brothers or the sons of their sisters, or gentlewomen, or their maidservants, or such attendants who have no desire for women, or such children who have no knowledge of the relationship between the sexes. (24:31,32) وَالْقَوَاعِدُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ الَّتِي لَا يَرْجُونَ نِكَاحَا فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِنَّ و جُنَاحٌ أَن يَضَعْنَ ثِيَابَهُنَّ غَيْرَ مُتَبَرِحَتٍ بِرِينَةٍ وَأَن يَسْتَعْفِفْنَن خَيْرٌ لَّهُنَّ وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ ). There is no blame on elderly women who are past the age of marriage, if they lay aside their outer coverings without displaying their adornment. But it would be better for them to guard themselves. Allah is All Hearing, All. Knowing. (24:61). DO NOT BE ARROGANT وَلَا تُصَعِرْ خَدَّكَ لِلنَّاسِ وَلَا تَمْشِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَحًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ مُختَالٍ فَخُورٍ وَاقْصِدْ فِي مَشْيِكَ وَأَغْضُضْ مِن صَوْتِكَ إن أنكر الأَصْوَاتِ لَصَوْتُ الْخَبير. Allah says:. Do not turn your face away from people in pride, nor walk arrogantly upon the earth. Surely Allah loves not any arrogant boaster. . Walk in a moderate manner and lower thy voice; as the most unpleasant sound is the bray of a donkey. (31:19,20) 117
