The Maghrebi-French spelling of Iḥsān (إحسان), the highest of the three stations of the dīn (religion) in the celebrated hadith of Gabriel: islām (submission), īmān (faith), and iḥsān (excellence in worship). The Prophet ﷺ defined iḥsān as: 'that you worship Allah as if you see Him, for if you do not see Him, He surely sees you' (Muslim). The Quran uses the term to describe the highest form of right action: inna Allāha yuḥibbu al-muḥsinīn, 'indeed Allah loves those who do iḥsān' (2:195, 3:134, 5:13, 5:93).
A common boys' and girls' name (used as both) in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with the -e ending in the French-influenced spelling. Pair-names in Maghrebi families: Imane, Iman, Sihem, Nada. The -e final in Ihsane is purely orthographic (preserving the -ān sound through French rules), pronounced ee-SAHN.
Variants: Ihsan, Ihsaan, Ehsan (Persian), Ehsane. The masculine Ehsan / Ihsan is also widely used in Iran, Pakistan, and Central Asia.
