Ihsan

Literal meaning: From the word ḥasana, meaning good, beautiful, proper, or suitable.

General meaning: Benevolence, kindness, and doing good.

Technical meaning: Doing what is beautiful and striving for perfection in life.

The Concept of Iḥsān in the Qur’an and Hadith

The word Iḥsān appears 211 times in the Qur’an in different forms and meanings.

It shows that Iḥsān is not only the highest virtue, but also the sum of all virtues.

Many hadiths also explain Iḥsān, showing its importance in faith and good conduct.

Eschatology

Word meaning: From Greek – eschatos (last) and logia (discourse). It means “the study of the last things.”

General meaning: The study of what happens after death, including judgment, paradise, and hell.

In Arabic/Islamic terms: Eschatology is called al-Ākhirah (the Hereafter) or Aḥwāl al-Ākhirah (the situations of the Hereafter).

The Concept of Eschatology in the Qur’an and Hadith

This world will come to an end.

Human life will end, and all will die.

The dead will be resurrected.

Allah will judge everyone.

Every deed will be accounted for.

People will receive reward or punishment in the Hereafter.

Al-Qadar comes from qadara, meaning “knew, planned, or decided.” It refers to what Allah has already planned and written before things happen.

Al-Qada’ comes from qada, meaning “judged or carried out.” It is when what Allah planned actually happens.

4 Components of Qada’ and Qadar:

1. Knowledge : Allah knows everything. what happened, what is happening, what will happen, and what would have happened if it happened. Nothing is hidden from Him.

2. Writing – Allah has written everything in the Al-Lawh Al-Mahfuz.

3. Will – Whatever happens only happens by Allah’s Will. Nothing exists without His permission.

4. Creation – Allah created everything, even life and death.

Today I learned about the belief in the Hereafter :

Belief in life after death means believing that:

2. All people will be brought back to life for judgement

3. Everyone’s deeds will be shown to Allah SWT

4. Good people will be rewarded, and sinners will be punished

5. The successful will enter Paradise forever, and the condemned will go to Hell

Effects of Belief in the Last Day:

1. Shows Allah’s greatness and perfect power.

2. The biggest joy in Paradise will be seeing Allah.

3. Creates fear of Allah, knowing nothing is hidden from Him.

4. Encourages Muslims to do good deeds quickly.

3. Believing in the true reports that came from them.

Great blessings given to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ:

He was sent to all people and jinn, not just one group.

Allah gave him victory by putting fear in his enemies’ hearts.

The whole earth was made a place for prayer and a way to stay pure.

Ghanimah was allowed for him, unlike other prophets.

On the Day of Judgement, he will have the greatest syafaat.
