Bismihi Ta’ala

*Beautify your lifestyle(Part 2).*
*Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam said: “_Allah Ta’ala is beautiful, and He likes what is beautiful. Arrogance is to negate the truth and look down upon people_.”(Muslim)*
عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قالَ: «لا يَدْخُلُ الجَنَّةَ مَن كانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقالُ ذَرَّةٍ مِن كِبْرٍ» قالَ رَجُلٌ: إنَّ الرَّجُلَ يُحِبُّ أنْ يَكُونَ ثَوْبُهُ حَسَنًا ونَعْلُهُ حَسَنَةً، قالَ: «إنَّ اللهَ جَمِيلٌ يُحِبُّ الجَمالَ، الكِبْرُ بَطَرُ الحَقِّ، وغَمْطُ النّاسِ»مسلم
*After the prophets, the sahabahs ra are our models of beauty. Hazrat Abu Bakr ra lavishly spent from whatever he earnt in his business. The Noble Quran ear marked his remarkable generosity as a means of internal purification and beauty.*
سورة الليل (٩٢): الآيات ١٧ الى ١٨]وسَيُجَنَّبُها الأتْقى (١٧) الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مالَهُ يَتَزَكّى (١٨)
92:17] *_And the most God-fearing one(Abu Bakr) will be saved from hell fire_*, [92:18] *_The one who gives his wealth (in charity) to become purified*_, 
*So beauty is to spend moderately from whatever you earned, spend on your family, the poor family members, the poor muslims, the poor new Muslims and any human being.*
*A person working should beautify his day by waking up for tahajjud. Sahabahs used to wake up for tahajjud even during their business trip:*
سورة المزمل (٧٣): آية ٢٠]فاقْرَؤُا ما تَيَسَّرَ مِنَ القُرْآنِ عَلِمَ أنْ سَيَكُونُ مِنكُمْ مَرْضى وآخَرُونَ يَضْرِبُونَ فِي الأرْضِ يَبْتَغُونَ مِن فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وآخَرُونَ يُقاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فاقْرَؤُا ما تَيَسَّرَمِنهُ وأقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وآتُوا الزَّكاةَ وأقْرِضُوا اللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا
73:20*_Now, recite as much of the_* *_Qur‘an as is easy (for you). He knows that some of you may be sick, and others traveling in the land(business), seeking the grace_* of *_Allah, and yet others fighting in Allah‘s way*. *Therefore, recite as much of it as is easy. And establish Salah, and pay*_ *_Zakah, and advance to Allah a goodly loan.*_
*Beauty is to benefit yourself and your surroundings with your wealth accumulated with halaal earnings.*
*Furthermore, the beautiful path mark of Hazrat Umar bin Khatab ra  is to spare half of working hours  to seek knowledge of deen.*
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبّاسٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ، قالَ: كُنْتُ أنا وجارٌ لِي مِنَ الأنْصارِ فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وهِيَ مِن عَوالِي المَدِينَةِ وكُنّا نَتَناوَبُ النُّزُولَ عَلى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، يَنْزِلُ يَوْمًا وأنْزِلُ يَوْمًا، فَإذا نَزَلْتُ جِئْتُهُ بِخَبَرِ ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ مِنَ الوَحْيِ وغَيْرِهِ، وإذا نَزَلَ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَبخاري
*_Hazrat Umar ra made partnership with his neighbour to be able to spare time to learn deen by Rasouloullah Swalallahou Alaihi Wasallam_.*(_Bukhari)
*Beauty is to spare time to learn the deen of Allah Ta’ala. So decorate your lifestyle by diminishing your working hours and sit by Ulamas to learn the deen of Allah Ta’ala.*
