ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Ihsan

Ihsan is when we do something really well and with kindness. Imagine if you were drawing a picture for your mommy, and you took your time and made the colors perfect and you did it because you love her - that would be ihsan.

Ihsan is also about being kind to other people, animals, and the earth. It's like when you share your toys with a friend or say please and thank you to your teacher - that's ihsan too.

When we do things with ihsan, we want to make the world a better place and please Allah. It's like we want to show Him that we are doing our best and we care about everything He has given us.
