A Mu'min performs all the outward deeds of Islam, and in addition to this fulfills all of the characteristics and requirements of a true believer. For example, our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you truly believes until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself" [Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

So a person who doesnt love for his brother what he loves for himself is considered a Muslim, but he has not attained the lofty status of a Mu'min.

An even higher level is Ihsan, which is "that you worship Allaah as if you see Him. And even though you do not see Him, He sees you." [Muslim]
