That’s correct! In Islamic ethics, Ihsan (إحسان) is considered the highest level of worship and moral excellence. It encompasses:
1. Quality and excellence in actions
2. Moral and spiritual perfection
3. Kindness and compassion beyond obligation
4. Justice and fairness
5. Awareness of God’s presence (Taqwa)
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) described Ihsan as “worshipping Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then know that He sees you.” (Hadith, Sahih Bukhari)
Ihsan is considered the pinnacle of Islamic ethics, where individuals strive to excel in their deeds, intentions, and character, seeking to please Allah and attain spiritual growth.
