Quick Grasp of Faith: How should compliments and praises be proclaimed?

People are praised for their physical beauty or good morals, although
the unique and real possessor of all of these admirable features is
Allah. Hence, we present all of our compliments to Him, the only One
Who creates and shapes everything in its perfect form. For example, if
one's physical beauty is praised, we have to remember that Allah has
given that beauty as a blessing. Wisdom, intelligence, and all other
features are the blessings of Allah on that person. Therefore, all
praises find their proper place only when they are made with the
intention to praise Allah. The Qur'an proclaims that Allah is the true
owner of everything that can be admired, as follows:
And say: "Praise be to Allah, Who has had no son and no partner in His
Kingdom, and Who needs no one to protect Him out of weakness."
Proclaim His Greatness repeatedly! (Suratal-Isra': 111)
For that reason, when praising athing's or a person's beauty, we have
to realize that Allah createdit, that it belongs to Him, and that He
may take that blessing back, if He wills to do so.
