Praise be to God, Lord of the worlds, a great, good and blessed praise to Him, filling the heavens and filling the earth, and filling whatever else our Lord wills. He guided the people of His obedience to His straight path, and taught the number of breaths of His creatures with His ancient knowledge. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone with no partner, and I bear witness that our master, the crown of our heads, the apple of our eyes, and the joy of our hearts, Muhammad, is His servant and Messenger. May God bless and bless him and his family. and his companions, and those who follow them in good deeds until the Day of Judgment, and after:
God Almighty is beautiful and loves beauty. Every beauty in existence is the result of His creation and the marvelous nature of His creation. Beauty is not in the adornment of clothes or the glitter of gold. Rather, true beauty is the beauty of the soul, the perfection of behavior, the elevation of aspirations, and the purification of the heart. Whoever has a chest that is spacious for creation, and whose relationship with the universes around him is pure and sweet, will see everything around him harmonious and ordered, and the entire universe will become a beloved home. The beautiful soul does not search for faults and slips, nor It lurks for mistakes and faults. Rather, it begins its journey with good thoughts, seeking excuses, and achieving kindness. A person’s beauty begins with his taste, etiquette, and sophistication in dealing with others in the event of agreement or disagreement with them. He becomes a creation that walks on the earth, and a light that takes shape in actions, so he appears beautiful, and sees the existence around him as beautiful.
O honorable one, have you ever contemplated the secret of beauty in the divine statement? Have you realized that the revelation links beauty with areas of patience, abandonment, and forgiveness? Do you not see in this what teaches you that true beauty is not experienced in moments of prosperity and comfort, but rather is experienced in places of distress, the intensity of emotion and the eruption of feelings? Do you realize that your spiritual station is to refine and raise yourself above the temptations of anger and the machinations of the soul? Isn’t this beauty required of you with extra effort, greater endurance, and sincerity in your actions? Intention, until you rise in the ascents of this honorable statement: “And indeed, you are of great creation.”
O honorable one, if you want to see existence as beautiful, then you must strive diligently to build bridges of reconciliation and benevolence, and avoid secluding yourself in the corner of quarreling. Affection is planted by giving and giving, watered by visiting, asking, and praying, and is reaped by always united hearts and compassionate souls. Beauty is manifested in your cooperation with your neighbor, comforting your colleague, and helping those who differ with you in opinion or approach, so that dissimilarity does not turn into drought, and disagreement does not turn into hatred. And quarreling, so be the guide to familiarity and the initiator of goodness, so that the sublime purpose desired by the Most Gracious will be achieved in your life, and then you will have applied beauty in speech and in mind, in confirmation of what was stated in the decisive revelation of great proof: “And speak to the people good.”
O honorable ones, know that the greatest beauty lies in containing the one who disagrees, disciplining oneself to be kind, beautifying oneself with patience and forbearance, and abandoning haste in responding urgently. Do not burden people by forcing them to follow your words, and do not force them to follow your actions. Rather, meet everyone who disagrees with you with an open face. Let your advice be light and calm and presented with gentleness. And know that respecting the opinions of others is a religious duty. Do not underestimate the point of view of the opponent, and do not exalt the beauty of your right or With the light of your faith, and if you have the opportunity to give a gift, even a simple one, do so. Affection is acquired through good treatment and kindness in situations, and know that fairness is the essence of faith. If the truth appears with your opponent, accept it and acknowledge it with courage, and if he accepts advice from you, thank him and do not begrudge him. Before your eyes appears the icon of the state of recitation, where sophisticated dealings appear, with different tastes and visions, so that you see beauty present in every scene and in every situation. Verse, so you have no choice but to say: “God is beautiful and loves beauty,” and O Creator of this beauty, Glory be to You.
