Al-Jameel
The Beautiful
He is the One Who possesses absolute beauty in His Self, names, attributes and actions. Any beauty in His creation comes from Him.
This noble name occurs in the Hadīth in which the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said about his Lord, “Allah is Beautiful and loves beauty.”[1] In light of this noble name, I would say:
- If a person remembers and recalls the absolute beauty of his Lord, his love to Allah, longing for meeting Him and the desire to strive for looking at Him will increase. Indeed, the believers will be given nothing greater than looking at Allah Almighty in Paradise.
- Seek closeness to the Beautiful Lord through the beautiful words, deeds and manners that are pleasing to Him. He is Beautiful and He loves that His servants beautify themselves through purification, outward and inward.
