Iman aur Islam - Faith and Submission - Dr Israr Ahmad

This lecture clarifies the distinction between *Iman* (faith) and *Islam* (submission). True faith necessitates heartfelt conviction (*tasdiq bil-qalb*), not merely verbal profession (*iqrar billisan*). The speaker explains that simply declaring faith, as the Bedouins did, is not sufficient; genuine faith must permeate the heart. Accepting Islam—the outward declaration and practice—is the first step, but inner faith is achieved through sincere belief and conviction. The lecture emphasizes that one can become a Muslim through declaration, but becomes a *momin* (believer) through the heart's acceptance of God. It highlights that birth into a particular religion does not automatically grant faith; it requires individual conviction and submission to God.
