(Discussion of the attribute of Allah, beauty, and the wisdom of the compiler combining the attributes of majesty and beauty) And He is the Beautiful in truth, how could He not be*** and the beauty of all

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And He is the Beautiful in truth" to the end of it.
This is also from the names of Allah, the Beautiful, and the author (may Allah have mercy on him) combined them because belief in His beauty (Mighty and Majestic) necessitates seeking, and belief in His majesty necessitates fleeing; it necessitates fleeing from His disobedience, and beauty necessitates seeking His pleasure. He says: "And He is the Beautiful in truth"
And this is indicated by the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Verily, Allah is Graceful and He loves Grace إن الله جميل يحب الجمال
Sahih Muslim 91a

"How" meaning how could He not be beautiful "*** and the beauty of all these creations
is from some of the effects of the Beautiful, so their Lord*** is more deserving and more worthy in the view of the one who knows"

Because it is said that the Giver of perfection is more deserving of perfection, so the beauty of all these creations is from the effects of the beauty of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). So how would the Beautiful give to one who is not beautiful? He (Mighty and Majestic) is Beautiful, but His beauty is not like the beauty of the created beings; rather, it is the greatest thing that does not revolve in the imagination and cannot be grasped by the mind. For this reason, you find that the greatest of the blessings for the people of Paradise is that they look at the Face of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). This surpasses the bliss they were in, and they are in bliss about which Allah the Exalted said:
And no soul knows what has been hidden for them of comfort for eyes فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم منقرة أعين
[As-Sajdah 32:17]
And He said in the Qudsi Hadith:
I have prepared for My righteous slaves (such excellent things) as no eye has ever seen, nor an ear has ever heard nor a human heart can ever think of. أعددت لعبادي الصالحين ما لا عين رأت ولا أذن سمعت ولا خطر على قلب بشر
Sahih al-Bukhari 7498
