The Day of Beauty

8 Asma 163 B.E. – August 27, 2006 A.D.

Today is Jamal, the day of Beauty. It last from sundown on Saturday to sundown on Sunday. Beauty, the first day of the week, is an attribute of God. Today the sun is shining, a breeze is blowing and there are no clouds in the sky.

The nice weather doesn’t necessarily make the day beautiful. It would be a beautiful day no mater what the weather. Beauty is in the mind of the beholder, we see a rose or a cloud and think it is beautiful. The definition for the beauty of anything is in a person’s mind and soul. We perceive with our eyes, but we truly see with our minds and souls.

There is beauty in every human being, sometimes that beauty hid from the human mind, but the beauty is there. It is a matter of training oneself to see the inner beauty of another person, rather than the outer physical appearance. Once we start seeing the beauty in other people than we will see beauty in ourselves.

Every created thing in the universe can reflect one of the attributes of God. Human beings can reflect all the attributes of God, it takes practice to both reflect those attributes and see them mirrored in other people. We must look for the beauty in the world to see it and we must look for the attributes of God to see them in ourselves and other people.
