A Muslimah’s Eyes Are Only for Her Husband
http://islamgreatreligion.wordpress.com

The true Muslim woman avoids looking at men other than

her husband; she does not stare at men who are not related
to her (i.e. who are not her mahrams), in obedience to the
command of Allah (subhaanahu wa ‘ta’aalaa):

“And say to the believing women that they

should lower their gaze . . .” 1

By refraining from looking at other men, she will be one of those chaste women who restrain their
glances, which is a quality men like in women, because it is indicative of their purity, decency and
fidelity. This is one of the most beautiful characteristics of the chaste, decent, pure Muslim woman, and
this was referred to in the Qur’aan when it speaks of the women of Paradise and their qualities that are
loved by men:

“In them will be [Maidens] chaste, restraining their glances, whom no man or jinn
before them has touched.” 2
