Imam Shafi'i said,
"Whoever has a good fragrance, his intellect is increased."
من طاب ريح زاد عقله
Our scholars say good smells have a positive effect on one's intellect and understanding. Those who give their children something beautiful to smell daily note that it strengthens and expands the child's mind. Some Islamic schools have a practice of burning luban in the school every morning to bring in nice smells. Nice smells also inspire righteousness as they attract angels.
Extra benefit: During the Covid period, Habib Abu Bakr Al-'Adni told his students to burn luban in the morning and in the evening to get rid of viruses in the air. MashaAllah!
