How do we identify and judge beauty? Does it distract us from more pressing questions and issues? Is beauty the handmaiden of privilege? Or can it be found in everyday, ordinary things? Whatever happened to beauty in contemporary Islam? Do Muslims have a inkling of what beauty is and why is it significant? This issue of Critical Muslim looks at beauty from a number of perspectives -- from beauty in the Qur’an and the Beautiful Divine Names to racism and the beauty industry, politics of fashion, calligraphy, plastic surgery, female wrestling, Muslim beauty contests and the male and female gaze.
Ziauddin Sardar is an award-winning, internationally renowned writer, futurist and cultural critic. A former 'New Statesman' columnist and Equality and Human Rights Commissioner, he has authored many books, including 'Desperately Seeking Paradise: Journeys of a Sceptical Muslim'; 'Reading the Qur'an'; and 'Mecca: The Sacred City'.
