Every creature has been clothed in its garment with beauty and excellence.

A cloud passing above us in the sky… a bird singing on a nearby branch… a tree carrying its magnificent fruits with dignity and pride… a cat walking with grace and charm…
A sun setting with excellence… a child leaping with agility and beauty… a strawberry… a pomegranate…

Every creation has been adorned with its unique garment that radiates wisdom and beauty—drawing you to look or to listen. Your heart moves and softens as it tastes the details of Allah’s creation. Your tongue instinctively glorifies Allah’s greatness, and your heart bows before the precision and perfection of His craftsmanship.

Maryam takes us in this guide on a journey filled with joy and happiness. Together, we contemplate the things around us and pay attention to the delicate details that surround them, details that radiate beauty and bring delight to the heart. We become attached to Allah, The Most Beautiful (Al-Jameel), who spread beauty throughout this universe: above us in the sky, around us on the earth, within our bodies, and before our eyes so that we may recognize His beauty and glorify His greatness whenever we contemplate the details of the Great Creator’s artistry.

صُنْعَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَتْقَنَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ
