How would you feel if you know you are beloved by Allah?
"Allah loves the charitable" Quraan 2:195
وَأَنفِقُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلاَ تُلْقُواْ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَأَحْسِنُواْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
البقرة - الآية ١٩٥
البقرة - الآية ١٩٥
The original Arabic counterpart of the word 'charitable' in the verse above is 'Muhseneen', the people who do 'Ihsan'.
Who are the Muhseneen?
"One day the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him and his household) appeared before the public that a man came to him and asked: what does al-Ihsan imply? the Messenger of Allah replied: That you worship Allah as if you are seeing Him, and in case you fail to see Him, then observe prayer (with this idea in your mind) that (at least) He is seeing you." Sahih Muslim - The Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman)
The 'worship' in the context above doesn't only mean the obligatory prayer but rather means anything you do for the sake of Allah.
What would be the quality of your work when your appreciative boss is keeping a weather eye on you?
