كَنْزُالأَطْفاَل
(The Children's Treasure)

Taught by: Umm Hyatt al-Ameriki  حفظها الله

LESSON # 11

Q 17)  مَا هُوالإحْسان؟ - What is Ihsaan?
أن تَعْبُدالله:
كَأنَّك تراه *
فإن لم تَكُن تراه فإنَّهُ يَراك *

Answer:  It is to worship Allaah as if you see Him and even if we don't see Him, know that He sees you. Ihsaan has to do with actions that are 'hasan' (good) and perfection within that action. So, Ihsaan is from perfecting your actions (if you made this action good). 

Sheikh A'ala Sheikh حفظه الله mentioned in his book with regards to the explanation of this hadeeth in 'Forty Hadeeth' that every Mu'min (believer), every servant has some level of Ihsaan. He mentioned that no action is considered correct except with the presence of Ihsaan. So, he said every Muslim has a level of Ihsaan.

  1. Salaam Alaikum wa rahmatullahi was barakaatuh. May Allaah azawajal reward you and your family with khair for the work of dawah you are doing amen. I had a question . Is there lesson 9 and 10 of the children's treasures notes? I printed the lessons but those too are not available. I am a brother posting this from Toronto. I just was putting this together as a booklet to teach it to my family.
    Jazak Allaahu khaira
