bas. Maulana, agla sawal Mumbai se hai Mahbub Sahab ka. unhon ne likha hai can you elaborate more on Al-ihsan. ihsan jo hai amal hi ka aala darja hai. agla agla darja hai. amal mani ke hote hain karna. ihsan ka matlab hai ziyada behtar tor par karna. bas yahi matlab hai. to kisi bhi cheez ko ziyada achhe tareeqe se aap karein to woh ihsan ho jayega. aur sirf karein to woh amal hoga. to yeh momin ki aik sifat hai ke chunke is ka concern sachai hota hai, is ka concern Allah ki qurbat hota hai, to aur ziyada behtar karne ki koshish karta hai.

aur ziyada behtar karne ki koshish karta hai. to mominana spirit jo hai woh aap ko Muslim bana deti hai. yani aur ziyada achha karne ka jazba paida hota hai aap ke andar. bas itni hi hai. is mein koi mysterious baat nahin hai. Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ka. unhon ne likha hai God is all powerful and a source of great conviction, but we need to reach the last level of helplessness to receive His help.
