Ihsan – Quran 16:90
What’s the difference between ikhlass and ihsan then? And what does ihsan then have to do with giving extra to a person you have lent money from? Wouldn’t the ihsan simply be to make sure that you have given the full money and you didn’t try to cheat or find a way out of paying?
Other than what Ghamidi sb wrote, the Quran seems to convey that Ihsan means doing more than what is required. It refers to all the Prophets and Anbiya as Muhsineen. Then the way Allah stresses His love for the muhsineen in the Quran “wallahu yuhhibul muhsineen” is unparalleled. Al Raghib al Isfahahi, the Arabic literary scholar (author of Mufradat ul Quran) defines Ihsan as “giving more and expecting less than what is due.” Thats why I asked about Adl and Qist in reference to Ihsan. I think that might solve it.
