Explaining the difference between Islam and faith, and that they diverge in the hypocrite.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So I return to emphasize: that Islam and faith do not diverge in the heart of the believer, but Islam may diverge from faith in the hypocrite, because he conceals disbelief in his heart while displaying Islam. It is for people like these that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) said: "Do not say, 'We believe'" [Al-Hujurat 49:14]. This is a completely explicit text that Islam is sometimes not accompanied by faith, and this is the case of the hypocrites. As for the true believer, he is a believer and he is a Muslim. Therefore, it came in some hadiths that confirm this meaning for us: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the believer is the one from whom people are safe regarding their wealth and their honor," or as he (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Here, Islam and faith are united in the same truly believing Muslim.
but say [instead], 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts
وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنَا وَلَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ
