PLUCKING OF EYEBROWS & WEARING MAKE UP TO ATTRACT OPPOSITE SEX IS FORBIDDEN IN CHRISTIANITY & ISLAM (FROM BIBLE & QURAN)

Keeping us away from Haraamic acts is also Ibadath and islamic discipline.

SISTERS, KINDLY READ THIS MAIL FULLY, AND FORWARD IT TO MANY MORE SISTERS TO GIVE THEM THE ORIGINAL BEAUTY BEFORE THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

IN CHRISTIANITY :

The modern craze among women of painting eyelids, plucking out eyebrows and penciling false ones supposedly to enhance beauty is spoken of in the bible as unworthy of God-fearing women.

MAKE UP

THE TREACHEROUS JEZEBEL PAINTED HER EYES (II KINGS 9:30)

Jezebel was a queen and she is rated first among the top ten BAD WOMEN OF BIBLE.

‘...the palace dogs had got to her first, and all that remained of this royal woman was her head and her hands.’

SHOW OFF

Judah's Women Denounced

 Isaiah 16 : Moreover, the LORD said, "Because the (V)daughters of Zion are proud And walk with heads held high and seductive eyes,And go along with mincing steps And tinkle the bangles on their feet,

    Isaiah 17 : Therefore the Lord will afflict the scalp of the daughters of Zion with scabs,And the LORD will make their foreheads bare."

In the light of the Prophet’s rebuke we can understand Peter’s counsel to Christian not to be over concerned about their beauty, external adornment, such as showy apparel, braiding of hair and display of jewels. Rather they should seek the inner apparel and quiet spirit.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes.(I Peter 3:3)

Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.(I Peter 3:4)

IN ISLAM:

MAKE UP

When Muslim women go outside their homes, especially in mixed gatherings, then they should be more careful about their appearance. Their appearance should not be to show off or to invite the glances of men towards them, but to keep their own dignity and honor. They must guard the purity of their own selves as well as the purity of the society around them. Muslim women in America frequently go to their Islamic centers and mosques, and we actually encourage them to do so, because this is necessary for their own and their family's Islamic education, but they must come to the Islamic centers in very modest Islamic dress and appearance." 

Allah said, “I will mislead them, and I will create them false desires; I will order them to slit the ears of the cattle, and to deface the fair nature created by GOD” Whoever forsaking God takes Satan as a friend hath of a surety suffered a loss that is manifest.(An Nisa 4:119)

PLUCKING EYEBROWS & WEARING WIGS

Thinning eyebrows or changing their shape is forbidden in Islam. The Prophet has cursed the woman who does it to other women and the one who requests such an action. The prohibition is emphasized if such an action is the practice of women who indulge in indecent conduct. However, plucking of facial hair by a woman is permissible, particularly if the hair so plucked is considered unsightly. It may be useful to point out another unacceptable practice which relates to a woman's appearance. This is the elongation of hair by using somebody else's hair or artificial hair. Again, the Prophet curses the woman who does it and the one who requests it. This includes the usage of a wig to change one's appearance.

The Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has said “Allah curses female tattooers and those who are tattooed, those who remove facial hair, those who have it removed and those who file their teeth for the purpose of beautification and all those who modify Allah’s creation”

EXCEPTIONAL CASES:

1. BUT, IF THE EYEBROWS AND UPPER LIP HAIR MAKES THE WOMAN LOOKS LIKE A MAN. THEN IT IS PERMISSIBLE FOR HER TO

 

• REMOVE THE UPPER LIP HAIR
• REMOVE THE HAIR BETWEEN THE EYEBROWS ONLY.

2. If the husband is unhappy with his wife’s moustache, then it is permissible to remove the upper lip hair.

The beauty of a woman should always be rendered wholly to her husband to his satisfaction, according to all the sacred scriptures. None of the sacred scriptures encourages women attracting men other than their husband.

So, WOMEN BE YOURSELF, GIVE YOURSELF AND YOUR BEAUTY OF HEART & BODY ONLY TO YOUR HUSBAND AND NOT TO ANY OTHER MEN. THE HAPPINESS YOU RECEIVE IN AND REWARDS IN THE HEREAFTER FOR IT IS PROMISED TO BE BOUNTY BY THE ALMIGHTY GOD.

EVERY WOMEN IS GIFTED WITH BEAUTY OF HEART & BODY.GUARD IT FOR YOUR HUSBAND ALONE.
