Question:
What is the difference between the Muslim and the believer?
Answer:
The Muslim is broader in scope than the believer. The Muslim is the one who enters Islam, and he may have weak faith. As for the believer, he is the one who has strong faith; he has Islam, and he has strong faith in Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Also included in the category of the Muslim is the one who enters Islam outwardly, seeking thereby the worldly benefits and living among the Muslims. The rulings of Islam are applied to him, and he is called a Muslim, but he is not a believer; he is not a believer. So between them there is a relationship of generality and specificity. Yes.
