Explaining the importance of self-care, Maulana Tariq Jamil said, “Our men and women do not make efforts to enhance their appearance for their spouse,” which, he suggested, often leads to marital discord.

He also quoted a Hadith of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), stating, “The hoor of Jannah will adorn themselves for their husbands, just as Umm-e-Salma [the Prophet’s wife] did for her spouse.”

MTJ emphasised that personal beautification has significant value in Islam and quoted several references from Hadith and Sunnah, saying that even Islam stressed decorating transportation as well.

He further stated that while Sufi saints played a crucial role in spreading Islam in the subcontinent, their practices such as embracing starvation, wearing tattered clothes, and consuming dry bread, were mistakenly associated with Islamic teachings.
