Question:
In his final question in his letter, he asks: What is the difference between Islam and faith? And which of the two is broader and more comprehensive?
Answer:
Islam consists of the outward pillars: establishing the testimonyJami` at-Tirmidhi 2609Sahih (Darussalam), performing Hajj to the House of Allah. These are the outward pillars. As for faith, it is what is in the heart and is not outward. Its pillars are six: faith in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and faith in the divine decree, its good and its evil. It is necessary for faith and Islam to come together; the Muslim must be a believer, and the believer must be a Muslim. One cannot be a believer without Islam, nor a Muslim without faith, except for the hypocrite. The hypocrite, may Allah protect us from him, is a Muslim but not a believer, because in his outward appearance and the acts of worship he performs, he is a Muslim, but he has no faith in his heart. Yes.
