Summary of the concepts of Ahl al-Sunnah

The meaning of Iman and Islam when mentioned together and when mentioned separately
0:14
The concept of Iman and Islam falls under the famous principle
0:21
When they are mentioned together, they are distinct; when they are mentioned separately, they are unified.
0:25
This means that if the word Iman is coupled with the word Islam in a single verse or hadith,
0:33
then they become distinct in meaning.
0:36
The word Iman then refers to the inner faith of affirmation, submission, acceptance, and the beliefs of the heart.
0:45
And Islam refers to the outward faith manifested in the limbs and actions.
0:50
However, if they are mentioned separately,
0:53
for example, if the word Iman appears in a verse without being coupled with Islam, or vice versa,
1:00
then in that case, they both carry the same meaning.
1:04
It is faith and submission, both outwardly and inwardly.
1:08
An example of them being mentioned together:
1:11
Allah the Almighty says:
1:13
"The Bedouins say, 'We have believed.' Say, 'You have not [truly] believed; but say, 'We have submitted,' for faith has not yet entered your hearts.'" (Qur'an 49:14)
1:16
“The wandering Arabs say: We believe. Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Ye believe not, but rather say "We submit," for the faith hath not yet entered into your hearts. Yet, if ye obey Allah and His messenger, He will not withhold from you aught of (the reward of) your deeds. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.” (49:14)
1:24
And Allah the Almighty says:
1:26
“Lo! men who surrender unto Allah, and women who surrender, and men who believe and women who believe, and men who obey and women who obey, and men who speak the truth and women who speak the truth, and men who persevere (in righteousness) and women who persevere, and men who are humble and women who are humble, and men who give alms and women who give alms, and men who fast and women who fast, and men who guard their modesty and women who guard (their modesty), and men who remember Allah much and women who remember - Allah hath prepared for them forgiveness and a vast reward.” (33:35)
1:31
And an example of them being mentioned separately:
1:33
Allah the Almighty says regarding Iman:
1:36
“The (true) believers are those only who believe in Allah and His messenger and afterward doubt not, but strive with their wealth and their lives for the cause of Allah. Such are the sincere.” (49:15)
1:43
"Those are the ones who are truthful." (Qur'an 9:111)
1:48
"Those are the ones who are truthful." (Qur'an 9:111)
