In the area between the sections of the etek (“skirt” or lower part) and göbek (“belly”), the 107th verse of the chapter Anbiya is placed. “And We have not sent you, [O Muhammad], except as a mercy to the worlds.” While the physical characteristics of the Prophet are mentioned in the göbek (“belly”), his virtues are written in the etek (“skirt” or lower part) section. Every art lover who reads these characteristics of the Prophet experiences a flood of spiritual emotions. İn this study, will be discussed the effect of Hilye on human. Hilyahs in literature is not the subject of this article. Keywords:
