Popis: Beauty is in fact fundamental to understanding of divine being. Beauty informs of God’s perfections. Within Qur’an, the principle of tawhid which is that God is the Creator of the heavens is one Islamic metaphysical basis for the integration of the Greek heritage and Islamic revelation The problem in ugliness, especially ugliness in God's creation, raises questions about God's ability to create beautiful things. This study aims to deepen the understanding of imperfections in God's creation, which emerge the idea of bridging the gaps that are not yet well connected between God's most beautiful statement and His creation which is not all beautiful. Using a theological approach, this paper describes three problems not to deny that God is beautiful and loves beauty. First, God is Most Beautiful, and His manifestations in His creation are limited. Second, the formal imperfections in His creation were not created not to confront one another but instead are in a straight gradient line. Third, the physical imperfection is not interpreted as a limitation of God (finitism) but a message to His creatures
