21. Like the sickness of the world, anger, tranquillity, wealth, poverty, amazement, perplexity, etc. can be seen from the faces. In the same manner faith, infidelity, piety, sinfulness too would be revealed from the faces on the Day of Judgement. In fact, there will be a difference in the faces of the common believers, Prophets and Saints. A face is the book of Allah Almighty. It is for this reason that it has been prohibited to hit a person in the face or disfigure the face.
