WHAT IS THE DEFINATION OF EHSAAN 7:161………

The split mountain in Ma'alula for a Momin girl

(161) And when it was said unto them: Dwell in this township and eat there from whence ye will, and say “Repentance,” and enter the gate prostrate; We shall forgive you your sins; We shall increase (reward) for the right-doers.

وَإِذ قِيلَ لَهُمُ ٱسكُنُواْ هَـذِهِ ٱلقَريَةَ وَلُواْ مِنهَا حَيثُ شِئتُم وَقُولُواْ حِطَّةٌ وَٱدخُلُواْ ٱلبَابَ سُجَّدًا نَّغفِر لَكُم خَطِيٓـَٔـتِم سَنَزِيدُ ٱلمُحسِنِينَ (١٦١)

007.161 
YUSUFALI: And remember it was said to them: “Dwell in this town and eat therein as ye wish, but say the word of humility and enter the gate in a posture of humility: We shall forgive you your faults; We shall increase (the portion of) those who do good.”

PICKTHAL: And when it was said unto them: Dwell in this township and eat therefrom whence ye will, and say “Repentance,” and enter the gate prostrate; We shall forgive you your sins; We shall increase (reward) for the right-doers.

SHAKIR: And when it was said to them: Reside in this town and eat from it wherever you wish, and say, Put down from us our heavy burdens: and enter the gate making obeisance, We will forgive you your wrongs: We will give more to those who do good (to others).

TAFSEER (translated from Farhat Hashmi’s taleem ul Quran)
Allah SWT said to the Children of Israel through Moses (AS) If you enter from this door (of this city or mosque), in a state of humility (prostrating) I will forgive all your sins and I will give more to those who do ehsaan (translated above as “right doers, those who do good”)

What is the definition of Ehsaan?

There are two types of ehsaan:
1.    Ehsaan towards Allah.
This is described as:  when we worship Him, our sensitivity of awareness should be such as if we are standing in front of Him.

2.    Ehsaan towards fellow human beings which is comprised of two parts:
a)    Doing good: To help someone when that person is needy, to fulfill his or her need at the time of need. Elsewhere in the Quran, Allah SWT says “He who fulfills another person’s need, Allah fulfills his need”
Hadith: Until a person does not help his fellow human beings, Allah SWT does not help him.

b)     Do not hurt the other person

Mohsineen are those people who do Ehsaan

My take:
The status of Mohsineen is what we all should aspire for, which is the highest level of a believer.
