Abstract
Muhammad al-Badrani and Ismail al-Mashharani attempt to examine the theoretical views of three major figures of contemporary Islamic critique and discourse on beauty: Najib al-Kilani, Emad al-Din Khalil, and Muhammad Iqbal. The article examines the views of these figures on terminology, purpose, and identifying the nature of the relationship between beauty and morality. It then addresses their critique of Marxist concepts of beauty, their thought on the dialectic of form and content ( including its impact in achieving beauty), and the crystallization of their Islamic conception of “beauty.” The conclusion calls on researchers to examine applied studies of the three scholars in their literary texts, and attempt to discover the extent to which they apply their standards of beauty, which they theorize and propagate.
