Men should take more pride in looking handsome

[Mek Nimr al-Ja'ali]

How is it that much of the Horner community nowadays sees a man taking pride and care for their appearance as being lesser or effeminate for doing so? The popularity of buzzcuts, prevalence of men who seem to have a phobia of shaving yet are unable to grow any sort of respectable looking facial hair and the complete abandonment of kohl. People will spend thousands of dollars and fly to foreign countries to preserve their hair yet a significant portion of young idiots in the west will shave it down to nothing or even worse grow it out and refuse to take care of it. You automatically age yourself by ten years doing this and for nothing. The worst abomination though is the beards. It's really not that hard to figure out what style of beard looks good on you and if you have enough coverage on your face to grow one out yet every week I am amazed by people who either don't look in the mirror or don't care walking out looking like clowns. Shaving is not hard. The holy Quran itself exalts the beauty of many of the prophets as one of their greatest attributes yet modern men seem to think that it is womanly to care. Would you call Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam himself womanly for his long hair, for wearing kohl, for even braiding his hair and putting great care into his appearance? Remember yourselves.

 

[Yaraye]

men who don't take care of themselves are disgusting. I usually assume that they don't wash their ass properly either

 

[notinuse.]

The nazis took care of their physical appearance and they had the rest of the world's men as their litte pet dogs. Being manly or seen as masculine doesn't necessarily mean you should look like a dead rotten rat.

[Baarisiyomoos]

A lot of men need to start with the basics. I’ve seen men with long nails, dirty socks and pubic hair beards

Start with your hygiene first and then you can work on beautifying yourself

for wearing kohl

Kohl was not for beautification but because it is good for your eye health. also helps protection agaisnt sun rays

 

[jemappelle]

for even braiding his hair and putting great care into his appearance?

actually he braided his hair because he didn't have time to take care of it because he was too busy leading armies

Yes, you should do research on kohl, both men and women wore it in ancient times as it has natural remedial effects, it protects the eyes from exposure to the sun as too much exposure of sun can damage the eyes, it also has medicinal effects.

Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the best of the kohl that you use is antimony, for it brightens the eyes and grows the hair.”

Source: Sunan al-Nasā’ī 5113

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

A special Kohl
Ithmid (antimony) Kohl is special because unlike other types of Kohl it carries enormous health benefits for the eyes. As an added bonus, Ithmid (antimony) Kohl also beautifies the eyes in a unique and different way.
Ithmid (antimony) kohl has been used for over 15 centuries to enhance eyesight and maintain overall eye health. Even before the dawn of Islam and at the time of Jahilyah, Ithmid (antimony) kohl was famous for its unique benefits.
Other types of kohl (stuff applied to eyes and its hairs) only carry beauty benefits and ,contrary to promoting health as Ithmid (antimony) kohl does, often contain harmful substances.
The only kohl approved by the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم
What makes Ithmid (antimony) kohl truly special is that it is the only type of kohl the prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم has praised and affirmed its benefits.
Ibn Al-Abbas (رضي الله عنهما ) narrated that the prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم said : “The best of your kohl is ithmid (antimony), for it makes the vision clear and makes the hair grow.”
Not only did the prophet ( صلي الله عليه وسلم ) praised Ithmid kohl but he also commanded it to be used.
Ibn Al-Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) narrated that the prophet ( صلي الله عليه وسلم ) said : “Apply ithmid (antimony) to your eyes, for it makes the vision clear and makes the hair grow”
This hadeeth, classed saheeh by Al-Albaani, reflects the importance and specialness of Ithmid (antimony) kohl as the prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم ) would not have felt the need to order it to be used unless if it was of such a high significance and benefit.
Because of the incredible benefits of Ithmid (antimony) kohl, the prophet صلي الله عليه وسلم himself used to apply Ithmid kohl to his eyes when going to sleep, to maintain his eye health and set an example for us to follow.
Aisha رضي الله عنهما)ا) has reported that the prophet ( صلي الله عليه وسلم ) “used to have an Ithmid (antimony) from which he used to apply kohl three times in his eyes when going to sleep”
Ibn Al-Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) also said: “The Prophet ( صلي الله عليه وسلم ) used to have a Kohl container and used to apply Kohl 3 times in each eye”
This article has hopefully made you aware about this little known sunnah and realise the significance of Ithmid (antimony) kohl in Islam.

[Hmohamed54]

It doesn’t taje much for a man to groom himself properly. I spend maybe 100$ a month for everything.

Unless they can't afford a razor it's completely within their control.

 

[Garaad diinle]

actually he braided his hair because he didn't have time to take care of it because he was too busy leading armies

I know of only one example where it says that the rasul ﷺ braiding his hair and that was in fatah mecca but it's disputed do you know of any other example?

 

[AbrahamFreedom]

People who dont groom themselves every two weeks at a minimum may have schizophrenia or other mental health problems. Being unclean is one of the warning signs.

Braids and long hair in general were very common among Arabs prior to the first World War.

Yes i know and there are examples in the sira but i don't know of any concert evidence that the rasul ﷺ braided his hair.

If your beard is patchy just shave it
