Beauty is one of the important topics of man and the field of philosophy, which is mentioned in the Qur'an with the words of beauty. Some Islamic thinkers, such as Ibn Sina, present the characteristics of order, moderation for beauty, and others, such as Ibn Haytham and Abu Hayyan al-Tawhidi, consider fit and tangible harmony as the criteria of beauty. Western philosophers also fall into this category with tangible mathematical and geometric definitions and criteria. In the verses related to the Holy Quran, the word Qadr meaning size, measurement, destiny has been emphasized many times. But the difference between these three categories of theories can be seen in the wider range of verses of the Holy Quran, including heavenly and earthly beauties, as opposed to the perceptible aesthetics of Western theorists such as Socrates, Aristotle, Aquinas, Neoplatonists, and Umberto Waco. In addition, the ideas of Islamic philosophers and mystics can be studied in both categories of perceptible aesthetics and terrestrial-celestial aesthetics. Colors are very important in aesthetics from the point of view of the Holy Quran and also from the point of view of Islamic mystics. In many verses of the Holy Quran, the variety and variety of colors is a sign for the wise. This expression, with a special comprehensiveness, includes all phenomena and colors and introduces the differences of colors as scenes of divine power. Also, white, green and yellow colors have aesthetic advantages in describing heavenly beings and believers.

Keywords: Holy Quran, Beauty, Aesthetics, Islamic and Western Thinkers, Jamal.
