Hadeeth of Jibreel
If one of them is mentioned on its own, the other one enters within it. If eemaan is mentioned on its
own, Islaam enters within it. If Islaam is mentioned on its own, eemaan enters into it, because Islaam will
not be correct without eemaan and eemaan will not be correct without Islaam. Both are essential.
They are inseparably linked, therefore they say: Islaam and eemaan are from those titles which when they

He sallallaahu`alaihi wa sallam said to Jibreel: «The one who is being asked about it does not know
any better than the one who is asking» Meaning: I and you are the same. We do not know when the Hour

Angels, the Messengers, nor anyone. Rather, He kept it secret in His Knowledge, He the Perfect and most
High.
