Awrah/Defect/Blemish
There are many words to translate this term but if the context is Islamic, you may want to use the word transliterated. I suggest you put the meaning in a footnote.

thing of concealment
It is sometimes translated as 'intimate parts' or even nakedness as here in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimate_parts_(Islam)
However I prefer the translation 'thing of concealment' as it conveys the intended purpose.
In translation I would add a footnote to explain it however if not already explained in the text.
