Everyone's perception of beauty has cultural roots. Culture and cultural representations explain and refine aesthetic standards throughout history. By referring to the Holy Quran, it can be understood that beauty has a special place in the divine text. Therefore, the Quran provides a comprehensive military word about beauty. This study is responsible for explaining and verifying the meaning of decoration in the Holy Qur'an with semantic methods, which has not yet been addressed with a comprehensive semantic approach and its place in the semantic system of the Qur'an has not been explained. The genealogy of the root of Zain in Semitic languages indicates the frequent use of its phonetic variation, which strengthens the possibility of word sharing due to its loanwords. The findings of etymology indicate the existence of two main components in the origin of this root: First, beauty and glory, and second, desire and tension. Examining the coincidences, with various activities, talks about the material and spiritual scopes. Among the functions of adornment, for believers, correction, and for non-believers, we can mention inversion in understanding, the devil's rule, deviation from truth, loss, and destruction, and neglecting spiritual causes.
