According to search-discovered classical Islamic scholarship, the principle to 'beautify (adorn) yourselves for' every act of worship is a foundational concept established in Surah Al-A'raf, verse 31. Ibn Kathir explains that this verse was revealed to abolish the pre-Islamic pagan custom of performing Tawaf naked, thereby commanding the covering of the 'awrah' (private parts) as a minimum requirement for worship. Al-Qurtubi and other scholars expand on this, clarifying that the term 'Zinah' (adornment) also signifies the recommendation to wear clean, neat, and beautiful clothing as a sign of reverence before Allah. This command is immediately followed by 'eat and drink, but be not excessive,' creating a profound synthesis that rejects both false asceticism and wasteful extravagance. This unified principle, rooted in a single verse, establishes a comprehensive Islamic ethos of balance: presenting oneself in a dignified manner for worship while embracing Allah's blessings with moderation and gratitude.
