That's my comment above, it sent before I was done.

I was gonna say with regards to the actual blog; that it's probably unfair to always expect men to lower their gazes aswell. I think you've gotta meet in the middle. Sometimes, through no fault of their own, women get looked at but Caking it on is gonna draw attention to it whatever way you look at it, same way drowning yourself in perfume would get people's attentions too. But it doesn't give men a right to give them the attention, there is something called self control on their parts.

Just use your 'aql' people. (Is that the right word?)

#Before you look at the thorns of the rose , look at it's beauty. Before you complain about the heat of the sun , enjoy it's light. Before you complain about the blackness of the night, think of it's peace and quiet... #

Raj? how come your name is raj? isnt raj a hindu name, no offence..
My god, girls these day they love to pile it on! Im not talking kohl, thats okay. But when your wearing 3 layers of foundation bright blusher, red lipstick and thick eyeliner (proper freshy style) your just wanting to look like a idiot! What is the bloody point in wearing hijab? - Eh. Plus most those girls dont even wear hijab properly, its all meant to be 'fashionable' with either it being really loose, so you can see your neck (unbelieveably stupid) or really short so you can see your hair! And what is up with the camel humps? Big massive things on their heads.. sheesh. its not about covering up no more its about who looks the nicest and who attracts the mst attention. --

I understand your feelings but, many of the sisters are ignorant or just weak and let the fashion aspect take over, there may be a minority that flout the islamic guidelines because they dont see the "big deal, but largely i think theyre of the first two groups. i think when such thoughts come into our heads if we pass sisters dressed inappropriately we should quickly make our excuses or think of our own flaws rather than thinking we are better than them, after all only Allah knows who is closer to Him with regards to faith not us.

It was one of those 'like' things on fb. (I didn't like it, but it was on my newsfeed cuz others had)

i like it... but i was thinking more along the line of waterhose than face wipe...oh well...

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

naah dude i dont think im better than them , i kinda just think why.. thats bout it. and yeaah i kno we all got our own flaws.

just read the first page (love the way Noor was an A-poster wasnt she?) nyways, read teh btia bout vaseline, alwasys wondered that. I personally wouldnt wear vaseline in public... and when i look at my friends who do, it's really eyecatchy...isn't?

a problem with revvy-ers i noticed is that if they disagree with someone they wont take anything good he/she says. but just keep proving them wrong...i don't know...i'm just SAYING. inshaaAllah i'll make sure i dont act like that.

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

What if men are looking at some women because they can't believe how hideous they are?

What are the consequences of that?

 

hm... instersting question.

Generally its to avoid interaction, but generally it can be rude to stare too.

if a MUSLIM guy finds a girl "hideous" he should find it easier to look down no?

Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?

Easier? Come on, the general population make fun of ugly people before their conscience says something. Am I wrong?

I made absolutely no assumptions and I don't see who you're defending there.

I was just asking.

i'm not defending anyone. i'msaying we're muslims so we shouldnt be "making fun of ugly people" so your comment on the "general population" isnt really relevant.

and I am just answering.

With the whole makeup thing...Don't wear it...OUTSIDE. OMG, the whole reason makeup was created was so that a Woman may beautify herself right? So if Allah told Women to hide their beauty wouldn't makeup be haraam? Wait! Im not saying Makeup in itself is haraam, just wearing it outside where NonMahram could see you. Wearing it infront of your husband is fine, encouraged even! Wearing it infront of other Muslim women, fine, it's not like they're homosexual. But what's THE POINT in wearing it outside if not for making yourself look more attractive.
The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wore Kohl before he went to sleep, as it was good for the eyes. So why wear the kohl when you are going outside? Wear it before going to bed.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:
Among the best types of collyrium you use is antimony (Khol) it clears the vision and makes the hair sprout. [Dawud]

THANK YOU

women ahve been wearing cosmetics since the dawn of time
abuot 90% of womenw ear make up
whats it to u if she does

when women wear make up u ocmplain
when they dont their husbands complain ssaying cna tu look good for me

wth!

women dont wear cosmetics to attract men
they do it because they think it makes them look presentable, noeadays its just like rubbing a comb through ur hair

once again
blaming women for ur actions

I doubt most women wear makeup to look presentable these days. It's become the societical norm to wear makeup, cause actually IMO it does the opposite of enhancing ones beauty.

Fair enough as a guy some women think i shouldn't be talking about this issue like i'm an expert on women but all i'm saying is not to immitate the kuffar. IMO you're not really wearing makeup out of your choice but rather because everyone else is and the media and celebrities are selling you this idea and you're buying it.

It goes for men too, the media try to paint a picture of what men should look like too, clean shaven, tight clothes etc.

Just my opinion so i may be wrong. Just saying don't be a fool and follow these kuffars (to brothers and sisters). Not saying you can't wear jeans etc.

Lol. Women wear make up for many different reasons, you cannot pin it down to one thing. Just out of interest, why do you think they wear it?

And how do you know, have you tried wearing make up?

Lol. Wearing make up is imitating disbelievers? That is the funniest thing i've heard in a long time. The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wore surma, surma is make up. Imitating the kuffar is when you have a Christmas tree up not applying liquid eyeliner.

In your opinion? LOL. Number 1, you are male, you don't know what goes on in the minds of women. I wear make up and I certainly don't wear it because i have been sold into wearing it. Beautification has existed since the beginning of time, to say it is a western/kuffar phenomena is absurd. Islamically women are encourged to look nice for their husbands.

Calm down, he clearly said it was his opinion and he obviously doesn't know from a women's perspective. Nothing wrong with sharing your opinion - it didn't need to be challenged in such a harsh manner :/

I'm sure he will have regrets on his words when his wife makes zero efforts for him.

I can't speak for why every individual woman would wear makeup, i was just saying it's fashionable to wear makeup.

And how do you know, have you tried wearing make up?

I don't need to wear makeup to find it distasteful. Just my opinion.

Surma isn't makeup, it's good for the eyes and he Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) only used it before going to sleep. Imitating the kuffar doesn't just apply to the traditions they follow. IMO it's their practice to wear it outside the house.

I clearly said that i'm not gonna pretend i know what women think cause i don't, yes because i'm a man. I don't know about you but most people buy the latest makeup cause some celebrities wear it and wearing makeup outside just attracts attention which defeats the purpose of covering up. I didn't say it was a western thing but defo a kuffar thing. Yes women are encouraged to look presentable but only for their mahrams and that doesn't mean slapping on blusher and foundation and what have you.

Anyway i'm no Scholar, i just got bored so i thought i'd post something.

yes it is.

Grooming is from Islam.

After expeditions and battles etc, the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) used to stop in the outskirts of madinah and sendd message that they were returning so that the women could dress up etc.

Looking grizzly however is not from Islam.

Exactly, since when on earth was makeup invented by the "kffars"
actually

guys its a conspiracy
these kuffars are trying to sell us this idea of ....god forbid...COSMETICS!
stop them before its too late!!!!!

Lol. Make up doesn't go in and out of season, that's clothes and shoes. People have always wore make up.

Lol. You just reminded me of something my Shaykh mentioned in a lecture. Shaykh was delivering a lecture once in a Masjid and it was being recorded, a man came and shouted that is shirk and started reciting all the verses of shirk from the Qur'an, after he had Shaykh asked him now tell me why is that shirk, i too believe in those verses but how is that related to this?

If surma isn't make up then what is it? Yes we know it is good for the eyes but how does that negate the fact that it is make up?

That is like saying Itr isn't perfume.

No, it isn't their practice. All women wear make up in and outside the house. Would niqaabis be imitating the kuffar if they wore make up outside the house? I think you need to study what it means to imitate the disbelievers.

That's a different topic.

We're talking about two completely different subjects here. Nobody said not to keep yourself looking tidy. I'm just saying we shouldn't overdo it and attract attention.

And who were the wives supposed to look good for? If that is a different subject than i apologize since i thought this included those who wear makeup outside.

What do you consider a decent amount of grooming/makeup?

(because this is just a friendly discussion, I will tell you my aim - to show you that even the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) himself may have done more than what you consider the decent amount.)
