Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Abu Layla : Shaykh, what is the difference between 'aqidah and faith?
The Shaykh : There is no difference. The word "faith" (iman) is the term used in the Sunnah and the Qur'an. 'Aqidah is the scholars' term for this faith. Is that clear?
Abu Layla : It is clear, my Shaykh. May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : And you as well.
Abu Layla: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
