The Importance of Appearance – Islamic Manners
The Importance of Appearance.
A little etiquette is better than a lot of good actions. Many good manners with few good deeds are better than many good deeds with few good manners.
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “You are on your way to meet you brothers, put on nice clothing and fix you riding so you appear distinct among people as a fleck [on a beautiful face]. Allaah does not like roughness nor rough manners.”
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: “No-one will enter Paradise if they have at heart a grain of arrogance.”
A man asked: “A man may like his clothes to be nice and his shoes nice.”
The Messenger of Allaah ﷺ answered: “Allaah is beautiful and loves beauty. Arrogance is to deny rights and look down at people.”
