The third level: Ihsaan. It has one pillar: “to worship Allah as if you see Him, since even though you do not see him, He certainly sees you” And the proof is His saying: «Truly, Allah is with those who keep their duty unto Him, and those who are Muhsinoon» (Qur'an 16:128). Also His saying: «And put your trust in the All-Mighty, the Most Merciful, who sees you (O Messenger) when you stand up (alone at night for prayers), and your movements among those who fall prostrate (along with you to Allah in the five compulsory congregational prayers). Verily! He, only He, is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower» (Qur'an 26:217-220). Likewise His saying: «Whatever you (O Messenger) may be doing, and whatever portion you may be reciting from the Qur`aan, - and whatever deed you people may be doing (good or evil), We are a Witness, when you are doing it. » (Qur'an 10:61).
The Third Level: Ihsaan
It is the highest level of the religion and it has one pillar under which ****** two levels:
| Worship of Mushaahada (As if one sees Him) out of love, desiring, and yearning for that which is with Allah. For example: the worship of the Prophets and Messengers (peace be upon them). It is possible for other than them to reach this level as well. Note: This does not mean that the one who worships Allah in this manner does so only out of love and does not fear Him. However, in this level, the strongest urge that drives the slave of Allah to worship is the love of Allah -The Perfect, The Most High-. The Prophet–may Allah praise him and send him peace- said: “Shouldn't I be a thankful servant” (Bukharee and Muslim). | Muraaqaba (Of the one who knows that he's being observed). It is a worship out of fear and fleeing. A Muslim does not go outside of this circle. |
