Sharia (Arabic: 'شريعة Šarīʿah) is the body of Islamic religious law. The term means "way" or "path to the water source". It is the legal framework within which the public and private aspects of life are regulated for those living in a legal system based on fiqh (Islamic principles of jurisprudence) and for Muslims living outside the domain. Sharia deals with many aspects of day-to-day life, including politics, economics, banking, business, contracts, family, sexuality, hygiene, and social issues.
Islamic law is now the most widely used religious law, and one of the three most common legal systems of the world alongside common law and civil law. During the Islamic Golden Age, classical Islamic law may have influenced the development of common law, and also influenced the development of several civil law institutions.

Do I Have To Change My Name
Change Of Name
There is no requirement in Islam to change your name when you embrace Islam. However it is better for you to have a Muslim name as well as it will be easier for others to identify you as a Muslim.
Choose a name that reflects your desire to lead a life in the way of Allah.
According to a tradition of the Prophet (pbuh), the best names in the sight of Allah are Abdullah (Slave of Allah) and Abdur Rahman (Slave of The merciful).

Do I Have To Register
Proof of Testimony
As proof of your status as a Muslim is required for certain things such as marriage or applying for a Hajj visa, it is better to register your testimony of faith.
You may do this in a mosque or with the appropriate organization in your country.
A certificate from the appropriate authority is the formal proof of your Muslim identity.

How Do I Become A Muslim
Testimony Of Faith
Becoming a Muslim is a lot easier compared to getting a VISA or a passport. You become a Muslim when you accept that there is no god to be worshipped except ALLAH and Muhammad is His final Messenger.
The Noble Qur'an and the traditions of the Prophet (pbuh) will be the basis of a Muslim's efforts to achieve the good life here and salvation in the Hereafter
