The Standards of Beautification and Adornment in Islam

Abstract

The first signs of the history of humanity in the Egyptian civilization show that they were the ancestors of beauty and cosmetics and they developed this art of cosmetics to approach their gods. Then, Muslims developed this art in the middle ages, and various diseases were treated and medicines were introduced through this skill. The recent advance in technology has led to new forms of beauty, perfumes and the cosmetic surgery. Islam recognizes this natural cult because of man interest in beautiful scenes and the environment.  It is allowed to observe beauty by following certain rules and regulation. This interest must be kept in limits and the believers should serve their companions and please their true Lord, the Creator of beauty.
