The Difference Between Islam and Faith

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is there a difference between Islam and faith?

Answer:
Islam is the outward actions, such as prayer, fasting, Hajj, and jihad, while faith is the inward actions in the heart. This is the fundamental principle. However, faith is also applied to actions, because faith consists of speech, action, and belief. Since it includes speech and action, action is part of faith. Yes.
