LessonsThe Hadith of Jibril: Islam, Iman, Ihsan, and the Signs of the Hour (Account 1)Quiz

The reply about Islam names foundational acts, while the reply about Iman names foundational beliefs. This teaching distinction highlights two emphases:

Islam — outward declaration and practices: testimony, prayer, zakat, fasting, and Hajj.
Iman — inward assent to Allah, angels, scriptures, messengers, the Last Day, and decree.
