Original kohl, Arabic eye kohl.
Original kohl comes in black and red, and we make mixed kohl from it.
The most famous and requested original Isfahani kohl.
Original kohl comes in a stone and is ground and smoothed for easy use.
Benefits of kohl:
It improves eyesight, especially for the elderly. Continuing to do so strengthens and protects the eyes.
- The excess flesh in the sores goes away and heals them.
- It helps protect it from bacteria and infections.
- It stimulates hair growth, meaning it helps the eyelids grow hair and makes it more beautiful.
- Treats alopecia (bald spot on the head).
Kohl: The Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of God be upon him) encouraged its use, as he (peace and blessings of God be upon him) said: “The best of your kohls is kohl , for it clears the vision and makes the hair grow .” Narrated by Al-Nasa’i and others, and authenticated by Al-Albani.
From the words of Sheikh Ibn Baz, may God have mercy on him, about kohl:
Question: Is applying eyeliner a Sunnah? Or what?
Answer:
Yes, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to apply kohl. Kohl is a Sunnah. Yes, and it is better to use kohl. Yes.
Presenter: May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, some doctors these days say that this kohl - even if it is made from antimony - is harmful to the eyes, as if they are ignoring what was reported from the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, regarding kohl. What is your advice to our brothers who specialize in ophthalmology, regarding kohl, may God bless you?
Sheikh: The one who said this is wrong, even if he was a doctor. Kohl does not harm if it is made of pure, clean kohl. The Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “Use kohl, for it clears the vision and makes hair grow .” It is good, increases the intensity and strength of vision, and also makes hair grow. So the one who says that it harms the vision, his statement is weak and rejected. The correct statement is that it makes hair grow and clears the vision. It is beneficial, the well-known kohl.
As for other types that may cause harm, which doctors know about, that is another matter. As for the well-known antimony, it makes hair grow and clears the eyesight, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said. Yes.
