The Dark Danger
Surat an-Nur Verse 31, 2nd Part
Say to the believing women that they
should lower their eyes and guard their
chastity and not display their adornments
– except for what normally shows – and
draw their coverings across their breasts.
They should only display their adornments
to their husbands or their fathers or their
husbands' fathers, or their sons or their
husbands' sons or their brothers or their
brothers' sons or their sisters' sons or other
women or those they own as slaves or their
male attendants who have no sexual desire
or children who still have no awareness of
women's private parts. Nor should they
stamp their feet so that their hidden orna-
ments are known. Turn to God every one
of you, believers, so that hopefully you will
have success. (Qur'an, 24:31)
