1. The Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said, ‘The best kohl (Surmah) among all is Ismid as it strengthens the eyesight and grows the eyelashes.’ (Sunan Ibn Majah, p. 115 vol. 4, Hadees 3497)

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

(Fatawa ‘Aalamgiri, vol. 5, pp. 359)

٭ It is Sunnah to use kohl at the time of sleeping.

(Mirat-ul-Manajih, vol. 6, pp. 180)

٭ Here is the summary of the three narrated methods of using kohl:

1. Sometimes, apply it three times to each eye.

2. Sometimes, apply it three times to the right eye and twice to the left.

3. And sometimes, apply it twice to each eye and then at the end, take the stick, put it into the container so the kohl gets onto it, and then use that stick once on each eye. (See: Shu’ab-ul-Iman, vol. 5, pp. 218-219) By doing this, all three methods will be acted upon, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه.

٭ The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would start every honourable action from the right hand side, so apply kohl to the right eye first and then to the left eye.
