Commentary 7:31 According to Imâm Râghib, Zînatزِينَتَ is a beautifying thing that does not disgrace or render unseemly, in the present life or in that which is to come;…
يَا بَنِي آدَمَ خُذُوا زِينَتَكُمْ عِندَ كُلِّ مَسْجِدٍ وَكُلُوا وَاشْرَبُوا وَلَا تُسْرِفُوا
7:31 According to Imâm Râghib, Zînatزِينَتَ is a beautifying thing that does not disgrace or render unseemly, in the present life or in that which is to come; it may therefore signify anything of beauty in both the physical and moral connotation of the term.
