Islam -> Iman -> Ihsan

Assalamualaikum :)

I have been listening to Bayyinah Podcasts (http://podcast.bayyinah.com/category/002-surah-al-baqarah/page/26/) and here are some things I'd like to share.

That definition (of ihsan) comes from the Hadith of Gabriel in which Muhammad states, "[Ihsan is] to worship God as though you see Him, and if you cannot see Him, then indeed He sees you". (Al-Bukhari and Al-Muslim).

The Six Articles of Faith

Faith (iman) is generally outlined using the six articles of faith:

1. Belief in Allah, The Only God
2. Belief in the Angels
3. Belief in Holy Books (Quran)
4. Belief in the Prophets
5. Belief in the Day of Judgement
6. Belief in God's predestination

From Surah Al-Baqarah:

1. Faith in the Messenger Nabi Muhammad s.a.w.

2. Believe in Allah

3. Believe in the Last Day and the Afterlife (akhirat)

4. Doing good deeds (act righteously)

Alhamdulillah. Have a wonderful day. :)
