The 3rd level of Islam is the IHSAN
IHSAN
This is the science of self purification, and this is the subject covering the inner aspects of the Deen al Islam.
Its root lies in the subject of Tasawwuf or Sufism.
The subject entails following a Spiritual Guide, and for AHLU-L-FAYDAH FOUNDATION for PEACE and PROSPERITY, it belongs to the Pristine Path or Tariqah Tijaniyyah under the Spiritual Guidance of the Khatmi-l-Katmi, Sayyidina Shaykh Ahmad Tijani of Fe’s, Radhi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu and his Inheritor the Gawthu Zaman and Sahibu-l-Faydah, Shaykh Alhaji Ibrahim Niass al-Kaolackhy, RTA.
The diagram below summarizes this stage of Remain, the 2nd stage or level of Islam. This stage is also explained in the 2nd Hadith of Al-Nawawi mentioned earlier.
This is followed by the 3rd Stage or level .
Pls use this immediately before the diagram on Eeman.
Concerning this stage of Ihsan, a reference was also made in the same 2nd Hadith of Al-Nawawi. It states that IHSAN is to worship Allah as though you see Him, and even if you cannot see Him, yet He sees you.
This is the meaning according to The Common Folks. For the Elites, it carries far deeper meanings.
May Allah grant us Tawfeeq and _Najah_aamin.
And whatever good ye send forth for your souls ye shall find it in Allah’s Presence,- yea, better and greater, in Reward and seek ye the Grace of Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
