The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a difference between al-din and al-millah? Because we observe that al-din is attributed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while al-millah is attributed to Ibrahim (peace be upon him), as in the morning and evening supplications?
The Shaykh:
Al-millah is also attributed to Muhammad: the millah of Muhammad, the din of Muhammad, the shari'ah of Muhammad. There is nothing wrong with that. Yes.
The questioner:
We say, Honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Because he brought it and conveyed it.
