and Muhammad(S.A.W) is his Messenger....You have to take a shower first and then take Shahadah and believe in it...If you can go into a masjid and tell the IMam and he will help you take the Shahadah and have witnesses there as well...bt if it is really hard you can take the shahadah in your house with the help of websites and so forth which other brothers and sisters i'm sure will help you wit..

2. How do you become a good Muslim

Now, becoming a good Muslim, You have to be willing to learn about Islam...You have to pray 5 times a day..Prayer for us Muslims is a direct communication with Allah (S.W.T). This for you is a must...its the 2nd pillar of Islam... You fast during the months of Ramadan and other months as well if you want to but In Ramadan its a must..the reason we have this month is to feel the pain that others less fortunate than us feel everyday...Now, being a good Muslim we have to represent ourselves through speech, behaviour, and everything we do in our daily lives... We believe that Islam is a way of life..not jst part of life...in other words we live Islam..Believing in the last day is also one of the pillars of Islam as well as believing in the Books, the angels and everything that Allah S.W.T has created..giving charity to the poor is another pillar of Islam..Thease are the pillars of Islam..1.Shahadah 2. Salat(Prayer) 3. Belief in angels, book, messengers and last day. 4. Zakah..5.Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)...As you go through this forum you will learn alot more as many have the same questions you have and many have had them answered...

3. Does the Quran contain something similar to the Ten Commandments

I don't know about this so I will let someone else answer this...

4. Maybe a stupid question, but can anyone explain why is Islam beautiful?

As you go through this forum you will yourself begin to realize why Islam is beautiful...bt Islam reallyy why we seem to believe Islam is beautiful is because..Allah(S.W.T) tells us to treat each other equally..tells us to free the slaves, tells us to give charity to the poor, tells us to be thankful to our Lord as he is giving us everything, tells us to be strong no matter what calamity afflicts us as after hardship there is always relief, tells us that life is hard but the Hereafter is going to be good if we work for it inshallah...

1:293

“O boy! I will teach you words (so learn them). Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you, be mindful of Allah and He will be on your side. If you ask, ask Allah, and if you seek help, seek it from Allah. Know that if the Ummah gather their strength to bring you benefit, they will never bring you benefit, except that which Allah has decreed for you. Know that if they gather their strength to harm you, they will never harm you, except with that which Allah has decreed against you. The pens have been raised and the pages are dry.”

Allah (S.W.T) has helped us realize many things ...scientifically and generally that Islam helps us in many ways...

“Have We not made the earth as a bed, And the mountains as pegs? And We have created you in pairs. And We have made you sleep as a thing for rest. And We have made the night as a covering, And We have made the day for livelihood.” (Surah 78, 6-11)

“And among His signs is this that He created for you wives from among yourselves, that you may find repose in them, and He has put between you affection and mercy.” (30:21)

Surah Infitar
“A person will know what he has sent forward and left behind. O man! What has made you careless about your Lord, the Most Generous? Who created you, fashioned you perfectly, and gave you due proportion. In whatever form He willed, He put you together.” (Ayah 5-8)

I hope i have helped you ...I've tried..if I have offended you in any way forgive me it was highly unintentional and no you weren't ignorant and I hope I haven't said anything wrong..Salam
