اُردوEn
وَبِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَلَا إِلَى أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ ".
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace be upon him) said: "It is sufficient for a person to be considered bad that his religion or his worldly affairs are pointed out, except for the one whom Allah protects."

From the aforementioned hadith, it is understood that Allah, the Possessor of Majesty, does not look at anyone’s appearances or wealth; rather, with Allah, the standard is the piety (taqwa), righteousness, and faith (iman) of the hearts. The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
﴿یٰاَیُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنَّا خَلَقْنَاکُمْ مِّنْ ذَکَرٍ وَّاُنثَی وَجَعَلْنَاکُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوْا اِِنَّ اَکْرَمَکُمْ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ اَتْقَاکُمْ﴾ (al-Hujurat: 13)
“O mankind! We have created you from a male and a female, and made you into peoples and tribes so that you may know one another. Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is the most pious (God-fearing) of you.”
