Quran 33:33 – Context And Historical Background
There is a big mistake here. In Surah Al-A’raf, the five things mentioned do not include food and drink, and out of the five things, one is dancing. Because dancing displays adornment or beauty. In the Qur’an, Allah Almighty commands women not to display their beauty and adornment as was common during the pre-Islamic period of ignorance: “…and do not display your beauty like that of the former ignorance…” (i.e., Allah commands that women should not engage in tabarruj, openly showing their beauty and adornment, as it was done in the age of Jahiliyyah). In the Hadith as well, there are strong statements about tabarruj. In one narration, the Prophet ﷺ said: “The worst among you are the women who display their beauty and shine with pride; they are hypocrites, and among them, whoever is granted Paradise will enter it as rarely as you see a red-beaked crow.” — (Sunan al-Kubra of Imam an-Nasa’i) This Hadith strongly condemns tabarruj and compares those who display their beauty and adornment before non-mahrams in an arrogant manner—not just simple adornment but in a prominent and attention-seeking way. From these texts, it is clear that in Islam, displaying beauty or adornment as tabarruj is not only disliked but severely reprimanded, especially when the intention is to attract attention or create desire in non-mahrams
Hmm, thank you for sharing the discussion, but it takes a lot of time, which I don’t have right now. Still, I will definitely read it. Now I understand that we are talking about different things. For my point, a different term would be used rather than tabarruj. Well, our discussion about tabarruj has become clear. But my question is, in your view, can a woman display her adornment in front of a non-mahram? Right now, I am not talking about tabarruj.
