Fruits for the Week

Muslim reports from Ibn Mas'ud (RA) that the Prophet (SAAS) said: “No one who has even a weight of pride in his heart will enter Paradise.” A man asked him, “What if he likes his clothes and shoes to look good?” (Meaning, is this counted as pride?) The Prophet (SAAS) said: “Allah is beautiful and loves beauty. Pride means denying the truth and looking down on other people.

Good appearance

The true Muslim takes good care of his clothes, so you will see him presenting a pleasant appearance, without being extravagant. He is pleasant to look at and meet and does not annoy people with his careless, disheveled appearance. He always checks himself before he goes out to meet people, and he makes himself look good, in moderation, for the Prophet (SAW) used to make himself look good in front of his companions, as well as in front of his family.

Islam frequently encourages its followers always to be clean, perfume their clothes, and ensure that their bodies always smell fresh and clean. This is what the Prophet (SAW) used to do, according to the report that Imam Muslim quotes from Anas ibn Malik, who said: “I have never smelt any ambergris or must that had a better scent than the scent of the Messenger of Allah (SAW).
