The basic things have been encapsulated in the following hadith:
Narrated Abu Huraira: One day while the Prophet (ﷺ [‘ALLAH bless him and grant him salvation’]) was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel) Gabriel came and asked, “What is faith?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, ‘Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to believe in Resurrection.” Then he further asked, “What is Islam?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan.” Then he further asked, “What is Ihsan (perfection)?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you.”
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī, Beliefs (Book 2), Ḥadīth 43

Assalamu alaikum,As a Muslim, I believe in the fundamental aspects of the religion—Faith (Iman), Practice (Islam), and Spiritual Excellence (Ihsan). My question is: If someone wants to learn and understand the religion properly and systematically, what books, sources, or methods should they follow?

Hmm, but which school of thought should be followed, and does it have an organized literature that can be studied?In my view, regarding the Farahi school of thought, how can one properly learn the fundamentals of their ideas?

It would be a long journey then.
Start by reading the book Meezan, and listen to its lectures.

“Hmm, I have already read the book Meezan when I consciously accepted Islam, and now I intend to listen to the lectures.”
