“Seeing beauty from within adversity”
Hossam Badrawi
After I returned from a journey of treatment and suffering that I wrote about and described, my friends and students asked me about my impact on this suffering in the context of my constant optimism and willingness to see the best in events and the most beautiful in people.
I told them that my exit safe and sound and my feeling of God’s blessings upon me, which when they disappeared became priorities, made me believe more in the value and beauty of these blessings I had and my horizon of awareness of the beauty of the world around us expanded.
I saw beauty in precision, science, and coordination of action between doctors, nurses, and physical therapists, even with patient transporters and room cleaners.
Practicing the profession, any profession, with mastery and passion contains beauty that you see even in the darkness of suffering and realize after emerging from it.
After my return from Germany, groups of young people dreaming of tomorrow visited me. They were amazed at my continued optimism and my positive outlook on things. One of them said: Doctor, we are confused. How do you see everything beautiful in this way, even in your suffering? And how do you maintain your smile in the darkest times?
I told them: The smile of one of my granddaughters and a hug from one of them, even to my feet, was enough to get me out of the isolation unit inside intensive care and make me feel the beauty of existence and the happiness of life.
If you understand the philosophy of beauty and learn how to extract it from every action and every vision around you, you will be happier and more joyful. Every happy person will release positive energy around him, and the energy turns into action and achievement.
My children, beauty is a distinctive feature of this existence, manifested everywhere. It is a kind of order, harmony, and harmony that has countless manifestations and manifestations. Precision, delicacy, symmetry, balance, coherence, and many other aspects are felt by the conscience, even if it cannot express them in most cases. Sometimes. This represents two different levels of human abilities: the ability to sense beauty and the ability to express it. Because the feeling of external and internal beauty is a cognitive perception, it can be learned. As for the other ability of the human being, which expresses, displays, and demonstrates beauty, it is the ability possessed by the artist, whether he is a photographer, writer, or other person with different artistic abilities. Whereas science and experience have proven that there is a lot of knowledge and skills that a person can learn, especially at a young age, enabling him to increase his abilities to express beauty, every human being is an artist to some degree, and the uniqueness in art remains for the special talents in which a person is unique from others. The other.
Likewise, the general feeling of beauty and its manifestations may be affected by the culture of groups of people in a place, and affect the individual’s conscience. We have always found that there are relative standards for each nation regarding the characteristics and attributes of beauty, which may change in different times for the same peoples, and some people may – by virtue of their culture – resemble standards. Different ways of beauty. The Greeks saw beauty in youth, and the Romans saw beauty in luxury, order, and strength. The Greek artist assumed that intelligence and reason lie in the harmony of dimensions. As for Pythagoras, he defined beauty as the essence of the mechanism of numerical consistency that applies to the simplest and most complex phenomena. Akkad interpreted beauty as freedom of movement.
The beauty of music, like the beauty of existence, lies in proportions and mathematical relationships, just as the beauty of the universe lies in the precise harmony between the movement of the planets and stars. Art in Islamic civilization expressed an aesthetic value derived from geometric shapes and colors. It was an expression of a new spirit and a philosophical mentality that had its own character.
Beauty is a kind of freedom of conscience, and any sensible thinker in developing education must place the concept of beauty, and the culture of optimism and happiness, as something that can be realized, within the concerns of the school and educational institute, because our job, as I have always said, is to build human capabilities, and rules must be set for it in The educational system that educates and prepares Egypt’s youth for the future.
Gentlemen, when the soul is torn apart, and work is separated from pleasure, and passion and inspiration are absent, and unity and harmony disintegrate, the need for beauty is intense and its realization is greater and more important, and by that I do not mean the study of art for its own sake, but rather I take that to a broader goal, so that beauty is a means of restoring unity. Lost in society.
Music in particular is the greatest of the arts, devoid of practical goals, because its means of influencing the human soul does not serve purposes outside the scope of art. It is not like, for example, architecture, which is used in construction and is useful in achieving purposes other than merely creating aesthetic delight. However, it is in studying it. Simple language builds the feeling and knowledge of consistency and harmony. It reaches the science of mathematics from the point of beauty and pleasure, and the skills of practicing it form accuracy, proficiency, perseverance, and commitment. I do not look here at music in the abstract, but rather as one of the foundations of education. The same is true for words, photography, and other types of art. Each entry has a general benefit and another specific to its type.
The human soul that has a taste for beauty is the soul that is capable of creativity, innovation, seeing what pleases it, and building on it.
Human nature, without the distortion that we do to it in family upbringing, the educational climate, or the media that focuses on negatives and mistakes, is attracted alone to everything that is beautiful, and it was reported from the Messenger of God (PBUH): “God is beautiful and loves beauty,” and she wanted it. The ability of the Creator, Glory be to Him, to make beauty – in all its forms – a source of contentment and happiness for man. Appreciation of beauty is a common right, a right for everyone in which a person does not need to be of position or have power or money to enjoy it. Dr. Zaki Naguib Mahmoud says: “The average person from the majority of people, if he knows in his current life how to differentiate between what is beautiful and what is He is ugly in the things that surround him, so knowing that makes him a better person who also differentiates between good and evil, for good is always beautiful.”

Beauty, like happiness, stems from a creative, capable force that stimulates thought and contemplation, and opens the doors of faith and certainty. If enjoying beauty is permissible, then it is a gateway to the elevation of the spirit and taste, the elevation of the soul and its salvation from deterioration and fall, and an engine for the mind to wander beyond mere sensory appearances. Beauty is, in fact, one of the causes of good faith, and one of its elements, and artistic aesthetic values carry on their wings what deepens and strengthens this faith, and makes it a means of happiness and goodness in this life.
Because I cannot stay away from education, I believe that the philosophy of ethics, the science of logic, and the philosophy of beauty, with varying degrees of depth, must be included in the conscience of young people, according to the age stage in which they study in one way or another. Choosing curricula for literature, poetry, and speech arts, and even choosing verses from the Holy Qur’an for children’s study of religion, must be consistent with this vision, and integrating this methodology without hesitation into education is an inseparable part of the comprehensive development vision. However, I stress that the most important thing is not a curriculum taught, but rather a teacher who understands this value, and a school and institute in which the philosophy of beauty pioneers its content.
My advice
be beautiful see the Universe beautiful,
Be happy…you see existence as happy,
Let us spread positive energy in our country.
We look at the most beautiful things around us,
And more beautiful than those around us, everything has beauty.
Look for beauty and happiness will come to you.
God’s blessings are countless, to us and around us.
