Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

The beauty that Allaah has created in some of his creations is an indication of His beauty. Shaykh Saalih ibn ‘Abdul ‘Azeez Aal Ash-Shaykh said in his commentary on The ‘Aqeedah Tahaawiyyah: "All types of beauty which people are attached to are nothing other than a part of the beauty of Allaah's Attributes; that is, they consist in some aspect of the beauty of the Attributes, in the same way that Allaah's mercy includes one part by which people have compassion for each other. Likewise for the beauty of Al-Haqq (the Ultimate Truth [Allaah]),– the beauty of His Essence, Attributes and Actions: He bestowed His beauty upon this existence so things are beautiful because of the beauty He has bestowed upon them." [End of quote] The Shaykh then quoted some verses from Ibn Al-Qayyim's Nooniyyah poem to the same effect.

Allaah Knows best.
