peace Natu,
The difference you speak of is rooted in the difference between 'muslim' & 'mumin' in my opinion.
To me, this is still one of the most powerful realisations I have had since returning to al-quran. A study of this specific aspect should be a must for every Muslim in the world, and I cannot over-emphasise that enough.
Once this concept is appreciated, I truly believe it leads to a revolution of thought, as it did to me.
Here is a reasonable article on it

Map on the other hand shows you where the hills and valleys are. But how you decide to travel to these destinations is completely up to you. You could take the route that map shows you or you could strike out on your own and find your own route and in the process of doing so "discover" a new "destination" or perhaps or a better route that is suited to you...
But thats just it, the map does show you everything. It doesn't show you a specific route. It gives all the possible routes and even shows where there are no roads. I'm not talking about a map that with a line and x marks the spot. I'm talking about a regular map. You can figure out where you are, where you want to go and a variety of ways to get there.Peace
