CONCEPT OF PLUCKING EYEBROWS, TATOOS & FILING TEETH IN ISLAM...Shaping the eyebrows by plucking them in order to look beautiful has always been an issue among the females. Heres some valuable and authentic information from the Islamic point of view stating hadeeths and Quranic verses.Our beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,By Him in Whose hands is my life (Allah the Almighty), necessarily you should enjoin good and check evil, or else Allah will certainly send chastisement (punishment) upon you. Otherwise, you will pray but your supplications will not be accepted. (Tirmidhi)Plucking the eyebrows is totally forbidden and is considered to be one of the major sins. Scholars classify sins as major and minor on the fact that if there is any sin which is attached with a curse or being expelled by the mercy of Allah is a major sin.Abdullah Ibn Masood narrates thatThe Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said,Allah has cursed the women who do tattoos and those who have this done, the women who pluck eyebrows and those who have this done, and the women who file their teeth and change the creation of Allah.His saying reached a lady from Banu Asad who came to him and said, I have come to know that you have cursed such-and-such ladies?He replied Why should I not curse those whom The Messenger of Allah has cursed and who are (cursed) in Allahs book. the lady said, I have read the whole Quran but I didnt find in it what you said.He said, Verily if you have read it (i.e. the Quran) you must have found it. Didnt you read,And whatsoever the Messenger gives you take it and whatsoever he forbids, abstain (from it). (59:7)She replied, Yes I did., he said, verily Allahs Messenger forbade such things. She said, But i see your wife doing these things? He said, Go and watch her. She went and watched her but could not see anything in support of her statement. On that he said, If my wife was as you thought, I would not keep her in my company(i.e . I would divorce her).(Sahih Bukhari, Vol.6, hadith No.408)Also bear in mind brothers and sisters Shaytaan who is an open enemy to the Muslim said:I will take an appointed portion of your slaves.Verily, I shall mislead them and surely I shall give them long hopes,and certainly, I shall order them to slit the ears of cattle,and shall order them to change (alter) the creation of Allah.And whoever takes shaytan as a wali instead of Allah, has surely suffered a manifest loss. (4:119)Some sisters protest that shaping the eyebrows is allowed if its done to please their spouses.It is important to note here, that if it was allowed, the hadeeth would have mentioned it. But it totally forbids and the reason is obvious too....it is changing the creation of Allah!This rule applies to cosmetic surgery too i.e. making the nose thinner, the lips thicker, etc.Changing the creation of Allah on any body part is forbidden & should be refrained from.Sisters Remember & Ponder:• The pleasure of forbidden actions is followed by regret, loss and punishment in this world and the Hereafter.• Worshipping Allah, trying to please Him is our main goal in life.• Real beauty is achieved by loving Allah, fearing Him and following His orders and His Messengers way of life.• What is more important? Allahs love and mercy, or this forbidden act which will incur Allahs anger and punishment?Narrated Abu Hurairah,Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him) said,All my followers will enter Paradise except those who refuse. They said, O Allahs Messenger! Who will refuse?He said, Whoever obeys me will enter paradise and whoever disobeys me is the one who refuses (to enter it). (Bukhari) The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action.” [Muslim 1893]
