Skin

Avatar - a complex and dynamic digital representation of a person or being in the form of a digital model, used online as a simulation or emulation of a person, or as a person's online alter ego, in a virtual world, virtual chat room, or metaverse.

Etymology

The triliteral root jīm lām dāl (ج ل د) occurs in the Quran 13 times.

Compare with English «shelter»' - a refuge, haven or other cover or protection from something, «shield» - "anything that protects or defends; defense; shelter; protection".

Skin will bear witness

(41:20) When they come to it, their own hearing, eyes, and their skins (arab. وَجُلُودُهُمْ, wajulūduhum) will bear witness to everything they had done.

(4:56) Those who have rejected Our ideas, We will admit them to a fire. Every time their skins (arab. جُلُودُهُمْ, julūduhum) are cooked, We replace them with another skin (Arab. جُلُودًا, julūdan) that they may taste the retribution. Allah is Noble, Acuminate.
