Lots of things are haram which are part of natural human behavior. Then why isn’t gold jewelery haram in Islam? What purpose does jewelery serve other then giving people a false sense of being rich, and an avenue for showing off?
Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
Islam is not after people not looking good or not having money. Ladies have their options and guys have theirs. Different things are allowed for guys and different for ladies.
Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
If Allah has blessed you with wealth and you wear jewelry that you can afford without the intention of being arrogant or letting down other people, it is alright. Remember they have to pay zakat on it as well, not once but every year!

Bro, premises of your argument is highly dishonest.
you are saying as if Islam is against the natural human behaviour and then, you go to question something which Islam does not forbade while saying it is also part of natural human behaviour.
I see a serious lack of coherrent thought processes, frankly.

That works great in theory, but even wearing clothes that cost $1 more than other make people arrogant, should i believe that jewelery doesn't?

So you are suggesting that religion goes along with human nature? I would say it teaches humans to act against their human nature and instincts. If a person spits on someone, human nature would dictate to spit back. Religion would teach you to have control, and not spit back.

How can you buy clothes for the whole society that cost exactly the same .. unless you live in future and everyone wears a one piece silver color suit like in those sci fi movies :D
So does living in a $500,000 home as compared to a $200,000 one, or driving a BMW versus a Corolla. That doesn’t mean those things are not allowed ![]()
Arrogance is a personal display of emotion, or a personal feeling. Wearing jewelry may not make me arrogant but driving a luxury car may.
What about jealousy, and gheebat? People get jealous of education or position in society, so one must not have any of those either then.
Re: Why isn’t Jewelery for females haram?
By the way, TDW, aap ko humari jewelry sey itni problem kyun ho gai ![]()
But aren’t over the top displays of wealth haram in Islam? Doesn’t Islam teach moderation? Wouldn’t a “better” Muslim choose to live in a $100,000 home, and give the $400,000 to charity?
Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
Yes, correct, modesty is a great virtue, but to call those things haram is incorrect. Haram is what is prohibited. Modesty is recommended but being wealthy is not haram. If you live well, wear well and eat well, but also spend toward Allah, then a balance in duniya and deen is a pretty good combo isn't it? Now how many of us do it or can do it, that I cannot really say.
Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
question is stupid.why are you breathing?
Lashing out interesting...Plz explain how is my question stupid? Curiosity or seeking knowledge about some thing is stupid??
Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
because it isnt haram, we have trouble enough abstaining from things that are haram now we are questioning why somethign isnt haram. Far as i know Bani israel once questioned alot about the cow they were supposed to hunt down, sometimes questioning is impertinent. In my not so humble opinion this is one of those questions. cheers
Hunn?
I was wondering why gold is haram for males..or so I know.
Anyways no worries.

Re: Why isn't Jewelery for females haram?
I would mention here orders for the use of silk as well, as generally **Gold **and **Silk **have been addressed together by the prophet (saw), concerning men.
Islam has, prohibited two kinds of adornment for men, while permitting them to women. These are, first, gold ornaments and, second, clothing made of pure silk. 'All reported that the Prophet (peace be on him) took some silk in his right hand and some gold in his left, declaring, "These two are haram for the males among my followers." (Reported by Ahmad, Abu Daoud, al-Nisai, Ibn Hayyan, and lbn Majah, who reports the additional phrase, "but halal for the females.") 'Umar reported that he heard the Prophet (peace be on him) say, "Do not wear silk, for those who wear it in this life shall not wear it in the Hereafter." (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim. A Similar hadith is reported by them on the authority of Anas.) On another occasion, referring to a silken garment, he said, "This is the dress of a man who has no character.'' (Reported by al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
Islam has forbidden silk so that people will keep away from it for the sake of Allah, so they will be rewarded for that. Others reply that it’s basically created for women, as is the case with gold jewelry, so it’s forbidden for men lest it corrupts them by making them resemble women. Some scholars maintain that silk is forbidden because of what it may lead to in the way of pride and showing-off. Others relate the ruling (prohibition) to its having effect of femininity on men, as it goes against his masculinity and manliness. This applies to all men, even the most masculine and chivalrous of them. **Whoever is too dense to understand this should just submit to the Wise Law-maker.
***Why Gold and Silk are Permitted to Women*
Woman has been exempted from this prohibition out of consideration for her feminine nature, as the love of jewelry and ornaments is quite natural and becoming for a woman. *However, she is not to use her adornments to attract men and arouse their sexual desires. According to a hadith, *"When a woman puts on perfume and goes among people so that its scent reaches them, she is an adulteress, and any eye which is attracted to her is that of an adulterer." (Reported by an-Nasa'i, and also by Ibn Khuzaymah and Ibn Hayyan in their respective Sahihs) And Allah Almighty warns women: "...that they should not stamp their feet in order to make apparent what is hidden of their adornment..." (An-Nur: 31)"

**The Wisdom of Prohibitions of Gold and Silk for Men (As per few scholars)
**
By means of these two prohibitions which concern men, Islam’s aim is to achieve certain noble educational and moral objectives.
Since it is the religion of jihad (striving) and strength, Islam must safeguard the manly qualities of men from any show of weakness, passivity, and lethargy. Allah has made the physique of the man different from that of the woman, and it does not befit a man to wear clothes made of fine material or to adorn his body with costly ornaments.
There is, however, a social aim underlying these prohibitions. The prohibition of gold and silk to males is part of a broader Islamic program of combating luxuriousness in living. From the Qur’anic point of view, luxurious living leads to weakness among nations and to their eventual downfall; the existence of luxury is also an expression of social injustice, as only a few can afford luxurious items at the expense of the deprived masses of people.
In addition to this, luxurious living is an enemy of every call towards truth, justice, and social reform. The Qur’an says: “And when We intend that We should destroy a township, we permit its luxury-loving people to commit wickedness therein. Then the word is proved true against it, and We then destroy it utterly.” (Al-Isra’: 16) and again, “And We did not send a warner to any township without its luxury-loving people saying, ‘Assuredly we are disbelievers in that with which you have been sent.’” (Saba’: 34)
In keeping with the spirit of the Qur’an, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Muslims any indulgence in conspicuous consumption. He not only forbade the use of gold and silk to men but also forbade men and women alike the use of gold and silver utensils.
Finally, economic considerations also carry some weight here. Since gold is a universal medium of exchange, using it to make household utensils or ornaments for men does not make sense in economic terms.
