mention that the forenoon indicates upon the light of the beloved Prophet’s beauty, and night indicates upon the fragrant hair of the beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .^[1]

In this case, the verse would mean: ‘O beloved ( صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم ), by your radiant countenance! And by your blessed hair when it veils your noble face.’

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد 

Description of the blessed hair

Dear Islamic brothers! Our beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  always kept all the hair of his blessed head (i.e., he never cut a part and left another part. He kept it in full, or whenever he shaved it, he shaved it all). Sometimes his beautiful tresses would reach to half his ear, sometimes to his earlobe, and sometimes they would caress his blessed shoulders. His blessed hair was neither curly nor completely straight, rather it was between these two.^[2]

Keeping longer hair is a Sunnah

Dear Islamic brothers! It is also established from narrations that our beloved Prophet  صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم  always kept long hair. Cutting the hair or shaving it is not established except in the state of iḥrām. If only we devotees are also blessed to keep long hair, following the Sunnah.

Unfortunately, these days strange hairstyles are in fashion. Some ignorant people grow very long hair that fall below their shoulders and walk around with ponytails like women. Many have their hair cut in varying styles.
