Asalamu Alaykum Wa rahmatallah,
Did You Know...
'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet (saw) said:
'Allah had cursed those women who tattoo and who have themselves tattooed, those who pluck hair from their faces (plucking and shaping eyebrows) and those who make spaces between their teeth for beautification, changing what Allah has created.'
This news reached a woman of the tribe of Asad who was called Umm Ya'qub and she used to recite the Holy Qur'an. She came to him and said: What is this news that has reached me from you that you curse those women who tattoo and those women who have themselves tattooed, the women who pluck hair from their faces and who make spaces between their teeth for beautification changing what Allah has created? Thereupon 'Abdullah said: Should I not curse one upon whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) has invoked curse and that is in the Book also. Thereupon that woman said: I read the Qur'an from cover to cover, but I did not find that in it, whereupon he said: If you had read (thoroughly) you would have definitely found this in that (as) Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has said: And whatsoever the Messenger (Muhammad SAW) gives you, take it, and whatsoever he forbids you, abstain (from it) That woman said: I find this thing in your wife even now. Thereupon he said: Go and see her. She reported: I went to the wife of 'Abdullah but found nothing of this sort in her. She came back to him and said: I have not seen anything, whereupon he said: Had there been anything like it in her, I would have never slept with her in bed. [Sahih Muslim: 3966]
We learn from the above hadith that plucking and shaping of the eyebrow is not permissible though this practice is very common amongst muslim women (and believe it or not, men as well!) The important thing to note here is that following Rasool Allah is NOT an option. We must follow his (saw) teachings as Allah has commanded us to do so in the above verse.
It is not always easy to stay away from that which your heart desires. Shaytaan puts love in our hearts for such futile things. He deceives us into believing that the sayings of our Rasool are insignificant. However, as long as we remember the verse below, it will give us all the motivation to follow our beloved Prophet(saw) and carry out his sunnah in the best of ways.
“Say (O Muhammad) : If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your sins, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [Al-Imran : 35]
