Isra the Veiled was an arrogant and beautiful Arab woman who refused to cover her own modesty and wandered the streets in indecent garb with no shame.

At least until she was cursed by a Sufi and found herself compelled to humble herself before men and cover her beauty in flowing clothes and veils.

The curse also granted her immortal life and powers - now Isra, angry over what has happened, wanders and any man who gazes into her eyes for too long will find themselves transformed into a meek and humble Muslim woman, covered just as much, if not more, than Isra is.

And thus, men who wished to gaze at Isra's beauty themselves become devout and beautiful followers of Islam, cursed to never let the world see their own beauty.
