Method of embracing Islam

Q: If someone wants to revert to Islam, how do they take the shahadah? Kindly tell me those words (the shahdah) which one has to utter.

As far I know, it is like is, La ila ha illalahu mohammadur rasululah.

Are these words sufficient for the shahadah to again become a Muslim because it is basically called the first kalimah in Islam. Are there are some other words fro shahadah (for a person to again enter in Islam)?

People converting to Islam during the Qatar World Cup

Q: Reports are coming in that 558 people have converted to Islam during the Qatar World Cup so far. Some are using this as an argument to say that what they are doing is a good thing by hosting the tournament as it’s bringing people closer to Islam. They say that they’ve invited Islamic speakers (Dr. Zakir Naik) and have put up posters of Ahaadith and Azan on loudspeakers which will bring people to Islam (as shown by recent shahadahs).

Kindly comment on this.

Are so called "liberal Muslims" part of our Ummah?

Q:

1. Are so called "liberal/progressive Muslims" part of our ummah? They are people who want to reform Islam by giving permission to women to do azaan or to lead the prayer. Furthermore they consider hijab during prayer to be an act by choice and they pray beside the other gender, etc.

2. Is anyone who accepts this reform model part of the Islamic ummah? Accepting it by for example taking part in it.

Imaan of a person who passed away while supporting the LGBTQ+ movement publicly

Q: If someone asks me regarding Jesse Duarte...and I say she passed away a murtaddah in terms of shariah and if the claim that she read kalimah is true then it is Allah's perogative to forgive or punish her. Did I say the correct thing?

When I tell people she passed away a murtaddah, people tell me that I should not judge...but theres clear cut evidence she supported the LGBTQ+ movement publically in which she stated that we must change our thought process.

My father tells me that if anyone asks, I should say Allah knows best. According to senior Aalims they say that she passed away a murtaddah and if she repented, that is between Allah and her. Please advise respected mufti saheb.

Referring to Allah Ta'ala by saying bhagwaan

Q: One day I said Allah apke pese dilade… bhagwan apke pese dilade…

Although bhagwan is the word that Hindu's use for their God, but I said it just like that and to show Hindus that Muslims are not extremists and for brotherhood and soldiarity with them as banks ran out of money and collapased.

What is the ruling regarding it? Did I do something wrong and is it kufr? My intention was never to say bhagwan means Allah
