Beauty in the view of the holy Quran enjoys a high position and value, so that, in many verses, various manifestations of beauty, its factors and symbols, areas of beauty and so on have been referred to. The holy Quran considers the concept of beauty beyond tangible beauties and extends it to metaphysical, ethical, and spiritual beauties as well. In this article, first the concept of beauty in the Quran as well as its scope in tangible, spiritual, and ethical affairs has been elaborated and then the Quranic aesthetical concepts in a set including the main concepts of beauty like: beauty, goodness, concepts related to it such as ornamentation, decoration, joy and terms indicating elements of beauty such as value and color have been studied. Having studied words and aesthetic expressions in the Holy Quran, we come to the conclusion that there is a harmony among a range of material, spiritual, and ethical expressions. This style offers us a comprehensive model of aesthetics.
