The Qur'an reveals many secrets to us. One of these secrets is the special beauty which Allah has granted 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 "zeena", this word can be loosely translated to 'beauty'. There is no application of this word specifically to men however.

The disbelieving 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. They lead a life completely heedless and unaware of this great secret revealed to them, and so are not able to derive the pleasure of knowing such an important fact about themselves.

Believing women however, are possessed of 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.
