Jamal e Mustafa

Book Name:Jamal e Mustafa

As you have just learned from this hadith, inviting towards righteousness earns one the same reward as giving charity. Try your best to take part in Dawat-e-Islami’s area visits; you will earn many blessings from Allah Almighty.

Dear Islamic brothers, alongside possessing the highest levels of beauty, the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم also liked purity and cleanliness. For this reason, take care of your personal hygiene and pay attention to remaining clean. You should also make use of permissible forms of adornment and beautification. The final Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم once mentioned, اِنّ اللہَ جَمِیْلٌ یُحِبُّ الْجَمالَ - “Allah is beautiful, and He loves beauty.”[1] Let us now go into detail as to what forms of adornment are forbidden and allowed.

For men, wearing a gold ring is haram. They may wear a silver ring weighing less than 4 ½ masha (4.3 grams), which contains one stone. More than one ring cannot be worn at once, nor can one with multiple stones nor bands; these are all impermissible for men.

For women, they may wear any form of gold and silver, or bands, and wear all forms of jewellery. The only exclusion is jewellery which generates sound; this is impermissible. It is also haram for a prepubescent boy to wear jewellery, and whosoever makes him don such is sinful.[2]

If an individual is blessed with wealth by Allah Almighty, Islam gives permission to wear good clothing and expensive attire, regardless of it being a male or female. This should be done to highlight and exhibit the bounties Allah Almighty has blessed them with, not for ostentation.[3]
