The reality of physical beauty

The beauty of a Muslim woman:
Is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair,
or the style she does make up.

The beauty of a Muslim woman:
Is be seen in her hijab, and her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,
the place where love resides.

The beauty of a Muslim woman:
is not in a facial mole,
but true beauty in a woman,
is reflected in her soul.

The beauty of a Muslim woman is in her modesty.
And the real glamour of her is her honesty.
It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
the passion that she shows.
And the beauty of a Muslim woman,
with passing years - only grows!

How to blow out a candle...

"My father,Shaykh Sayyid Ibrahim al-Yaqoubi (May Allah satisified with him) would observe every aspect of adab even when blowing the light off a candle.

He wouldnt blow or so say 'Uff' instead he would say "Ya Latif" to which the candle would go out.

Every aspect of his everyday life was dhikr."

- Shaykh Muhammad al-Yaqoubi Hafidahullah.

Beautiful.
