Quran- Deen Vs Millah
An-Nahl – 16:123
Arabic
ثُمَّ أَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡكَ أَنِ ٱتَّبِعۡ مِلَّةَ إِبۡرَٰهِيمَ حَنِيفًاۖ وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُشۡرِكِينَ
Aal-e-Imran – 3:19
Arabic
إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمُۗ وَمَا ٱخۡتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعۡدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلۡعِلۡمُ بَغۡيًۢا بَيۡنَهُمْۗ وَمَن يَكۡفُرۡ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلۡحِسَابِ
What is the difference between these two terms?

Both signify the same.
The following article may help understand it.

I read this as well: https://www.islamiqate.com/2890/what-is-the-meaning-of-the-arabic-term-millah . So if I understand correctly- millah signifies the rules of a deen- and deen within it contains millah and the fundamental beliefs right? @Irfan76

The whole Deen. beliefs and practices. The missing or corrupted practices are revived with the help of Wahi.

Sorry this is confusing. It just seems they are synonyms. If millah means the whole deen then deen means the whole millah. If they are synonyms why did God use one word sometimes and the other one other times?

in fact there is no restriction to use different words for the same thing or concept. This is another debate why God uses different words for the same thing or concept.

Yes that’s what I’m trying to get at. Why did he do that?

I am not sure about that.
