True Beauty Sheikh Abu 'Amr ḥafidhahullāh said: A woman should be content with what Allah, the Almighty, has apportioned to her. A woman may not possess natural beauty, but her piety enhances her beauty, and this is true beauty - as Allah says: ﴿یَـٰبَنِیۤ ءَادَمَ قَدۡ أَنزَلۡنَا عَلَیۡكُمۡ لِبَاسࣰا یُوَ ٰ⁠رِی سَوۡءَ ٰ⁠ تِكُمۡ وَرِیشࣰاۖ وَلِبَاسُ ٱلتَّقۡوَىٰ ذَ ٰ⁠لِكَ خَیۡرࣱ﴾ "O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best." [Surah Al-Aʿrāf: 26] Her piety, devotion to Allah, worship, obedience, and adherence to Allah's laws are what bestow true beauty upon her. This is the true beauty in both men and women! Furthermore, if a woman is married and assists her husband in obeying Allah and treats him well, this will make him love, honor, and cherish her. Indeed, a naturally beautiful woman who is not pious may be despised by her husband ﴿وَلَأَمَةࣱ مُّؤۡمِنَةٌ خَیۡرࣱ مِّن مُّشۡرِكَةࣲ وَلَوۡ أَعۡجَبَتۡكُمۡ﴾ "A believing slave-woman is better than a free polytheist, even though she may look pleasant to you." [Surah Al-Baqarah: 221] Reality shows that a righteous woman who fulfills her duties is granted goodness by Allah, whereas a woman who lacks righteousness might attract foolish and corrupt individuals, and such a woman may be misled by Shaytan, leading to further evil, as evil begets only more evil. @womensbenefits
