What are the deeds that, if a person performs them, light appears on his face, and does reciting verse 28 of Surat At-Tur 11 times make the face radiant until the Day of Resurrection?
Obedience to Allah is a light that illuminates the inner and outer being of a servant, whereas disobedience darkens the heart and face. Performing night prayers (Qiyam al-Layl) and reciting the Qur’an are among the most impactful acts in making the face radiant and luminous. This is evident in His (the Almighty’s) saying: "Their mark is on their faces from the trace of prostration" (Qur’an 48:29). So, whoever prays much at night will have a beautiful face during the day, and whoever rectifies their inner self, Allah will rectify their outward appearance. Also, teaching the Hadith of the Prophet (peace be blessings be upon him) brings radiance, due to his saying: "May Allah illuminate the face of a person who hears a Hadith from us and preserves it until he conveys it." In general, good deeds and obedience illuminate the face, enlighten the heart, and expand the chest.
