Beauty, according to Ibn Arabi, is attributed to men in two ways: on one hand, by the elevation and power of the divine presence, named Majesty of Beauty, to which we must respond through an intimate spiritual state as to accomplish balance during both contemplation and a correct apprehension; and, on the other hand, through proximity, an aspect of Beauty, that should be received with fear as a proper response to God's expansion towards us, hence achieving our gathering with Him. Those who love because of the divine love contemplate the wisdom echoed in both in the universe as well as in themselves. Ibn Arabi also explained the application of these names to the reading of the Koran. The Prophet endorsed the importance of spiritual embellishment achieved through a correct conduct and the contemplation of Beauty, characterized by making all things delectable and knowledgeable. Everything is inclined to be self loved, but this is only possible because of divinity’s reality: since God created the world to His image, it is considered as a mirror in which He contemplates and loves Himself.
