Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) reported The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds."
(Sahih Muslim Bk 32 #6221)

Allah, the Perfect and Most High, does not look to the slaves and their bodies, and whether they are large or small in stature, nor whether they stand in good health or illness. He does not look to their faces, and whether or not they are beautiful or hideous. All of these affairs are of [absolutely] no significance to Allah.

Similarly, He does not look towards their lineage nor ancestry, and whether or not they are of nobility or ignobility, nor does He look towards their wealth. He does not look towards any of these affairs at all.

There lies no connection between Allah and His creation except through At-Taqwa (righteousness). Whomever possesses more Taqwa of Allah, is nearer to Him, and thus most honorable with Him, so do not take pride in your wealth, nor in your beauty, nor in your body, nor in your children, nor in your palaces, nor in your cars, nor in any worldly matter. Indeed, if Allah granted you success in attaining At-Taqwa, it is from His Grace upon you, so praise Allah.

Let others know.. JazaakAllah Kair.
