"Know that there are two types of beauty: external and internal. Internal beauty is loved for itself; it is the beauty of knowledge, reason, generosity, chastity and courage. The internal beauty is what God looks at and loves in His servant. Moreover, internal beauty beautifies the external beauty even if it is not appealing, when the person is covered with reverence, sweetness and beautiful manners as much as his soul acquires of those features. A believer is granted reverence and beauty according to his faith, so he is revered by those who meet him and loved by those who deal with him. This is commonly observed as you can see the righteous, charitable and well-mannered man projecting the nicest impression even if he is plain in looks, especially when he has been blessed with keeping night prayers as they illuminate the face and beautify it." - Ibn-Qayyum al-Jawzy ... Abide by the truth even if your mind deserts you.
