Note: Allah Judges Hearts, Not Appearance

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful
💌 Alhamdulillah throughout my travels and studies at the different schools I've been to, I've seen various types of beauties from a multitude of countries. Regardless of one's nationality, whether Filipino, Palestinian, Jordanian, Nicaraguan, Brazilian, Bengali, Pakistani, Indian, Lebanese, Malay, Thai, Kenyan, Turkish, Russian, Senegalese, Somali or Afghani, or if you're a wonderful mix of several nationalities say half-Syrian half-Saudi or half-Egyptian half-Japanese, you're beautifully unique.
Whether your nose is pointy and long, or short and cute, whether you have a small or wide forehead, naturally thin or dark eyebrows, narrow or full and pouty lips, dimples or freckles, if your eyes are big and gorgeous or oriental-like and squinted, whether you're slim, plump, beefy, chubby or athletic, and whatever is the color of your eye pupils and skin tone, you're a remarkably beautiful soul so long as your heart is pure, free from arrogantly assuming you're way more good-looking than others and devoid of negative qualities like envy, selfishness and suspecting people's intentions.
Another aspect that magnifies your inner beauty, besides good character, is confidence or self-esteem, accompanied by genuine gratitude to Allah the Almighty for the blessings He gave you. Your face may not look as perfectly proportioned or stunning as a celebrity who has done cosmetic surgery, but Alhamdulillah at least Allah granted you the ability to see, hear, speak and distinguish between right and wrong. Not only that but Allah guided you to the truth Islam, which is a privilege not given to everyone in the universe.
Without Allah's Love, without Islam and without noble manners and sincerity, a pretty face is nothing except a canvas of art portrayed to conceal a soul that currently feels empty.
📖 Abu Huraira RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Verily, Allah does not look at your appearance or wealth, but rather He looks at your hearts and actions."
