Usage notes

Though دِيَانَة‎ (diyāna) and دِين‎ (dīn) both mean "religion," they are not synonymous. دِيَانَة‎ (diyāna) generally refers to the particular religion or denomination a person adheres to (i.e., one's religious affiliation), whereas دِين‎ (dīn) refers to "religion" in a more general or abstract sense.
