Without doubt, there has never been anyone like the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم nor will there ever be.

The incalculable degree of his beauty can be gauged from this explanation. Firstly, consider everything Allah has created: all of the universes and worlds in existence. He has created countless things of beauty, the number of which we cannot ever count. Think of all the varying forms of beauty He has granted them, and then consider how Allah has granted more beauty than all of this to Prophet Yusuf  عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام .

When the women of Egypt laid eyes upon Prophet Yusuf  عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , they became totally entranced by his beauty. They were overwhelmed to the point of losing their senses and even began to unknowingly cut their fingers, completely mesmerized.

Allah mentions this incident in the Quran:

فَلَمَّا رَاَیْنَهٗۤ اَكْبَرْنَهٗ وَ قَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّ وَ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًاؕ-اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِیْمٌ(۳۱)

“When the women saw Yusuf, they began praising him, and cut their hands, and said, 'Glory be to Allah! This is not a human being; this is not but some honourable angel.”^[1]

In Khazain al-Irfan, a book of Quranic tafsir, Mufti Sayyid Muhammad Na’im al-Din Muradabadi رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه comments on this verse:

Prophet Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is he who augments the beauty of the universe with his own unique splendour.

When witnessing Prophet Yusuf  عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام , the women of Egypt saw the illumination of prophethood and messengership with him, as well as tangible effects of humility, his kingly aura,
