INNER BEAUTY
I do not say that external beauty is vanity, but again I have to use the word EXIT THE LIMIT.
I have always believed that inner beauty is the most important thing in life. I have noticed many times that people only judge each other based on their appearance, but how true is that? According to statistics, most people pay attention to appearance first. It can give us information about a person’s age, status, social status. Appearance can attract our attention and interest without knowing a person. Many people believe that external beauty is a guarantee of success in their career and personal life. Researchers say that beautiful people are more likely to have more opportunities and more attention to themselves than unattractive people. But how much does appearance really matter? Because beauty is not an eternal gift, it fades with time. And what about after that? I believe that real beauty is the inner state of a person. Inner beauty is character, worldview, moral and ethical principles. These qualities can shape the personality and make a person really attractive in the eyes of others. Inner beauty is a benefit that allows a person to be spiritually rich, to show love, kindness, compassion and support to others. Having inner beauty, can make a great impression on other people and be a source of inspiration for them. «So, what is more important, inner or outer beauty?». I think both are important, but each plays a different role in our lives. External beauty may attract attention, but it does not guarantee long-term relationship or career success. At the same time, inner beauty can determine how we relate to other people, how they treat us. Of course, appearance is also important, especially in our society, first impressions are very important. but I think the most important thing is to surround yourself with people who truly value you. inner beauty that allows for deep connection and impact on other people’s lives.
It’s important to remember that inner beauty doesn’t just happen, it requires work and development, a never-ending process, we must constantly improve ourselves, work on our character, and care for other people and the environment in order to become the best versions of ourselves, Inner beauty and outer beauty have their role in our life, I think it’s important to work on your inner beauty to be a spiritually rich person and show love, kindness, compassion and support to those around you. ultimately, it helps us create deep and meaningful relationships in life and leave a mark on the hearts of others. What do you think is more important – inner or outer beauty? one of the Russian classics said: «Everything in a person should be beautiful – his face, clothes, soul, and thoughts.» The relevance of this phrase is clearly visible today, its most complete expression can be found in Islam, where a person is commanded not only to avoid sinful thoughts and take care of the state of his soul, but also to observe the cleanliness and neatness of his body and clothes. It is said in the hadith that «Allah is beautiful and loves beauty.» However, sometimes these two aspirations in a person – spiritual beauty and external beauty – cannot be combined and become intertwined. Some people may think that external appearance is not so important, putting the beauty of the soul on a pedestal – good character, good intentions, forget about the clothes they wear, and do not pay attention to their external beauty, others, on the other hand, are too zealous about their appearance, adorn their bodies with the best clothes, make beauty an object of worship, and at the same time forget the state of their souls. But it should be remembered that these two sides, which determine the beauty of a person, are of different natures and cannot be opposed to each other, because each of them has its own value and meaning. If spiritual beauty gives a person qualitative values, it strengthens a person’s character, teaches patience and modesty, it can be the practical meaning of appearance – a Muslim with neat appearance, beautiful and clean clothes can create a positive image not only about himself, but also about the whole religion and leave a good impression on others, it is the combination of moral and aesthetic sides that defines the unified idea of Islam. Confirmation of this can be found in one of the hadiths, where Abu l-Ahwas al-Jashami said: «One day, the prophet saw me in old, torn clothes and asked about my financial situation. I answered that I am a very rich man. „What kind of wealth do you have?“, „All that Allah has given me are camels and sheep,“ I said to the prophet. „In that case, show me the generous favor given to you,“ he advised me in this regard» (narrated by Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Nisa’i).
Another example of beauty and exceptional morality is the example of Imam Abu Hanifah.
In addition to his high education, this scientist also paid a lot of attention to his appearance. It is known that he has a long beard, wears beautiful clothes, wears a turban and sandals.
Abu Hanifa’s voice was charming, distinguished by his eloquence, he often used perfume, and he recognized his appearance by his smell. therefore, the institutions of Islam not only forbid, but rather encourage one to adorn oneself in the best clothes, guided by the principle of moderation and the golden mean of not allowing extravagance, arrogance and pride. about this in the Qur’an: «O Lords of Mind, put on your clothes in the places where you prostrate to Allah. Eat and drink, but do not waste. For He does not love the wasteful. „Who forbade the adornment and the wonderful sustenance that God gave to His servants?“ as well. Say: „They are for those who believe in the life of this world, and only for them on the Day of Resurrection.“ This is how we explain our verses to a people who understand» (7:31) In Islam, special attention is paid to the beauty of a woman, who is hidden from the eyes like a pearl, but only at home, being the beauty and confidence of her husband’s eyes, showing all her light and beauty. Looking beautiful, wearing the best clothes, welcoming your husband with a kind smile and pleasing him with a pleasant mood are the pleasant duties assigned by Allah Almighty to Muslim women.
Islam attaches great importance to human beauty. God created man as the best and most beautiful. It is mentioned in the Holy Qur’an: «We have created man as the best». Surah At-Tin – «The Fig Tree», verse 4. In the Holy Qur’an, Allah commanded man to beautify himself and take care of his appearance. In the Holy Qur’an, Allah Almighty condemns those who forbid all the beautiful and permissible things that Allah Almighty has created in the world. This is evidenced by the words of Allah Almighty: O sons of Adam! Before every prayer and tawab, put on your best clothes, eat and drink, but do not transgress, verily, He does not love transgressors. Say: «Who prohibited the beautiful clothes and clean and halal food created by Allah? Say: „These graces are common to all in the life of this world, but they are only for the believers on the Day of Resurrection.“ This is how We explain the signs for the people of knowledge.» Surah «Agraf», verses 31—32. This does not lead to the conclusion that Islam does not care only about the appearance and beauty of a person. appearance. The most important beauty in Islam is the beauty of a person’s character and inner world. The beauty of human relationships and mutual help. Beauty can be external and internal, and it is clear from the history of Islamic civilization how important it is – it was the inner beauty of Muslims.
