Dear brother Joseph,
Salamun Alaikum.
I have read your article on the difference between mumin and muslim. It is pretty convincing. But after reading a verse a question arises in my mind. That is 3:102.
`O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as muslims.' (3:102)
As i understood from your article, believer is a better position. you said, `For example, one may be a Muslim but may not yet be a 'Mu'min' (believer) as true faith has not yet entered their hearts.' This is also supported by Quran.
My question is, why Allah asks believers to `die not except as muslims.'
Take Care.
Best Wishes for your here and hereafter.
