| Description: | Sasterawan Negara Dato (Dr.) Noordin Hassan has often been accused of being “woman-struck” by critics who do not understand the meaning ofbeauty other than the physical beauty. The objective of this paper is to clarify this misconception using the Islamic framework of analysis to analyse the meanings of “women” and “beauty”. Noordin understands the need for balance in the life of mankind and the meaning of the Divine Feminine to be an attribute of God. Women are neither chattel nor objects of admiration to be displayed by men, rather they are to be partners in life and mothers of future generations. Through his plays, Noordin has raised the level of women characters to that of leaders to demonstrate that the capability of mankind is not determined by gender but by the knowledge within. Raised by his mother and surrounded by other women in his growing years, it is no wonder that Noordin finds women to be of better quality than men, but only women who are of hasanah character. |
