Qur'an 20091208

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

30. Say to the believing men that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that would make for greater purity for them, and Allah is well acquainted with all that they do.

31. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty: that they should not display their beauty except what appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms, and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or their slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers! Turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain bliss.

The Light 24:30 & 31
