Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is an Egyptian resident in Riyadh who says: What is the difference, O Shaykh, between faith and Islam?
Answer:
Faith is in the inner aspect and Islam is in the outer aspect; faith is in the heart and Islam is in the outward actions. Both must be present, so Islam and faith must coexist. Faith is not valid without Islam, and Islam is not valid without faith. They are inseparable. Islam consists of the five pillars: establishing the prayer, paying the zakah, fasting Ramadan, and performing Hajj to the House of Allah the Exalted,[Ali 'Imran 3:97] the five outward pillars. As for faith, it is in the heart and consists of six pillars: faith in [An-Nisa 4:136] and faith in the divine decree, its good and its evil. So Islam and faith must coexist, outwardly and inwardly. Yes.

May Allah reward you and bless you,
