Ihsan

Ihsan is a matter of taking one's inner faith (iman) and showing it in both deed and action, a sense of social responsibility borne from religious convictions.

[1] In Islam, Ihsan is the Muslim responsibility to obtain perfection, or excellence, in worship, such that Muslims try to worship God as if they see Him, and although they cannot see Him, they undoubtedly believe that He is constantly watching over them.

It is generally held that a person can only achieve true Ihsan with the help and guidance of God, who governs all things.

Furthermore, a Muslim who believes in all the principles of Islam may not necessarily be a righteous person, a doer of good (muhsin), but a truly good and righteous person is both a Muslim and a true person of faith.Some Islamic scholars explain ihsan as being the inner dimension of Islam whereas shariah is often described as the outer dimension.

For example, ihsan includes sincerity during Muslim prayers and being grateful to parents, family, and God.
