speeches on meaningless topics. And he only talks about an im-

speech is one that comes from within.
Neither does he speak in a monotonous voice, or repeat the
same words, sentences, and style. He doesn’t use abusive or
hurtful words in his speech. He never upsets others by mocking
them. He always conveys what he wants to in a clear and precise
way.

AWISE PERSON’S UNDERSTANDING OF ART
AND DECORATION
Awise person takes Allah’s artistry as an example above all
else. He knows that the imagery of Heaven mentioned in the
Qur'an draws attention to materials that give the most pleasure
to the human soul and so he tries to imitate these decorations in
worldly terms.
As with everything else, he doesn’t constrain himself with
any rules on this issue. He knows that he doesn’t have to place
constraints on his style by following fashion. He can make use of
all the civilizations and cultures throughout history and be in-
spired by all the works of art they left behind.
Among these works of art he can analyse which ones are the
most appealing to the human eye and give pleasure to the
human soul in terms of art and aesthetics. And by combining the
most aesthetic pieces, he can come up with an incomparable
masterpiece.
