Why are most Westerners more beautiful than Arabs, taking into account Allah's promise to believers of "Al-Hoorein" (wide-eyed, beautiful virgins) in Paradise, which indicates the importance of beauty?

We do not concede the validity of the claim that beauty is preferred over other things, as it is a relative matter in which tastes differ. Beauty is beloved by souls, just like other blessings such as wealth and health. These blessings are types of sustenance that Allah has distributed among His servants according to His wisdom and knowledge, thereby realizing the diversity of creation and the wisdom of existence.
