Well, literally "aurat" comes from the word "aurah" in Arabic which means shame and humility. And basically it means certain part of the body that we need to cover from others to see..
Where is Aurat?
So, if we are talking about the certain part in the body, where is that certain part? Well, aurat for man and woman is different, since man and woman are different.
For men, the part where they have to close is between the navel untill the lower part of their knee.
For women, they have to close all part of their body except their face and their wrist. The clothes that we are wearing must no be too tight and the hijjab that you wear must at least closed the hair and the breast.
Well, Aurat should be closed once you hit puberty. Why? Because when we hit puberty, our sins and deeds will be counted by Allah. For men, their Aurat should be closed all the time except infront of their wife. For women, their Aurat is like the men's Aurat infront of their husbands, their fathers, the fathers of their husbands,their sons,the sons of their husbands, their brothers, their brothers' sons, their sisters' sons, and so on. So, infront of others who are not mentioned in the Quran, the women can only show their face and wrist..
Why should we close our Aurat?
People mostly women think that it is unnessary for them to close their Aurat. Here, I'm not gonna tell you that we have to close it because the Quran said so, but I'm going to tell it based on the logic. Aurat is very closed to sexuality. For instance, when a man see the navel, the thigh, the breast, the buttock or the beautiful hair of a woman, the man will surely got excited and his lust will start to control him. And this is what Islam don't want because when the lust start to control a person, he will surely lost his mind..But hey, some women said that why must we closed our hair? Well, we never know what a person like to see. Sometime a man can get excited by just seeing some blond hair. So, in Islam, we like to take prevention since prevention is better than cure..
