Nail Art for Muslim Women
Coloring nails with a lacquer is not a muslim tradition. So does polishing them.
Moreover, the lacquer prevent the nails to be cleansed by ablution.
Instead of coloring, nail extensions are also prohibited in Islam because it was to change Allah’s creation.
Unfortunately, nail polish causes more than admiring glances. Regular commercial polish is full of dangerous chemicals that pose serious health threats to humans.
TOLUENE
Toluene is used as a solvent in nail polish, meaning that it dissolves other chemicals to create a solution. It's a dangerous chemical that causes birth defects in animals, affects the central nervous system and is fatal if swallowed.
FORMALDEHYDE
Formaldehyde is another solvent with a hefty health risk attached: It's a known carcinogen, which means that it causes cancer, no question. The fumes of formaldehyde are irritating to mucus membranes in the eyes, nose and throat.
ETHYL ACETATE
Ethyl acetate evaporates from the nail, which causes the polish to dry and harden. This means that you're breathing in the fumes from the chemical as your manicure sets. This solvent can pass through the skin, and prolonged exposure to the fumes can lead to lung, heart, kidney, and liver damage.
Butyl acetate is also a solvent used in nail polishes; it's toxic, and causes irritation to eyes, skin and lungs.
BUTYL ACETATE
DIBUTYL PHTHALATE
Phthalates are easily absorbed chemicals that keep nail polish chip-free. The European Union has banned them, but they're legal in the United States. They're linked to early puberty in girls, low sperm count in men, sexual deformities and problems with fetal development.
Dibutyl phthalate is often replaced with phthalic anhydride, which isn't much better. This chemical is also a major health concern. It may be toxic to human immune and respiratory systems, and can cause cancer, organ damage, and membrane irritation.
PHTHALIC ANHYDRIDE
However, for a married Muslim woman, henna is allowed to be used to throne themselves as a wife.
Plus, henna has its own advantages in which it can strengthen our nails. The henna does not coat the nails but it was absorbed as it was left by several hours during the procedure of using it. Therefore our ablutions are said to be perfect even if a woman wears henna, unlike the nail lacquer.
Also we are not allowed to keep our nails grow long. Immediately cut off the nails when it has grown long.
Islam has given a period of 40 days to keep their nails long. If it was more than 40 days, then we must cut it.

Kisah Cinta Rasulullah & Siti Aisyah: act 1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Suatu hari, ada sahabat Rasulullah yang pandai masak telah memasak makanan yang enak-enak lalu dia ke rumah Rasulullah untuk meminta Baginda merasa makanan tu..
Lalu Rasulullah bertanya kepadanya "ini bagaimana?" sambil mengisyaratkan Aisyah di sisinya. Maka sahabat pun jawab "tidak".
Rasulullah pun jawab "saya pun tidak mahu".
Sahabat tu pun balik. Tapi, dia datang semula ke rumah baginda. Walaubagaimanapun, dia ajak lagi...
Rasulullah tanya lagi kepadanya. "ini bagaimana?" masih lagi mengisyaratkan pada Aisyah. Sahabat itu masih dengan jawapan yang sama.
Dan Rasulullah terus menjawab, memberi jawapan yang sama juga; "saya pun tidak mahu".
Sudah 3 kali sahabat tu ulang alik, tetapi Rasulullah masih menolak sebab Aisyah tak diajak sekali.

All About Dogs
Why dogs are prohibit in Islam? All of us know that Muslims are not allowed to touch dogs. But maybe most of us didn't know the reasons.
Actually, Muslims can touch dogs... with only one thing in which the person and the dog cannot be in a wet condition during contact.
Similar to pig, dog are categorised as 'mughalazah' waste.
According to the Medical Dictionary of Laros Medical, among of the harmful disease comes from the worms and viruses found in dog intestines. The disease can be transferred to humans through the contact with dogs' food bowl, because the dog's nose, mouth and the surrounding areas act as a place to carry the viruses. The viruses then seep into human skin which result in skin diseases & rabies. The worst thing of all, it can be fatal! In India, approximately 15 million people died due to the diseases that came from dogs.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
However, dogs can be kept for certain purpose. It can be pet for hunting, guarding livestock or even protecting crops. Blind Muslims can even pet dogs to help them in their daily lives as blind people are dependent.
This hadith narrated by Muslim (1574): “Whoever keeps a dog, except a dog for hunting or herding livestock, his reward will be decreased by two qeeraats every day.”
Conclusion: Islam prohibits dog because they can cause severe diseases to humans. However certain conditions has allowed Muslims to pet dogs.

Water Have Feelings Too!
On my previous entry I've posted about the reasons why we can't breathe or blow on our drinking water.
Today's entry are still about water, but much more interesting. I've learn that the word 'Bismillah' can affect the water molecules. That'll give a good result to the drinker, or in other words; healthier.
Therefore, if we drink that water, our body will look as if it was glowing or 'nur' that it looks like on the face a.k.a Radiant Aura.
When water is exposed to the sounds of the pleasant words, It will form a beautiful, uniform pattern without breaking any of the bonds between it.
Experiments conducted by the Western scientists shown that water molecules that was exposed to Rock or Pop music, gives the shape of irregular molecules and the bonds were broken.
Japanese scientists who have studied water behaviour said that studies done on bottled water that is written with the cruel words such as "I want to kill you" will display the image in the form of a knife to stab his victim. Therefore, logically, bad water molecules resulting in a bad effect on the drinker.
Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist wrote in his well-known book titled "The True Power Of Water" stated that the water can "hear" the words, "read" text, and "understand" and "record" speech, such as magnetic tape or disk compact. The stronger the concentration of speakers, the more clearly the order printed in the water.
Islamic prayers was recited in front of a water, the result is a hexagonal crystals with the five branches of leaves appear shiny.
When Mozart was played, flower-shaped crystals appeared on the water.
However when it comes to heavy metal, the crystal was completely destroyed.
Then, the song "Imagine" from John Lennon was played on the water.Just like the song, unique and beautiful crystals appeared.
Next the word "angel" was uttered. The results is a chain with a beautiful hexagonal crystals
And when the word "devil" was uttered, a bad shaped crystals with a fireball-like shape in the middle was structured.
Subhanallah........what else can I say??

Why Can't We Blow on Hot Drinks?
What would you do if you had a cup of hot chocolate that is really, reaally tempting but way too hot that you couldn't even get to sip it? blow it perhaps...!
Rasulullah S.A.W prohibits his followers to breathe in a cup filled with water or to blow hot drinks
However, these are the things that we often practice without even notice it
Technically, water itself, is composed of H2O, a molecule that build up water by the hydrogen bonding between oxygen atom & hydrogen atom. While the breath that we exhaled is composed of CO2.
When we breathe or blow directly to the water,
H2O + CO2 --->H2CO3
The water molecule will then combine with carbon dioxide, forming an acid called carbonic acid. We all know acid is harmful to us. Even the hydrolytic enzymes in our tummy can sometimes hurt us... The good news is carbonic acid is a weak acid, therefore it is very weak. The bad news is..
- carbonic acid melts the earth
- carbonic acid poisons the oceans
