Faith
imani is the standard, well-established term, shared as Islamic vocabulary for religious belief generally (as in the Five Pillars’ ‘iman’). Risk: readers may hear ‘imani’ as confessional religious identity or intellectual assent to a creed rather than Romans’ sense of personal, saving trust in Christ specifically; context must make the object of faith explicit throughout.
