difference between a muslim, a mu'min, and a muhsin?

MohammedMaksudul

May Allah Forgive us
اسلام اليكم و الرحمت ا لله وا بركاته

As far as my little knowledge goes, the three level of Imaan is

1st a Muslim = A believer who acts upon the pillars of Islam but at the same time is neglectful of many commands such as to abstain from alcohol, smoking, lying, backbiting. And definitely is not committing any acts of shirk.

2nd is a Mu'min = A believer who is aware that Allah is watching and does everything for the Fear of Allah, for the Fear of punishment. He strives to abstain from all kinds of sins for the sake of being forgiven from Hell Fire.

3rd is a MUttaqi = A believer who does everything for the sake of satisfying Allah. That is this type of believer has crossed the level of a Mu'min and now follows Islam not just for the fear of Allah but to satisfy Allah.

4th is a Muhsin = The Highest level of a believer, who does everything for the Love of Allah. He not justs follow Islam for the fear or only to satisfy but has become a Pure Lover of Allah.

Please brothers and sisters feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

JazakAllahu Khairan.
 
The highest level is the muqarribun ( those nearest to Allah)

( أُولَٰئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ )

الواقعة (11)

Those are the ones brought near [to Allah]

( فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ )
