When we talk about beauty, definitely we
know it brings different meaning to different people.
Some people say, beautiful is depending on the
personality of people. If the personality is good,
means that the one who own it is beautiful and vice
versa . Therefore, in order to get some opinion about
the definition on beauty, a survey has been done on 25
students from IIUM. This survey also including the
opinion from male students where it took place around
Institute of Education, IIUM
Hence, based on the result, it is obviously
stated that 64 percent of the students opined that
beautiful means good attitude. This opinion is actually
paralleled with the opinion from Al-Farabi which said
that the goodness is the beautiful and the beautiful
is the goodness of attitude.

This survey also is purposely done in
order to survey the expenses that spent by the
students of IIUM relating to the beauty
product.
Therefore, based on the result, it is clear
that more than half students tend to spend
almost RM 50 and below for their beautiful
product. This amount is considered as
reasonable category since they are still students
and some of them are not getting any loan and
scholarship.
Besides, based on the survey, it is
shown that most of the products that they used
are not so expensive and suitable for students.
For instance, the products like Shurah, Safi
Balqish, Alaisyah and Fair and Lovely.

Traditional method Modern method


The survey also asked about their
preferable method in maintaining their beauty and
health. The result shows that almost more than half
of them are supporting the modern method rather
than traditional method.
It might be happened due to lack of time in
using the traditional method for their beauty.
Although the effectiveness of using the traditional
way is undeniable but it took a very long time to
see the effect compared to the modern product.
However, most of respondents also stated
that they have the experience in trying the
traditional method to beautify their skin. For
example, by eating ginger and garlic juice, using
oat, Tamarin and Guava leaf for face mask and
also white egg to remove the blackhead.
Besides, some of them claimed that by
using the tea bag, it will help them to reduce the
black circle around their eye as well as can be used
as scrub for removing the dust on the face.

to relaxing and ease
yourself?
Dr. Adibah: Yes..Thats is the important thing that I

that become very soft and I also feel
very relieve after doing the treatment.
It makes me feel very refreshing and
energetic. But you know, for me
whatever you did, you must be happy.
That is how your beauty will appear.
If you are not happy then you
will be look gloomy and dull

beauty, no..i dont have. But
I usually recite this doa from
Majmu Al-Sharif. This ayah is
very good. It just like we ask
from Allah S.W.T to light our
life and bring the Nur (lightness)
to us in many ways. I will read
it everyday.
Al-Jannah: Alright ,thank you Dr, Adibah for

had got the opportunity to go to South Korea in
order to discover how people there maintaining
their health and beauty.
She said that, most of women there are still
looking healthy and young although they are old.
One of the main secret there probably because of
the food that they consumed which are fulled with
vegetables and seafood. They only consumed the
plain water and rarely drink sweet drink.
Kimchi is also one of the main dishes that
taken regularly by Korean people for maintaining
their health. It is actually a vegetable that mixed
with milk, garlic and vinegar. It is believed that
this dish can help the digestion problem and
provide anti-oxidant to people who consumed it.

However, in some of Arab countries, they belief
that the bigger you are, the more beautiful you
will be. Consequently, some of them are end up
as obesity patient and suffering from other high
risked disease like Hypertension, Heart disease
and Diabetes.

Islam is a religion that really emphasizes
on the moderation to the followers where you will
not doing something at the lower or excessive
level. Besides, the concept of beautiful is also
strongly related with the element of moderation
and also modesty.



Therefore, as modesty is a quality that is
loved by Allah, the Muslims especially women
must take care properly on their modesty and not
following those women who show themselves off
to the world. Besides, it is seen that one of the
most important things to implement the modesty
in our life especially women is to govern our
awrah properly and also wearing Hijab.


Islam and the meaning of beauty


Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon
him) said: Allah is beautiful and He
loves beauty. [Sahh Muslim (911)]

Based on the hadith above, it is clear that the value
of beauty is also acknowledged by Allah S.W.T
since this attribute is also a part of Him.
However, beautiful or beauty means
differently for some people. Some of them claimed
that you will be looking beautiful if you have a
beautiful skin, beautiful body and beautiful smile
while some of them opined that beautify must be
accompanied with intellectuality, otherwise, it is
nothing for women or men to have a well-looking
without brain.
The definition of beautiful also might be
understood differently by some different people
form different places. For instance, some European
might suggest that the skinnier you are, the more
beautiful you will look. This trend is actually has
turned the lifestyle of many people especially
women to highly risky in terms of their health. It is
because, due to their strong belief on this doctrine,
some of them were suffering from Anorexia and
also Bulimia that somehow cause them to death.


The Prophet P.b.u.h, said: "Allah is
modest and covering. He loves modesty and
privacy." [Abu Daawood, An-Nasaa'i Al
Bayhaqi, Ahmad].
