Salaama All, I hope you guy's enjoy this article as much as I did... I got it from Islamway.com!!.... Ma'salaama ............................. In Search of the Body Beautiful By: 'Itrat Azad There seems no limit nowadays to the extent that women (and men!) are prepared to go to in order to achieve that 'perfect look'. Forget false eyelashes and wigs, we are now talking scalpels, implants and liposuction!! Cosmetic surgery amongst film actresses has been commonplace for quite some time now, but these days, we wouldn't be too hard pressed to find ordinary women on the street who are more plastic than real! Indeed, in some circles, having multiple facelifts has become a status symbol: the more you have, the higher you are in the status rankings. If questioned whether cosmetic surgery was Islamically correct or not, then without doubt, most Muslims would instinctively respond by saying that it isn't, for the simple reason that it would be interfering with Allaah's creation. And certainly, this would be the correct response. The Companion, Ibn Mas'ood, radiAllaahu 'anhu, once said (quoting what he had heard the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, say): "Allaah has cursed the tattooers and those who have themselves tattooed, and those women who have their teeth filed for beauty and those who have their [facial] hair plucked and thus alter Allaah's creation." A woman remarked, "What's all this?" So Ibn Mas'ood - radiAllaahu 'anhu - said: "Should I not curse one whom Allaah's Messenger cursed? And it is in the Book of Allaah!" She said: "I have read the Qur'aan from cover to cover, but I did not find that in it." He replied: "If you had read it thoroughly you would have found it. Allaah says, 'Whatever the Messenger gives you, take it and whatever he has forbidden, retrain from it’" [sooratul-Hashr (59):7]. 1 So the Prophet Muhammad, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, forbade women from performing these three practices which the women commonly did for the sake of beauty in those days - seemingly 'insignificant' practices for which they would incur the CURSE of Allaah. And this forbiddence isn't just restricted to the procedures mentioned in the hadeeth. Because Allaah says in more general terms in His Book: "So set your face truly to the faith, Allaah's handiwork according to the pattern on which He has made mankind, [Let there be] no change in the creation of Allaah." 2 [soorah ar-Room (30):30]. Therefore, it is obligatory for us to accept the creation of Allaah as it is, not making any alterations to it.3 More importantly though, it is also obligatory or us to believe that all of Allaah's creation is beautiful, because Allaah, the Khaaliq (Creator) does not create anything except with beauty and perfection, which is why He says to mankind: "You can see no fault in the creation of ar-Rahmaan [the Most Merciful]. Then look again: can you see any rifts? Then look again and yet again, your sight will return to you in a state of humiliation and worn out." [soorah al-Mulk (67):3]. This may all sound quite strange when we consider how often we hear women complaining about their appearance. In fact, it is estimated that over half of the Western women today actually perceive themselves to be ugly. In addition, surveys show that nearly all women feel under pressure to "look good". As a result, the quest for beauty has become a serious preoccupation for many women. Open up any women’s magazine and you will not fail to find a single one which doesn't contain tips on how to "look good", or which don't contain huge adverts promoting new creams that halt the aging process or concealers to hide wrinkles, etc. Beauty today is big business. Beauty contests are very profitable and - contrary to popular belief - more are spawned every year. The cosmetics market is a multi-billion dollar industry; the demand for cosmetic surgery is growing at a tremendous rate. All three industries promote the same notions o beauty that women everywhere are expected to meet: mainly a white, European, "Barbie-doll" like standard. The pressures on women to conform to these standards are enormous and few are able to withstand them.4 The fact is that Western women today may complain that they are not treated with equality and respect, but it is they themselves who have made it acceptable for society worldwide to see women merely as beauty-objects who are there to be ogled by the men who in turn are the (im)polite voyeurs. When viewed in this light, we find that beauty contests are not too dissimilar to reality itself: just as the tallest, slimmest blonde girl gets the title in the beauty contest, in the real world it's the tallest, slimmest blonde girl who gets the man! In Islaam, beauty is not just in the eye of the beholder, beauty is in the whole of creation, because Allaah - the One free of all imperfections - is the one responsible for it. And as Allaah says: "Your Lord creates whatsoever He wills and chooses: no choice have they. SubhaanAllaah! And far removed is He from the partners they ascribe [to Him]." [soorah al-Qasas (28):68]. So it is from the wisdom of Allaah that He has chosen to create some of us short, others tall, some fat, some thin, some dark-coloured, some light - all are beautiful and perfect in their own right. That is why we are taught from the Sunnah, the beautiful du'aa (supplication) that the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, would say: "O Allaah, as You have made my appearance beautiful, likewise make my character beautiful." (Allaahumma kamaa hassanta khalaqee fa hassin khuluqee). 5 As Muslims, we must believe that evil and imperfection cannot be attributed to Allaah.6 The desire to change any aspect of ourselves means, in effect, that we are dissatisfied with Allaah's choice and His handiwork, and that there is imperfection in what He has created. Thus to say about ourselves or anyone else that we or they are ugly is a great sin. This point was reinforced by the Prophet, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, when he once saw the Companion, 'Amr ibn Fulaan al-Ansaaree, radiAllaahu 'anhu, whose izaar (lower garment) was hanging low (to the ground), so he, sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, ordered that he raise it. ‘Amr made an excuse saying that he had skinny shins (i.e. he was embarrassed to show them), so the Prophet responded by saying: "O 'Amr! Verily Allaah - the Mighty and the Majestic - has created everything in the best form." 7 All this is certainly not intended to discourage women to look after themselves and adorn themselves in lawful ways (e.g. wearing nice clothes, having nicely done hair, etc.). Indeed, adorning oneself is something that the wives are obliged to do for their husbands and Allaah rewards the woman who pleases the husband when he looks at her.8 But with these tremendous pressures on women to conform to the ideals set by the marketing media, it may be hard for Muslim women to resist feeling insecure or uncomfortable about their appearance. Consequently, many Muslim women have shed their hijaabs for the sake of following fashion; Muslim women too develop inferiority complexes about themselves. We must bear in mind that this search for the 'body beautiful' is, in reality, a deception from Shaitaan. Shaitaan has vowed that he will create such false desires in mankind. He has said (as stated in the Qur'aan): "Surely I will arouse in them [mankind] false desires; and certainly I will order them to slit the ears of cattle, and indeed I will order them to change the nature created by Allaah." [soorah an-Nisaa’ (4):119]. May Allaah always keep us safe from the false promises of Shaitaan, for Verily He is the One who guides to the Truth. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes 1. Reported by Ibn Mas'ood and collected in Saheeh Muslim (English trans, vo1. 3, p.1166, no.5301). This incident is a good illustration of the status which the Sunnah held in front of the Companions. 2. Note that this forbiddence applies to the whole of creation, not just human beings. Therefore, defacing any part of Allaah’s creation is haraam. By extension, this ruling also applies to all forms of genetic engineering, which are carried out on farm animals, for example, in order to procure more profitable meat from them. 3. This is with the exception of those things which have been prescribed in the Sharee'ah, e.g. clipping the nails, shaving the underarms and around the private parts, etc. 4. In fact, some women go to such extremes that it results in them developing health problems - anorexia nervosa - for instance. The carcinogenic nature of breast implants are also well documented now. No doubt, the future will reveal more harmful effects of these artificial means of changing creation. 5. One hadeeth which contains this supplication mentions that this du'aa should be recited on looking in the mirror. However, the chain (isnaad) of this hadeeth is not authentic. But it is authentically reported as a supplication to be recited at any time. (See Ibn Taimiyyah's al-Kalimat-Tayyib with al-Albaanee’s footnotes.) 6. For an explanation of this important aspect of belief, please refer to The Prophet’s Prayer Described (p.15). 7. Saheeh - collected in the Musnad of Imaam Ahmad (vo1.4, p.200). 8. See Musnad Ahmad, an-Nasaa'ee and others. Also, it is forbidden for the husband to invoke ugliness upon the wife - as was a common practice amongst the pre-Islamic Arabs. originally appeared in Ad-da'wah ilallah magazine, Volume 1, Issue 3. ------------------ "If Allah helps you, none can overcome you: If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? in Allah, then, Let believers put their trust" al-Qur'an 3:160

Some enemies of Islam have established an on-line Quran Surah with addition of some self-written SURAH; examples can be seen on the web site on the Internet (shown below). It's very dangerous for the Muslim world, especially for the newly converted Muslims or the Muslims who don't know much about Islam and Quran; they might read all this FALSE and Bad material. Kindly send this message (with the web sites shown below) to inform as many persons as you can. 1) One of the sites as an example of their Quran is: http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/park/geq96/original http://dialspace.dial.pipex.com/town/park/geq96/original> THOSE WHO READ THE QUR-AN AND UNDERSTAND THE ARABIC LANGUAGE CAN EASILY MAKE OUT THE DIFFERENCE. 2) There is another site that hsa been launched by the Israelis http://www.thequran.com http://www.thequran.com> Please forward this e-mail to all Muslims you know, to be aware and be careful... NOTE: 1. As myself, i knew the differences, especially site # 1 in the sura they call it (surat Musilimoon) which is NOT in the Holy Quran. 2.

Salaama All... I really don't see what the problem is? Another wife? means Less responsibility for ME!....Heck yea I'll Find him another one if he wants it..

Salaama All... Hmmm well, I think I'm dhagax waa halkii OG-Moti yee...I find it very very very difficult for me to tell someone that I love them not because of anything else but because I've hard time falling in love!...Infact come to think of it.. I dont believe it exists or perhaps It's not meant for me...Oh, Well...that is my Life! Nice topic for a change though..Thx Soul sista..... Ma'salaama

Salaama All.... He said She said...He this She that!...haven't we learn anything? This gender related posts only bring trouble! and no one is perfect Man or Woman we are quick to blame others and avoid the real issues that are present in our communities here in the west and back home.....Oh my...When will we learn?? Ma'salaama

Salaama All... First of all, I totally AGREE with ya Ameenah...Afkaaga caano macaan lagu qabay Ukhtii....... 2ndly......It's time we accept the Social Changes! times are not the same, places are not the same and people are not the same anymore compare to 15yrs ago when we were in our country... what we need to do instead of pointing fingers at the opposite sex is learn how to live together peacefully..Men need to be MEN and stop whining 24/7 about their Xaliimoz and WOMEN need to start treating their Kings as such... We live in a time where one source of income is not enough to raise a whole family! so If our Xaliimooyin go out and work side by side with their special other this shouldn't be seen as if we are running away from our(womanly) responsibilities but rather as an act of courage& hard work especially if she has children...Believe me it's not easy for a mother to leave her child alone with a babysitter or someone else while she is doing the 9-5 on daily basis....... Things will Never ever be the same as they were when we were back home! and that is OK However Instead of copying and adopting the bad elements of these other cultures why not adopt the good elemements and mix that with your Islamic Values?? Not everything was good about our Culture and everything aint groovy with the western culture either........ We also have to be more carefull of who we marry....the right person=Right Marriage=perfect life!!..........W/Allah's Permission of course........ Ma'salaama
