Question:
Shaykh, he says in the final section of his letter: Is there a difference between Islam and faith, or are they the same in meaning?
Answer:
There is a difference. Islam is the five outward pillars: the testimonySahih al-Bukhari 2157, the establishment of prayer, the payment of zakah, fasting Ramadan, and Hajj to the Sacred House of Allah for whoever is able to make the journey [Ali 'Imran 3:97]. This is Islam, the outward pillars. As for faith, it is belief in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and belief in the divine decree, its good and its evil. These are inward pillars. It is necessary for Islam and faith to come together; Islam is not valid without faith, and faith is not valid without Islam. It is necessary to combine them, outwardly and inwardly. Yes.
