               As Allah says in the Qur’an, the Prophet (saas) is the best
            example for humanity in all ways.
               Just as our blessed Prophet (saas) was a good example for
            everyone living in his day, he is also the best example for
            everyone living after him until the Day of Judgment. In the
            Qur’an, Allah has revealed the Prophet’s (saas) superior
            moral character. And, both in the hadiths of the Prophet
            (saas) and the interpretations concerning him passed down
            to us by his companions, we can learn from the high quality
            of his morality and take his character as an example.
               But whether in the past or present, those who have adopt-
            ed the religion of superficiality cannot experience the noble
            quality of Muslim behavior as revealed by Allah in the
            Qur’an and seen in the life of the Prophet (saas). Those with
            weak faith, narrow minds and dull intellects cannot bring the
            morality of the Qur’an into their lives. Their spiritual state is
            revealed in how they think and speak, in their crude sense of
            humor and the means of entertainment they choose, in their
            lack of aesthetic sense and in their unseemly behavior. The
            following pages will consider how those who adopt the
            debased culture of superficiality manifest its shallowness in
            their lives.


               The Superficiality in the Eyes
               A person’s eyes reflect his personality and the culture that
            he lives in. His expression reveals his true face, and is impor-
            tant in determining his spiritual state, level of culture, per-
            sonality and character.
               Deep devotion, submission and maturity are striking
