The Difference Between Islam and Faith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Sari 'Abdullah from al-Hafar al-Batin says: Is every Muslim a believer? And is every believer a Muslim? What is the difference between the two?

Answer:
Every believer is a Muslim, for faith (iman) is broader than Islam. Every believer is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is a believer, because there may be hypocrites (munafiqun) who are Muslims in appearance but not Muslims in reality. This is the difference between Islam and faith. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
