Ihsan And Extra Actions Of Wudu
Ghamidi sb mentioned in his video “Islam, Iman and Ihsan” that Ihsan is the desired level for us to reach. Some scholars have taken Ihsan to be the highest level, however it is the “only” Level, truly. I completely agree to this as this has a strong backing from the Quran itself. But Ihsan wouldn’t be extra, always. It would be, doing what is appropriate, when it is appropriate, in a way that it is appropriate. (Appropriate would be necessary, proper). According to Ibn Arabi. So sometimes, for us, not doing anything at all would be Ihsan as well if the situation demands it. For example refraining from saying that which is unnecessary (Laghw). Doing what is necessary and appropriate is to confirm to the Divine Order and conformity is unified action because it acknowledges the Reality of The One. And the pinnacle of Ihsan for us is Rasool Allah (saw) as he was a Walking Quran (hadith). But within Islam, Iman and Ihsan also there are different shades or levels. The highest you go, the more you get from Him.
Yes complete is the key word. Doing something on the level of Ihsan would make the action Complete. 👍
