When he put on a new dress, he would thank ALLAH in the following words mentioning the name of the dress.
O Allaah ! all praises are due to thee: As You have clothed me, I ask Thee to grant me its benefit and benefit of what it is made for. I seek refuge with thee from its evil and the evil of what it is made for. Sometimes he prayed as follows:
All praise is due to ALLAH who has clothed me with something with which to cover my nakedness and adorn myself in my lifetime. |

Definition of TaraweehHafiz Ibn Hajar (R.A.) (died 852 a.h.) says in Fathul Baari - commentary of Bukhari: “Taraweeh is the plural of tarwehah which means one occasion of rest similar to the word ‘tasleemah’ from ‘salaamah.’ Salaah in Jama’ah (congregation) in the nights of Ramadhaan is called taraweeh, because initially when they gathered upon it they needed to rest between every 2 sets of slaam (i.e. between every 4 rakaats) [Fathul Baari vol.4 pg.294]. Allamah qastalani (R.A.) in his commentary in bukhari “Irshaadus Saaree” mentions the very same definition as above (Irshaadus Saree vol.4 pg.575). |

Paring the nails According to traditions he used to get his nails pared either on Friday or on Thursday in the following order:
Right hand: forefinger, middle finger, ring finger and little finger.
Left hand: little finger, ring finger, middle finger, forefinger thumb and right thumb.
In getting the nails of his feet pared, the Holy Prophet observed the following order: Right foot: beginning with the little toe to the great toe successively. Left foot: beginning with the right toe to the little one successively. The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to get his nails pared every fifteenth day. [Shamail-e-Tirmizi] CLIPPING OF NAILS AND MOUSTACHE ON FRIDAY Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) before going to Friday Salaah used to clip his nails and moustaches. [Ma’rif -ul- Hadis] |

His Beard The beard of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) was so thick and profuse that it covered the whole of his chest. [Shamail-e-Tirmizi]
In Madarij-un-Nubawa, it has been stated on the authority of Ashifa of Qadi Ayaz that the Holy Prophet’s (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) beard had so much profuse hair that it had covered the whole of his chest. According to Hanafi school of thought, it should not be less than a handful. [Madarij-un-Nubawa] In a number of traditions, Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) has commanded growing of beard and has impressed the trimming of moustache. The majority of theologians have held that clipping the moustache is sunnah but clipping should be done in a manner resembling shaving. [Khasail-e-Nabawa] Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do the opposite of what the polytheists do: let the beard grow long and clip the moustache." [Zad-il-Ma’ad, Muslim, Bukhari] Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do not let forty days elapse without trimming the moustache and paring the nails." [Sahi Muslim]. Hadrat lbn Umar (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Do the opposite of what the polytheists do: let the beard grow long and clip the moustache." [Zad-uI-Ma’ad, Muslim, Bukhari] |

The hair of Prophet (saw)
Moderation in adornment
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to comb his hair very often. Whenever he saw anyone with disheveled and untidy hair, he would express his dislike and say: Has any one of you seen him, indicating him to be a devil. In like manner he did not approve of men who indulged much in self-adornment or had very long hair. He loved moderation. [Madarij-un-Nubawah].
In another tradition, it occurs that he used to comb his hair every second day. [Nashrut Tib].

Brief Summary of the Dars held after Fajar Salah by our imam MI Muhammad The Hair of Prophet (saw) The hair of the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) was in length up to the middle of his ears. In other traditions his hair was in line with the ears and in a third tradition his hair reached the lobes of his ears. Yet there are traditions according to which his hair came down to the shoulders or near the shoulders. [Shamail-e-Tirmizi] All these traditions can be reconciled if it is taken that when he applied oil or combed it, the hair looked longer, alternatively, the traditions represent the position before and after trimming. In Mawahib and also in Majma’ul Bihar it has been mentioned that if there was long interval after trimming the hair, it would grow long and after trimming it would be short. This indicates that the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) used to have his hair trimmed and not shaved. About shaving (halq), the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) has himself mentioned that excepting the occasions of Hajj and Umra, he did not have the hair shaved. [Madrij-un-Nubawah} Either one should retain hair on the whole of his head or should get it shaved completely. Keeping hair on a part is undesirable Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "One who has hair on his head and has a beard, should keep them in order." [Mishkat] It is permissible to dye the beard with henna or leave it grey. The women should dye their nails with henna. [Abu Daud] |

These days many Muslims, feel that the sighting of the moon for the commencement of the new Islamic month, Eid and Hajj is an outdated practice which should be done away with. This booklet outlines the basis for this practice.
Introduction
These days many Muslims, ignorant and ‘enlightened’, feel that the sighting of the moon for the commencement of the new Islamic month, Eid and Hajj is an outdated practice which should be done away with. They accuse the Ulama of being backward and being against progress and scientific inventions. They claim that life would be much easier if we instead submit to modern day instruments of observation and observatory reports regarding the sighting of the moon.

It is from amongst Islamic and ancient civilisations for men to cover their head. The usage of a hat to cover the head also originates from ancient' time, though there are difference of opinion to the nature of the hat. Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has entitled a heading in his book Sahih Al Bukhari (Page 862 Volume 2) underwhich Allamah Ibn Batal Al Maliki (r.a) states:- |
