Beyond Beauty standards
Is beauty bounded from just outside if inside is empty

Beyond Beauty standards
If I could change one thing in society, I would want to bring shaoor the ability to think, question, and actually understand things. We have limited our idea of beauty to a certain body or appearance, but who even decided what a “perfect” body is? We say that what matters is what’s inside, yet we are often the first ones to judge what is outside. In Islam, beauty is not about fitting into a standard; it is about taqwa, character, and the heart. But shaoor should not stop at beauty. We should have the courage to question the things around us, seek answers, and understand why we live the way we do instead of simply accepting everything we are told. Perhaps what we need most is not another standard to follow, but enough shaoor to question every standard we have been taught to accept.
