جزاك الله خير…

Beauty is such a subjective concept. It’s a good thing television to let me know what beauty is!

I am a Canadian Muslim writer. Come by insha’Allah if your up for some reading.

Ma’as salaama,

nuh ibn

you are right.. but THAT is easily said than done..Eve by nature has always been trying to impress Adam, if Adam is silly & shallow , there are -on the otherhand- many Eves who are the same also, trying to attract those silly shallow men, and if Adam is sensible, aware, and wise ..there will be , on the otherhand- women who are the same..and know that beauty is skin deep.

Put media aside, and money makers, and put aside too the commercials, We are all really brainwashed, and unfortunately we grew up believing that beauty has certain measurements.. and we all carry this false idea about beauty, unless otherwise is proven by perhaps some painful experience….

Believe me, I’m not exaggerating when i say that even hiring and recruiting is sometimes based on appearance and looks.

Appearance-based hiring is statistically increasing in some countries, its is recognized and discussed openly.. it is considered racism in some countries but its a fact, using appearance as a hiring criterion, didn’t u notice that good-looking women sit in front in banks and less-fortunate looking women sit backhouse of the banks ( that of course if they were hired in the first place(..

Now, In marriages, its even more complicated story! Beauty is a matter of taste as you said, but If marriage was not tied with beauty, women wont strive to look more beautiful and aiming perfection to attract men!.. Awareness, correct perception, and the depth required in human relationships is the key towards the real meaning.

جاء في وصية ابن جني لبنيه:

( يا بني لا يحملنكم جمال النساء على صراحة البنت وكرم العنصر، فإن الناكح الكريمة مدرجة الشرف، إن الجمال ونضارة الشباب تزيلها السنون، وإن المال غاد ورائح، ولا يبقى إلا الدين، فاظفر بذات الدين تربت يداك ).

and when we say Religion, we mean moralitym ethics and decency..

Hope i didnt bore you to death…heheh

nice post.. keep it up
