When all of existence becomes a mirror for God, every place becomes sacred, every voice becomes revelation, every face becomes a reflection of God—making every moment a chance to witness the Divine and to be witnessed by the Divine. Whereas islam focuses on outer actions, and iman focuses on inner certainty, ihsan is the world of intention, where all that we do is for the sake of God alone. As the Prophet said, “Actions are rewarded in accordance with their intentions,”18 meaning that the more sincere our intentions, the more valuable our actions of submission to the will of God become.
