Hair care is today not only an integral part of the life of a modern person, but also an entire industry, without which the life of society is unthinkable. However, probably today, few people know that for fifteen centuries, Muslims, following the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), have been sensitive to the issue of hair care.

The Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) himself grew his hair, sometimes it barely reached his earlobes, and sometimes it reached his shoulders. But at the same time, He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) periodically changed his hairstyle, combing his hair in different ways, and not in the same way. Based on the traditions of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), we can say that during the time of the Prophet two types of hairstyles were popular in Hijaz: representatives of the Ahl-Kitab, that is, Christians and Jews, left straight bangs, while pagans parted their hair in the middle and combed it them on the sides.

At first, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), like representatives of other monotheistic religions, had straight bangs. After paganism was eradicated from this area, the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) began to comb his hair, dividing it to the right and left.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) advised his ummah: “Whoever has hair, let him look after it,” meaning by “grooming” washing, combing and oiling the hair. He Himself sometimes applied a mask with olive oil, after which He wrapped the hair with a thin soft material, which served as an impregnation for excess oil. The oil nourished the hair with essential vitamins and microorganisms, protecting it from the formation of dandruff.

However, olive oil was not the only means with which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took care of his hair. When rinsing his hair, He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used cedar coniferous leaves, as, indeed, in general when he washed.

According to legend, at the time when Qais Bir Asim (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to accept Islam, the Messenger of Allah ordered him to wash himself with powder from cedar pine needles. There are also legends where, after the death of the daughter of the Blessed Vice (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) Zainab (may Allah be pleased with her), He commanded: “Wash her body with water mixed with cedar pine powder three times, five times, or as many times as necessary.” . When you wash for the last time, add camphor or something like that to the water. And when you finish, let me know.”

According to the results of research by modern scientists, the use of powder from cedar needles served as a good means of protection against microbes and infectious diseases, strengthened the walls of blood vessels, and killed many microbes inside a person.

By the way, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) strictly forbade cutting down cedar trees.

Another remedy used by the Blessed Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the Althea flower. He added it to the water, and the beneficial oils of this plant nourished the hair roots, giving them silkiness.

Gypsophila was also one of the herbs used by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which he used for hair care. According to legends from the Blessed Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the Prophet washed his hair with water with the addition of gypsophila before putting on ihram before the Hajj or Umrah, and then lubricated his hair with a small amount of olive oil.

In the modern world, there are five main religious movements - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism and Buddhism. From them came many more branches - sects and local beliefs.

The oldest books in the world

People tried to convey their vision of the world and their most secret knowledge to their descendants, capturing them first on stones and clay tablets, and later on papyrus and paper. This is how sacred books appeared, which set out the main commandments of each religious movement.

For Christians this is the Bible, for Jews - the Tanakh, for Islamists - the Koran, for Hindus - the Vedas, for Buddhists - the Tripitaka. The purpose of these books is to convey to people information about the creation of the world and establish certain rules in human relationships. In some ways, the religious plots of the holy books and scriptures echo each other, in some ways, on the contrary, they are radically different from each other. One thing is certain: every person is free to make his own choice which God he will worship.

Names and titles of prophets

Few of us know that in the Bible Jesus Christ is given 200 different titles and names. The most famous of them are Jesus of Nazareth, Yeshua (Bulgakov’s novel “The Master and Margarita” played an important role in this), Joshua and a number of others. For example, Jesus Christ is better known to Islamic believers under the name Isa. Moreover, in the 17th century, a split occurred in the Orthodox Church over how to correctly write the name of Christ in Russian - Jesus or Isus.

Also, few people know all the names of the Prophet Muhammad, because it includes the entire genealogy of the most revered person from the creation of the world. The full name of the great prophet exceeds half a thousand letters. The most widely used names of the Prophet Muhammad are Muhammad, Muhammadul-Amin, Ahmad, Al-Khashir, Ash-Shahid, Rahim, Mustafa, Nazir and a number of others.

The main relics of believers

Each religious movement has its own characteristics and relics that believers worship. The main relic of Christians is the Shroud of Turin, in which the body of Jesus Christ was wrapped after death.

Buddhists venerate holy places related to Buddha and his relics - a tooth, a lock of hair and bones.

Muslim relics have become in demand relatively recently, since in the traditions of Islam it is customary to bury the deceased along with his belongings.

However, many religious relics have rather controversial origins. Sometimes believers sincerely worship skillful fakes passed off as holy relics and things that supposedly belonged to holy saints.

Shrines of Islam. Hair from the head of the prophet Muhammad

The most revered shrine of all Muslims is the hair of the Prophet Muhammad. Fraudsters did not fail to take advantage of this fact. Disregarding all ethical issues and taking advantage of people’s gullibility, under the guise of a shrine, they distribute the hair of an ordinary person among believers, passing it off as a genuine relic.

Clearly aware of the fact that there cannot be enough hair on a person’s head for everyone to be able to purchase it, scammers, in their justification, came up with a legend that the hair of the Prophet Muhammad could multiply on its own. Let's leave this deception on their conscience. Moreover, there are still enough people willing to purchase the relic, and the demand for it, as they say, exceeds supply.

Genuine shrines are carefully guarded and are not always accessible to believers. They are brought out for public display on especially special days. This is often presented as the performance of special rituals. Thus, Muslims have a beautiful custom of washing an authentic lock of the hair of the Prophet Muhammad. To ensure that not a single precious hair is lost from the prophet’s head, ablution is performed in silver baths located at several levels relative to each other. After the ablution procedure, use a magnifying glass to check whether all the hair remains in place.

It is believed that the water in which the hair of the Prophet Muhammad was washed acquires healing qualities, so every believer in Allah dreams of having it. Fortunately, at the end of the ritual, the water is simply distributed to everyone.

Sacred hair from Muhammad's beard

Another relic is also sacred to Muslims - a hair from the beard of the prophet. Muslim believers believe that there are only 3 examples of authentic beard hair exhibits. The first is housed in the second, stored in the Hazratbal mosque, located in the Indian city of Srinagar, the third - in the Museum of regional significance, owned by the Tyumen City Duma. So, if desired, any resident of the Eurasian continent can perform a miracle.

Every educated person must respect the religious feelings of other peoples, because we are all residents of one planet Earth and in the end, albeit by different roads, we will come to the same home of our Creator God for all.

History decreed that for most of its stay on Siberian soil, the exhibit called “The Hair of the Prophet Muhammad” was located under the vaults of churches.

First, after its removal from the mosque in the village of Embayevo in the 20s of the last century, the hair was placed in the Museum of Atheism, organized at the Annunciation Cathedral. In 1932, security officers blew up the temple, which, due to the collapse of the banks of the Tura, was in danger of collapsing into the river. This is how the hair in a glass flask ended up in the building of the Church of the Savior, where part of the funds of the regional museum is housed.

The attitude of Tyumen Muslims to the “Hair of the Prophet Muhammad” exhibit is different. Some doubt that it belongs to the Messenger (peace be upon him) and generally consider excessive attention to it unjustified, others venerate the relic in accordance with the doctrine of tabaruk (attaining the blessing of the Almighty).

For example, representatives of the Mukhtasibat of the Central Spiritual Administration of Muslims often include in their program of events an item on visiting the museum where the relic is kept. In such cases, the museum management, meeting the organizers of the event halfway, removes the glass flask in a green velvet box from the storage room in the Spasskaya Church and, under reliable police protection, delivers it to one of the operating museum halls.

By the way, many people, on the day of the visit of the head of the Central Spiritual Spiritual Association Talgat Tadzhutdin to the museum three years ago, which was shown by all local TV channels, learned for the first time about the existence of such an exhibit in Tyumen, since before the appearance of the regional branch of the Central Spiritual Spiritual Directorate in the city several years ago, this was not so publicly known not stated. Muslims also did not show much interest in the exhibit.

“This is due to the peculiarities of Islamic faith,” says Marina Volkhina, a senior researcher at the local history museum. “Suppose, if we had a Christian shrine of this level in the museum, the interest in it from believers would be incomparably high.”

A gray hair three centimeters long is contained inside a glass flask (reliquary) set in silver. The flask is stored in a green velvet case with a silk lining on the inside.

According to Marina Volkhina, it is known from museum documentation that during the transfer of the exhibit from the Museum of Atheism to the local history museum, the green case with the flask was wrapped in 37 green silk handkerchiefs and stored in a box, which, in turn, was wrapped in a black handkerchief with a white embroidery, perhaps it was a saying from the Koran.

Time has preserved neither the fabric nor the box. There is also no documentary evidence that the box with hair was brought specifically from the Embayevo mosque. But museum workers are convinced of this, as it was verbally reported from one generation of curators to another.

The name of the owner of the box was also mentioned - the merchant-philanthropist Nigmatulla-Hadji Karmyshakov-Seidukov from Yurt Embaevsky, Bukhara volost, Tyumen district, who built and completely maintained at his own expense the "Embayev Mohammedan School". According to local historians, the box ended up in the museum of atheism in the early 1920s during the campaign to “confiscate church valuables” along with books from the library of the Yembaevsky madrasah.

The same version is confirmed by the head of the Embaevsky Museum of Tatar Culture, Venera Biktimirova. According to her, twenty years ago there were old people still alive who remembered the hair of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in the local mosque, brought by Nigmatullah Haji from a trip to the Middle East.

Here it is appropriate to say a few words about the personality of Nigmatulla Karmyshakov. How influential he was can be judged by the memoirs of another famous Siberian, Abdurashit Ibragimov, who in his book “Tarzhimai Halem” tells how in the late 90s of the 19th century, during the Hajj, people from different countries welcomed a Siberian Bukharan to Mecca.

- “Nigmatulla-haji! Nigmatulla-haji!” - the people made a noise when he appeared.

The head of the Embaevsky Museum traced the genealogy of the philanthropist and discovered that the ancestors of the Karmyshakov-Seidukovs were at one time dignitaries in the Bukhara Emirate and emigrated to Siberia due to the political situation that developed in Bukhara after a failed palace coup.

Nigmatulla's father, Karmyshak, made a fortune in trading. An enterprising Bukharan bought cattle, wool, and hides in the Kazakh steppes and transported the goods to the Irbit fair. He carried iron, hardware, textiles, and haberdashery to the south.

The “trading house” of the Karmyshchakov-Seidukovs had stores not only in the cities of Siberia and the Urals, but also in the Uyghur Xinjiang, Alma-Ata, Semipalatinsk, Pavlodar, Zaisan, Karkaralinsk. The merchant traveled a lot, was in Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Egypt, Turkey. To this day, residents of Embaevo remember the terrible fire that destroyed almost the entire village while Nigmatulla was on the Hajj. Upon returning, the benefactor used his own funds to build houses for the fire victims.

According to Venera Biktimirova, it remains unknown how much money the philanthropist spent on the construction of almost two hundred houses in Embayevo. The merchant forbade the disclosure of the amount. It is also unknown how many mosques Karmyshakov built.

Even in the villages of the neighboring Kurgan and Sverdlovsk regions they remember him with a kind word. It was on Nigmatulla’s initiative that studies at the Yembaev madrasah were structured according to the then new Jadid method. Having built a two-story brick house for the mudaris of the educational institution, the merchant himself lived very modestly, in a one-story wooden house.

Representatives of the Tyumen mukhtasibat of the Central Spiritual Society of Muslims believe that a person like Nigmatulla Karmyshakov could not be given or sold a fake under the guise of a hair of the Prophet (peace be upon him). Undoubtedly, the merchant-philanthropist had to find out the whole story of the gray hair in the glass flask.

In addition, the fact that this is not a fake is also supported by the appearance of the flask itself, which, apparently, was specially made by craftsmen to store “difficult” hair. According to mukhtasib Ildar Ziganshin, there are only five hairs of the Prophet (peace be upon him) preserved in the world. Of these, three are in Russia: two in Ufa, the third in Tyumen. By the way, there is also such a relic in Dagestan.

As Talgat Tadzhutdin told reporters during his visit to Tyumen, two hairs stored in the Central Spiritual Directorate are a gift from the last Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, Abdul-Hamid, to the Ufa Spiritual Assembly for the loyalty of the Muslims of the Russian Empire to Islam. The head of the Central Spiritual Society of Muslims demonstrated the pouch on his chest, where he keeps the gift of the Ottoman Sultan, and noted that the hair differs in color; in the pouch it is black, while in the glass flask it is gray. Then he added that an older person can have both black and gray hair at the same time.

It is not known how the Prophet (peace be upon him) would have reacted to the fact that his hair was exhibited in museums or kept in bags at spiritual administrations. For example, he forbade making his images - everyone knows this.

But, on the other hand, it is reliably known from hadiths (for example, the collection of Bukhari) that the companions saved part of the hair of the Prophet (peace be upon him) out of love for him, to gain the blessings of Allah. For example, Khalid ibn Walid, who did not suffer a single defeat, said that through the barakat (grace) of this relic he managed to gain the mercy of the Almighty in battles with the enemies of Islam.

About six thousand people—that’s exactly how many the Crocus City Hall’s large hall could accommodate—witnessed a unique event. For the first time, a sacred relic of Muslims arrived in the Russian capital - the hair of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the greatest of the children of Adam (peace be upon him), who conveyed to us the words of the last testament and completing the era of the sending of the Prophets. Russian Muslims got the opportunity to see with their own eyes the blessed part of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

People greeted the relic standing, every now and then, rising on their toes in order to better and more carefully examine the blessed hair of their beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The relic, placed in a special capsule, was carefully brought onto the stage in a beautiful chest, so that each of those present could feel the extraordinary grace that comes from the asars of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There were so many people who wanted to touch the Muslim shrine that in order to avoid large crowds and crushes, at the request of the Moscow Government, it was decided not to display the blessed hair either in city mosques or even in the foyer of the concert hall. The next day, the exhibit, revered throughout the Muslim world, left the capital and returned to Makhachkala, where it is in the custody of the Mufti of Dagestan - Sheikh Akhmad-haji Abdulaev. Let us recall that the precious hair of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was transferred to the Dagestanis in August 2013, by its former custodian Sheikh Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Khazraj, along with a document certifying its authenticity.

The imam of the central Juma Mosque in Makhachkala, Muhammadrasul Saaduev, who accompanied the relic, thanked the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Moscow for the worthy meeting, respect and honor shown to the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and therefore to himself. The relic was delivered to Moscow on a special flight, and a large delegation of Muslims solemnly greeted it at the plane's steps. The theologian noted that Dagestan has already felt the grace of the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). During the exhibition of sacred relics in Makhachkala, Muslims forgot about disputes and were united in their desire to see what they could only dream of. Now, when the world has not yet cooled down from the scandal with cartoons of the Prophets (peace be upon them) and the footage of the brutal terrorist attack in the editorial office of the satirical French magazine Charlie Hebdo is fresh in memory, the appearance of a small part of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) in the capital of Russia will become big support for Muslims, whose hearts were filled with peace and tranquility, illuminated by a grand mawlid in honor of the birth of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Such an event is the most noble response to any kind of provocation, threats and attacks. Hundreds of thousands of people around the world watched the live broadcast of the Mawlid without stopping.

In the blessed month of Rabi-ul-Awwal, in which the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was born, Muslims in different parts of the world talk a lot about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), listen to stories about his righteous life, praise the Favorite of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and blessing) with the best verses. According to tradition, “Mawlid an-Nabi” at Crocus City Hall completes the series of festive events.

What would you call a miracle? A newly born baby? Our planet with its diverse nature? Numerous cosmic galaxies? Everyone will remember something different. But for a Muslim, the real miracle is faith. Faith in Allah and his Messengers (peace be upon them). The greatest miracle of miracles on earth is the healing blessed Quran, sent down to the best of people, the Lord of the pious, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whose life path was and remains a beautiful example for all humanity. The miracles that happened around the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) continue to occur even after 14 centuries and never cease to amaze people around the world.

Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). What are these miracles? The noble hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) grows and becomes longer from year to year. It is divided into two or three hairs. Another feature of blessed hair is that it does not cast shadows. If this is truly a blessed hair, then it will cast a shadow only because people have left traces of their touch on it. And if you take it out into the sun, a cloud immediately appears. But still, the main value and miraculous sign of these sacred relics is that there is great benefit in their storage. Blessed asars protect the house where they are, the city and even the whole country. Sheikh Mawlayni talks about this in his book.

Ildar-khazrat Alyautdinov- The mufti of Moscow, the chief imam of the Moscow Cathedral Mosque admits that the appearance of the blessed hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Moscow is a real miracle. “As for the life of the companions, in everything that was connected with the Prophet (peace and blessings of the Almighty be upon him), they saw Divine grace, and in many sets of hadiths there are many stories on this matter - how people expressed their respect for Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). This respect was also manifested in the fact that people kept his hair and did not allow the water to go into the ground after he performed ablution. They were reverent even about contact with his blessed hands or body. There are many reliable stories that his companions - the people who were next to him - saw in all this enormous Divine grace: protection from damage, illnesses, and illnesses. Therefore, for us to have the opportunity to see the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is an extremely important event, occurring for the first time, and we hope that this will serve to change ourselves, our environment and bring the Divine atmosphere into our everyday life,” said the chairman of the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Moscow .

The Mawlid al-Nabi event has been taking place in Moscow for the ninth year in a row, the doors are open to representatives of all nationalities and religions. This year, reciters of the Koran, performers of nasheeds, and talented artists took part in the grandiose event. What exactly would happen on stage remained a surprise for the audience until the very end. The concert exceeded all expectations. Guests of the holiday learned many interesting facts from the life of the Prophets (peace be upon them). Famous performers from Russia and abroad sang nasheeds about the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and the main guest on stage was a world-famous performer, one of the most popular singers in the Muslim world, Maher Zein. This is his first visit to Moscow.

At the event, the results of the first all-Russian journalist competition “Prophet of Mercy” were summed up. It was attended by journalists from federal and regional media, staff and freelance correspondents, as well as representatives of online publications and bloggers. The jury identified the best works in the following categories: print press (newspapers, magazines), radio and television, online media (including news agencies), social media resources. One of the main prizes was given to the team of the Dagestan radio “Radio Vatan”.

Every spectator who visited Mawlid al-Nabi was greatly impressed by the celebration. After the concert, many seemed not to want to leave the hall, where they could see the blessed hair of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), people were charged with divine grace and energy for the year ahead.

Probably most of all a person takes care of his hair. Holy is the Almighty, He made hair an adornment for man; hair adorns both men and women.

Description of the hair of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had black hair, not finely curly and indirect, it was curly, like waves on the sand. At times his hair reached the edge of his earlobes, at times it went down to his neck. Sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) grew them and they grew to the shoulder blades, to the upper back, which further increased the beauty of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Hadith about hair

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

« If your hair grows, treat it with respect ».

Hair should be revered with gratitude, as it is a gift from the Almighty. Therefore, we must treat them with respect, giving them their due and trying to maintain their beauty, since the Almighty has adorned us with hair.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cares about hair

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took great care of his hair. If you think you care a lot about your hair, rest assured that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) cared about his hair more than you. He always carried a comb with him. When leaving home or going on a trip, he always took a comb with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) often anointed his hair with oil. He styled his hair with a comb. He covered his head to protect his hair from dust. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not like disheveled hair covered with dust. He appreciated beauty and said:

« إن الله جميل يحبّ الجمال »

« Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty ».

Therefore, everyone who loves beauty loves what Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) love.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a mirror, which he even took on trips. Looking in the mirror, he took care of himself and his hair. When performing this wonderful act, it is advisable to recite the following dua, which was recited by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

« اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا حَسَّنْتَ خَلْقِي ، فَحَسِّنْ خُلُقِي »

« O Allah, as You have adorned my appearance, adorn my disposition too.».

Taking care of external and internal beauty, taking care of your hair, asking to decorate your appearance at the same time as your inner peace - all this is an amazing Sunnah. A person who practices the obvious and hidden sides of the Sunnah in life will feel the meaning of beauty, which is inherent in man by the Almighty.

The way of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in anointing hair with oil

Anointing your hair with oil is the sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Many people use various creams and oils, and this is very good. We should use oils. It is also necessary to know that using oil in hair care is the sunnah of our Favorite (peace and blessings be upon him). Especially the use of olive oil contains grace and following the Sunnah, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved to use this oil. He said:

« كلوا الزيت وادهنوا به فإنه من شجرة مباركة »

« Eat olive oil and anoint yourself with it; verily it is from the blessed tree »

This oil is also mentioned in the Quran.

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used oil in a very beautiful way. Every move he made was perfect. His movements were calm, full of dignity. Each of his actions, without a doubt, has its own wisdom and mystery. Wanting to anoint himself, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) poured oil from a jug into his left palm. Then, with the index finger of his right hand, he applied the oil to his right eyebrow, and then to his left. He then rubbed the area of ​​hair under his lower lip. After that, he wiped his eyelids. Then, after wiping his palms, he applied the oil to his entire face, hair, and entire body, wherever he wished. By rubbing oil in this way, we will act like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). To be like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in actions is a delight for a believer. The entire life of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a wonderful example for us.

Hair coloring

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dyed his hair when gray hair began to appear. The total number of gray hairs of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not exceed 20 hairs, but, nevertheless, he painted them over with henna.

The Companions were afraid that the desire to decorate arises from pride, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that pride is a disregard for the truth, that is, it is not a manifestation of pride - a person’s desire to look beautiful. On the contrary, it is a direct following of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Haircut

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade certain types of hair cutting, as it is contrary to the natural beauty of a person. Our religion is the religion of beauty. Our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a prophet of beauty. It is not allowed to remove part of the hair while leaving another, because this distorts the natural beauty. The Almighty created us with a full-fledged hairstyle, why does a person bring himself into an unnatural appearance for him? This is worth paying attention to.

Forgotten Sunnah

An amazing sunnah is the burial of hair, which many people do not pay attention to, perhaps due to their ignorance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) buried cut hair and nails in the ground, because this is part of a person. Burying a person after death is a sign of respect for him, and burying his parts is also respect for a person. The hadiths say that parts of a person will also be resurrected on the Day of Judgment.

May the Almighty love you

We all love beauty and want to be beautiful, we care about the beauty of our hair. Some people grow their hair long, others like short hair. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) grew his hair long and shortened it. The intention to follow him adorns you. The desire to look beautiful, wanting to be like the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fills us with the light of the beauty of the words of the Almighty:

« قل إن كنتم تحبون الله فاتبعوني يحببكم الله »

« You say (O Muhammad!): If you love Allah, then follow me, and Allah will love you ».
