Do not be ungrateful!
The believer is beautiful, inwardly and outwardly, as he seeks closeness to Allah through his beauty. Also, Allah Almighty loves beautiful words, manners, and deeds, as He loves His servants to beautify their tongues with truthfulness, their hearts with sincerity, repentance, and reliance upon Him, their body organs with obedience and worship, and to beautify their bodies by showing Allah’s favors upon them in terms of fine clothing and cleanliness and purification.
The believer knows his Lord through His beauty and worships Him according to the magnificence existing in His Shariah and religion.
When the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions:
“Anyone who has an atom’s weight of arrogance in his heart will not enter Paradise.”A man said: “One likes his clothes to be fine and his shoes to be fine.”Thereupon, he (may Allah ’s peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance is to reject the truth and despise people.”
[Narrated by Muslim]
O Allah, endow us with beauty in this world and in the Hereafter, give us inward and outward beauty, and make our words and deeds beautiful, O Lord of the worlds!
