The Difference Between Islam and Faith
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I read that the head of the matter is Islam. What is the difference between Islam and faith? And which comes first in the noble verse, Islam or faith?[Al-Hujurat 49:14]
Answer:
Yes, Islam is broader; it includes the hypocrite. The hypocrite is considered a Muslim in appearance. So Islam is broader and more inclusive, whereas faith is more specific. Every believer is a Muslim, but not every Muslim is a believer. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah bless you.
