Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

the intention of earning reward, even in my own street and on the stairs (if I live in a flat/apartment), I will keep my face covered.

·         I will not go outside my house wearing an attractive Burqa’.

·         If I have to speak to a Nā-Maram, I will avoid speaking [to him] in a soft and attractive tone with the intention of acting upon the Quranic Command.

66. Intentions of applying kohl

·         At the time of sleeping, I will act upon the Sunnaĥ of applying kohl to my eyes.

·         I will not apply black kohl or lampblack with the intention of looking beautiful.[1]

·         Sometimes I will apply it thrice in each eye, sometimes three in the right eye and two in the left eye, and sometimes I will apply it twice in both eyes and then at the end once in both eyes with the same kohl-dipped stick.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 



[1] It is Makrūĥ for a man to apply kohl to his eyes with the intention of looking beautiful. However, if this is not the intention, then it is not disliked.
