اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! I immediately repented of all my past sins and deleted all the songs from my mobile and computer, and affiliated myself with the Madani environment of Dawat-e-Islami. This Madani environment has completely changed my life, inspiring me to adorn my face with a beard, a sign for the love of the Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم, I also adorned my head with a green turban and my body with Sunnah-conforming Madani clothing. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ By the time of giving this piece of writing, I am busy making determined efforts for the Madani activities of Dawat-e-Islami in a hostel of a university as an educational representative of Dawat-e-Islami.

Dear Islamic brothers! In conclusion, I will take this opportunity to mention the excellence of a Sunnah as well as some Sunan and manners. The Prophet of Rahmah, the Intercessor of the Ummah صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘Whoever loves my Sunnah, loves me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Jannah.’

(Ibn ‘Asakir, vol. 9, pp. 343)

2.         Kohl powder made from other stones can also be used. It is, however, Makruh (disliked) for a man to use black kohl with the intention of makeup but if that is not the intention, it is not Makruh.

(Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 359)
