HEALTH - ~ ISLAMIC ARTICLE :- ~ The secret of the beauty and impressiveness of the human eye is hidden in the depthsof the human soul:

Allah created the human face with a flawless symmetry and beauty. No
doubt, one of the most beautiful parts Allah creates on the human
faceis the "eye". Allah describes the beauty of maidens in paradise in
theSurat al-Waqia, verse 23, with the words, "... dark-eyed maidens ",
attracting attention to the role of the eye in the beauty of the face.
However, what reveals a person's beauty and enhances the meaning on
their face is not solely the color and shape of an eye. What leaves an
impressionon the soul of other people is the meaning anddepth in the
eyes.
Allah creates the shape and color of eyes of many living beings in
nature in avery beautiful fashion. For instance, deer and
gazellesattract attention with the beautiful shape of their eyes while
cats become distinctive with their eye colors and living beings like
lions and tigers with the sharpness of their eyes. However, the effect
of the eye of no other living being is comparable to the look in the
human eye, because eyes are the windows of the human soul. For this
reason, the aspect that adds beauty and meaning to the eye is the way
it reflects the depth of the human soul rather than its shape and
color. This profoundness facilitates defining the character traits
peculiar to that person. It is also a very important spiritual power
that enhances the beauty and impact of that person.
The Effectiveness of the Human Eye is one of the Greatest Secrets of Allah
Allah creates the eye from the materials commonly available in nature.
Just as in the case of all living beings, the human eye is merely a
piece of flesh made up of nerves, some bodily fluids and muscles. Some
people who fail to think deeply and consider man as a mere pile of
fleshand bones attach more importance to this aspect of an eye, and
consider eye color or its shape as more important. They consider a
blank stare thatis void of any expression as "purity and naivety" and
think that the person looks very beautifully and with meaning. Because
these people have a shallow outlook, they can not comprehend that
profundity in looks adds beauty and meaning to a face and can never
figure out the profound impact ameaningful look makes onthe soul. That
is why they see one another as living beings that have no
consciousness and wisdom.
The fact is however, looking at an eye with a beautiful and meaningful
look gives tremendous pleasure to a believer because the meaning in
one's eye develops in relation with his wisdom and depth of his faith.
If a person has a fervent love of Allah and is passionately attached
to Him, if he has fully submitted himself to Allah,has a flawless
respect for Him and His manifestations, if he respects Allah and
everything He creates, then the impact of this person's eye and his
looks become one of the greatest spiritual powers in the world. The
pleasure that is taken from such a meaningful eye that reflects the
profundity of the soul becomes greater and more intense. However, as a
miracle of Allah, this is an attribute peculiar to only genuine
Muslims. The looks of people who are unaware of sincerity and display
affected attitudes are artificial, for they are for purposes of
showmanship only. These people, now and again, wish to reveal the
peace and ease of heart believers naturally have in their eyes and
long for having beautiful looks like them but they can never achieve
it, because Allah never grantssuch a blessing to a soul that can not
love and appreciate Him as is due, and does not know to attach himself
profoundly to Him. An examination into the general character traits of
these people reveals that these people are egoistic, selfish,
insecure, loveless, inconsiderate people who do not attach any
importance to anything. Inorder for these people to attain the beauty
and aesthetics they have been longing for, they, first of all, need to
live by the moral perfection Allah demands from them and consider that
it is Allah Who creates his eyes, as well as the eyes that look at
him. Apart from that, they need to have the wisdom and profound kind
of faith that will create that impact in the eyes. A person who has a
fervent love of Allah considers everything he sees as a beautiful
manifestation of Allah's names, and loves them. That is because a
person who is vehemently in lovewith Allah knows to appreciate and
respect beautiful things and to take pleasure from them and see the
best aspects ofeverything he encounters.
