Holy Qu'ran : Chapter 55 : Ar-Rahman ( Most Gracious ) - Recitation With English Translation

3.Ihsan

'Ihsan, means worshipping Allah, as though one sees Him; that is, a Muslim must be conscious of Allah and should know that He sees him wherever he may be. This is the best and highest level a Muslim can reach.


Consequently, we may say, not every Muslim is Mu'min ( a believer) Not every believer is Muhsin ( who has reached the level of Ihsan)

2. Eeman

'Eeman is the second level of deen, which consists of six articles that  is to believe in Allah, and to believe in His angels, His Books, His Messengers, and to believe in the Final Day, and in believe in the Qadha & Qadar and in its good and bad consequences.'

* Al-Qadha' signifies a general decree of Allah, as that every living being shall die; whereas al-Qadar signifies a particular decree of Allah, or the execution of the Qadha', as that certain person shall die at particular time and place.

 The Qadar is foreordaining things by Allah before their occurrence, and recording them in the Preserved Tablet.

The Levels of Deen

The Arabic term ' Deen' is usually translated into 'religion'. 'Religion' in Western terminology as opposed to the term, 'Deen' in Islamic terminology means a way of  spending an hour or so on Sundays to listen to a sermon in a church.The word 'Deen', commonly refers to Islam as a whole way of life. It is all in one- theological dogma, acts of worship,political practice,and a detailed code of conduct, including the hygiene or etiquette. Hence, it is preferable to refer to Islam as 'Deen' instead of religion.

First Pillar of Islam is Shahada ( Confession of a Muslim)

"La ila ha illallah Muhammadur Rasulullah "( "There is no true god except Allah,and Muhammad (pbuh) is His Messenger")


(pbuh) = Peace be upon him.
