Abstract

This paper explores the Quranic perspectives on adornment and beauty, focusing on the principles of modesty, righteousness, and the balance between inner and outer beauty. The Quran provides comprehensive guidance on adornment, highlighting the importance of modesty, ethical conduct, and the intrinsic value of human dignity. Key verses such as Surah An-Nur (24:31) and Surah Al-A'raf (7:26) emphasize the spiritual and moral dimensions of clothing and ornamentation. The study incorporates interpretations from classical Islamic scholars like Ibn Kathir and Al-Qurtubi, alongside contemporary research on Muslim fashion and identity, to illustrate how these teachings are understood and practiced in various cultural contexts. A comparative analysis with the teachings of other religious texts, such as the Bible and the Torah, provides a broader perspective on the global themes of decoration and modesty. By examining these aspects, the paper contributes to a deeper understanding of Islamic values and their relevance in modern society.
