Every time I look in the mirror, I take a moment to admire how Allah has made us so beautiful. Whether I’m wearing something new or just noticing my clothes, it’s a reminder to make a thankful Dua. It’s a simple way to ground ourselves in the fact that all beauty comes from Him.
Arabic;
Transliteration:
Allahumma hassanta khalqi fahassin khuluqi
Translation in English :
“O Allah, You have beautified my body, so beautify my character”. [Musnad Abu Ya’la]
Translation in Urdu:
اللہ عزوجل تو نے میری صورت اچھی بنائی تو میری سیرت (اخلاق) بھی اچھی کردے۔
Hadith About Looking in the Mirror
“When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw his face in the mirror, he said:
(And in another narration:
“Praise be to Allah Who has perfected my creation and made my image good…”) *
Expressing Gratitude to Allah for Our Beauty and Appearance
I thank Allah every time I look in the mirror because He has created me beautifully and with great care. Even if I notice small imperfections, I remind myself that His design is perfect and unique. True beauty is about being grateful for the body and soul He has given me.
When I wear something new or feel happy with my appearance, I always say Alhamdulillah to show my gratitude. It helps me remember that all good things, including my looks, come from Allah alone. Saying a short Dua in that moment keeps my heart humble and full of shukr.
