sister, did you read my post? I just told you the difference.

A Muslims believes, but doesn't necessarily try to be pious. A Mu'min is pious.

So the example of a Muslim would be someone who believes that God is one, and believes in Islam. But he doesn't pray except in Ramadan, doesn't give zakah, does a lot of sins, doesn't read Qur'an regularly etc...
A Mu'min has more taqwa, and does righteous deeds while refraining from evil ones.

Every Mu'min is a Muslim, but not every Muslim a true Mu'min.

So there is no difference between a muslim and believer ? So does muslim mean a believer ? My friends said there was a difference ??

And a muslim is one who doesnt pray except in Ramadan , doesnt give zakah (charity right) does a lot of sins and doesnt read Quran regularly?

Im confused ? Does that mean if you pray all the time and give charity all the time and only a few sins and read Quran you are definitely a mu'mim ?

How long does it take to be better rank, what steps do you need to do to jump from muslim to mumim to the next level ?
