Iman & Islam

Iman was defined by the Holy Prophet (pbuh) as:
• That you affirm your faith in Allah,
• in His Angels,
• in His Books,
• in His Apostles,
• in the Day of Judgment, and
• you affirm your faith in the Divine Decree about good and evil.

And Islam was defined as:
• to testify (Tawheed),
• prayers (Salat),
• charity (Zakat),
• to fast in Ramadan,
• pilgrimage (Hajj)


+ Ihsan "constitutes the highest form of worship" (ibadah). It is excellence in work and in social interactions. For example, ihsan includes sincerity during Muslim prayers and being grateful to parents, family, and God.
