Which is Better: Witnessing Allah’s Beauty or Allah’s Majesty?

Answered by Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz (may Allah protect him and benefit us by him)

What is best is witnessing Allah’s perfection (kamal) in both His majesty and His beauty. His majesty is perfect and His beauty is perfect. The Perfect is majestic and the Perfect is beautiful.

There is nothing worthy of worship besides Him! Which of the names or attributes of beauty which belong to Him are not majestic? Which of the names or attributes of majesty which belong to Him are not beautiful? And of all of that, what of it is not perfect?

One of the people of Allah once said:

“I reach a state in which my attributes are hidden so that the attributes of majesty and beauty are combined”
