Summary

As we embark on a ride with Shaykh Yasir Qadhi to delve deeper into the differences between Iman and Islam, we are intrigued by our realizations and this destroys all misconceptions one may have had before listening to this talk. Iman is something that exists in the heart and is manifested by the tongue and limbs. Islam and Iman are terms that can be synonymous but can also have specific meanings for each. We gather information that if Islam and Iman occur separately, then in reality they are synonymous. If they are listed together, then Iman is at a higher level than Islam and Ihsan is at an even higher level. Why does Allah mention only the increase of Iman in the Qur'an and not the decrease. Why is this so and what does Allah want to showcase through this? Watch the video as Shaykh Yasir puts a full stop to all or queries and misguided thoughts.

0:17.0	Oh, ah, ah, uh, uh, Allah I was so what was Sala al-Rassuilah who al-Aahale-I-I-Wahbihi woman-Wahamabad.
0:36.0	So yesterday we were discussing the reality of Iman, the definition of Iman, continuing from where we left off.
0:42.0	We had mentioned that Iman was something that existed in the heart and is manifested on the tongue and on the limbs.
0:49.0	And based upon that, we now today will discuss two separate issues. The first of them is what is the
0:56.0	relationship between iman and Islam? Because we know in the hadith of jubriil, the famous
1:01.3	hadith that all of us have memorized, we have learned it as school children,
1:04.8	that Jibrile came to the Prophet Allah O'Ali Sala al-Sallem and asked what is Islam,
1:09.2	and the response was the five pillars. Then he asked what is Iman and the response was to believe in
1:14.8	Allah and the angels in the last day the six pillars of Iman. Then he asked what is
1:18.9	Ih-Sahn. So the three levels of Iman of Islam, Iman and Ih Heh Hehain, they are mentioned in the Had levels of Iman of Islam Iman and Ih Heh San they are mentioned in the
1:24.4	hadith of Jibrile and sometimes we hear our scholars say that Iman is a higher level than Islam and Ih
1:33.2	Ih San is the highest level so they say Islam and then I'm man and then Ih
1:38.2	Ih San but this brings about confusion in many of us how can I Iman be a higher level when the pillars of Iman to believe in
1:46.2	Allah and the angels and the last day and judgment? These are necessary for all Muslims. How can
1:51.7	it be higher when it must be there? And
1:54.8	Allah says in the Quran, yeah you have a la deina a manu. Over 75 times Allah is
2:00.4	addressing those who have iman. Does this mean he's not addressing those who have iman.
2:02.8	Does this mean he's not addressing those who have Islam?
