Women & Beauty: A Secret revealed in the Qur'an

The Qur'an reveals many secrets to us. One of these secrets is the special beauty which Allah has granted to women, that which men have not been given.

In the Qur'an, there is more than one reference to a special form of beauty given to women which Allah highlights using the word "zeenat", which can be loosely translated to 'beauty'. There is no application of this word to men however.

The disbeleiving women who deny the existence of Allah, or deny the guidance sent down by Allah, are completely unaware of this unique and precious gift they have been given, that which men do not have. They lead a life completely heedless and unaware of this great secret revealed to them, and so are not able to derive the pleasure from knowing such an important fact about themselves.

The believing women however, are possessed with this knowledge about themselves. They know that Allah, their Creator, has given them this valuable gift, and are able to derive great joy from knowing this secret revealed to them in the Qur'an. It makes them feel nearer to Allah, and confident in their lives, knowing that Allah has truly fashioned them in His great power and infinite knowledge.

Interesting brother.  If you have the time to spare, could you please quote a few verses on women with this word 'zenat'?  My purpose of asking is only to satisfy my curiosity.  This point never struck me before.  Looking at some verses containing this word will give an idea of the nature and context of the term.

Peace brother,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you brother. I have been very busy at university, with deadlines!

For the word "zeenat" in the discussion of women, please see Verse 24:31 where it goes in arabic "walaa yubdheena zeenathahunna illa ma zahara min ha" which translates to, "they shall only reveal their beauty which should naturally be seen".

Assalamu alaikum.

Walaikum Salaam nektub.  Welcome to our forum.  Another member had also put a similar question earlier.  I responded to it to the best of my knowledge in the following link to that post.  The member asked six questions.  You'll find No.3 on headscarf.
