Faith
ایمان (a core Arabic-derived Islamic theological term, one of the pillars of Islamic religious vocabulary) must have its object made explicit — personal trust in Christ specifically — since by Islamic default ایمان names confessional submission to Allah and his messengers as a system, not necessarily personal trust in a specific mediator’s atoning work.
