Looking at The Mirror
Amir al-Muminin (A.S) said: “Whenever one of you look into the mirror, say:
الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي فَأَحْسَنَ خَلْقِي وَ صَوَّرَنِي فَأَحْسَنَ صُورَتِي وَ زَانَ مِنِّي مَا شَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِي وَ أَكْرَمَنِي بِالاِسْلاَمِ.
Praise be to God who has created me and did my creation excellently, and portrayed me and did my portray excellently, and made in me beautiful whatever is not beautiful in others, and honored me with Islam.
