I understand there are two types of sunnah, one sunnah is that which is strongly emphasized to be practiced and one that is merely optional and usually when practiced by someone, it practiced out of love for Prophet Sal-Allah-Alaihi-Wassalam. If using coal/mascara is as sunnah, which type? Other types of kohl carry a superficial and short term beauty effect. Unlike Ithmid (antimony) kohl, they do not go deep and start introducing structural changes that result in you obtaining universal beauty characteristics. As soon as they are washed off, the beauty goes with them. Kohl has also been used in Yemen as a cosmetic for a long time. In addition, mothers would apply kohl to their infants' eyes soon after birth. Some did this to "strengthen the child's eyes", and others believed it could prevent the child from being cursed by the evil eye. [16] Antimony can be found in soils, waters and air in very small amounts. Antimony will mainly pollute soils. Through groundwater it can travel great distances towards other locations and surface waters.

Everything will need quality assurance, of course. This is a major challenge. We need expertise from a number of other disciplines to interpret our findings correctly. For example philosophy, theology and medicine, as well as all the major philologies of the Ancient Orient, in particular Semitic languages such as Akkadian, Aramaic, Hebrew, Ethiopic and Old South Arabian. But also all stages of Persian. Gradually, we wish to open the database to the entire world, according to the Wikipedia model." Usage of kohl eye paint in the Horn of Africa dates to the ancient Kingdom of Punt. [7] Somali, Djiboutian, Ethiopian, and Eritrean women have long applied kohl ( kuul) for cosmetic purposes, as well as to cleanse the eyes, lengthen eyelashes, and to protect the eyes from the sun's rays. [18] [19] West Africa [ edit ] Galena [formula: PbS], also called lead glance, is the natural mineral form of lead(II) sulfide. It is the most important ore of lead and an important source of silver. What are the roots of the word “alcohol”, and do its origins have anything to do with a “body-eating spirit”? Kohl has been worn traditionally since the Naqada III era (c. 3100 BCE) by Egyptians of all social classes, originally as protection against eye ailments. [4] [5] There was also a belief that darkening around the eyes would protect one from the harsh rays of the sun. [6] Ancient Egyptian women wearing kohl, from a tomb mural in Thebes (1420–1375 BCE)This method of making the eyes attractive has been practised by eastern women since the days of antiquity. For thousands of years the ladies of Asia and North Africa have used kohl to darken and enlarge their eyes, thus giving them an air of mystery. The striking sloe-eyed beauties one sees in these lands are a testimony to the magic effect of this ancient cosmetic. The practice was both a superstitious belief to protect their souls and avoid evil spirits (or better, the ‘evil eye’), and an actual cure to the eye infections circulating in the desert. The interesting aspect is that kohl was a substance obtained through one of the earliest processes of distillation in human history! For those of us who choose to or must use non-ithmid kuhl, please, please, please bear in mind the intention for doing so (to follow the sunnah of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallem). Andreas Unger, a German philologist (someone who studies words and their development) explained to German media outlet Deutsche Welle (DW) that the English and German words for alcohol do come from the Arabic term “al-kuhl”.

Yet another graphic even claims that “they” are “pushing” hand sanitisers because these contain “alcohol (Al-Kuhl) which is a body eating spirit that lowers your vibration”.Love : because the prophet`s صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ commandment for us to use Ithmid Kohl is a reflection of his never-ending efforts to teach his Ummah everything that is of a benefit to them. Some even consider Ithmid Kohl as a miracle showing the truthfulness of the prophet as the prophet described accurately benefits of Ithmid Kohl (vision improvement and hair growth) which always occur as exactly as he صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ mentioned. kḥal) ( feminine كحلا‎ ( kaḥla ), common plural كوحل‎ ( kūḥel ), masculine plural كحلين‎ ( kaḥlīn ), feminine plural كحلات‎ ( kaḥlāt ), elative أكحل‎ ( ʔakḥal ) or كحل ( kḥal ))

Pride : because Ithmid Kohl is yet another example of the many practical Islamic teachings relating to health and well-being which have been shown to be enormously beneficial. It makes one proud to be a follower of such a great religion that is full of sound practices that are not based on superstition and mere faith only, but actually works and delivers.The Greek and Latin terms for antimony, stibium, στίβι, στίμμι, were borrowed from the Egyptian name sdm.
