"...AND DO GOOD. OF COURSE, ALLAH LOVES THOSE WHO DO GOOD." (SURAH AL-BAQARAH:195)
This verse encourages Muslims to do everything nicely. 'Doing something nicely', which has been referred to as 'Ihsan' in the Holy Quran, is of two kinds, the first pertains to Ibadat (acts of worship), the second to social transactions and behaviour.
Rasool Allah (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) has defined Ihsan in Ibadah, in the Hadith of Jibrail, as "worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and if you can not attain that degree of Ihsan, then you should, at the least believe that Allah Ta'alah is seeing you."
In relation to social transactions and dealings the Holy Prophet SAW has explained Ihsan by saying (as reported in the Musnad of Ahmad on the authority of the noble Companion Mua'adh) that "you should like for others what you like for yourselves, and in the same manner, you should dislike for others what you dislike for yourselves". (Mazhari)
