Romans 10:9-10,

9. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

This, too, is part of the heart of all men that God will judge. There is nothing legalistic about an inward conviction. Legalism is the making use of the laws and rules to obtain salvation apart from faith in the Son of God.

It would be a strange Muslim indeed that confessed Jesus is Lord, that He is the Son of God, and that God raised Him from the dead.
