A Study of What Meant by Zinat in the Verses 31 and 32 of Aaraf

There are various views on what meant by the word zinat in the verses 31-32 of A`Araf among commentators. Some have viewed the verses as agreeing with lucidity or as its being recommended in prayer. Regarding various aspects of the verses and the traditions of the field, one may conclude that lucidity is not meant by the verses; they may be taken as referring to clear and white dress when worshipping. As understood, it is better for prayers to use their best dresses in religious ceremonies; needless to say, one is not permitted to use the dress for reputation. In addition to apparel, the worshiper must have spiritual adorements in his prayers, especially in the mosque. Dress of piety, ethics, perceiving divine presence and the like are from the devices of prayer that the worshiper must take care of in prayer.
