# Muhsin

Muhsin (also spelled Mohsen, Mohsin, Mehsin, or Muhsen, Arabic: محسن) is a masculine Arabic given name. The first person known to have the name "Muhsin" was Muhsin ibn Ali, the son of Ali ibn Abi Talib and Fatimah bint Muhammad.

## Islamic term

In Arabic, it means "the one who beautifies or improves or enriches, particularly one's worship of or relationship with God, or one's actions or conduct toward others" and can mean helper, attractive, beneficent, benefactor, and charitable.

The word Muḥsin is the active participle of either ʾiḥsān "excellence of God's worship" (last of the three stages after ʾislām "submission to God's will" and ʾīmān "faith in God's word") or ʾaḥsān, act of kindness or favor or good will for someone.
