Maintaining of Locks/Tresses
is the Tradition
of The Holy Prophet
I) | When in the Flower garden of (Sacred) Madina, the Hyacinth bulbous plant with bell shaped purple blue fragrant flowers in bunches on plaited knots of its branches (which look like the falls of long hair) provide an adorned/embellished look...... |
II) | The Hourie (Blue eyed exquisitely beautiful Nymph of Paradise) comes
forward to sacrifice herself as votive offering to the conceited / wrinkled
expression (coquetry) of the Hyacinth flower / plaint. (That is to say
that when only the Hyacinth Fragrant flower plant with its purple blue
fragrant flowers in bunches on the braided knots of its embellished / adorned
branches is so alluring that even a Hourie (blue eyed exquisitely beautiful
Nymph of Paradise) comes forward to sacrifice herself as votive offering
to the conceited beauty of the Hyacinth flower on the long hair-like branches
of the Hyacinth flower plant in the Sacred Hyacinth flower garden of Madina,
how sublime would be the celestially elegant beauty of the Prophet ![]() ![]() |

Hazrat Anas Our Leader, Son of Maalik says
that Madni Master/Lord, Bride-groom of the "night of Ascension"
to heavens and beyond, the Divinely chosen of all the Prophets and The

Dear Islamic Brethren! Since hair (of head) is a thing meant to be growing
in length, which ever companion of the Prophet
saw the Locks / Tresses of the Prophet
up to a certain length he narrated that length accordingly. For, Instance
:
Hazrat Anas our Leader
having seen the Locks/Tresses of the Prophet
up to half the falling length of the ears stated that the auspicious Locks/Tresses
of the Prophet
were up to half the falling length of His
ears. The companion of the Prophet
who saw the locks/Tresses of the Prophet
grown longer than half the falling length of the ear he accordingly narrated
that (particular) length (of the Locks/Tresses).
To maintain locks/tresses up to
the full ear length too is the
tradition of the Prophet
:-
Hazrat Brah our Leader,
Son of Aaz'b says, the stature (height) of the sovereign of Madina, Comforter
for the heart and the Soul
was of middling order. There was distance between both the auspicious shoulders
and His
auspicious Locks/Tresses used to caress (touch) the sacred ears.
I) | As if the Nature has provided a cover / sheath as fragrant as "Musk"
to your life/soul (O' Prophet ![]() |

(Radi-Allah-u-Ta'alaa Anhaa) say's "Me and my husband, Ascendant
to the Heavens and beyond, used to take the bath from one and the same
basin/vessel (utensil) and my Master/Lord's auspicious
Locks/Tresses on the sacred head used to be a little longer than the auspicious

as
to how were the auspicious hair / locks of the sacred Prophet
about
whom the Providence had said that had. He not to create Him (i.e. The Prophet
) He would not have created anything (i.e. the varied Universes and its
species etc. at all. He said in reply "Neither Quite twisted/coiled
nor quite erect." That is to say that the hair/locks (of the Prophet
) were somewhat
wavy, and caressed (touched) the lobe of the ears. ( TIRMIZI )

Elegantly sweet four tresses
Our She Leader Umme Hani (Radi-Allah-u-Ta'ala Anha) says when
the "Divine Favour/Compassionate Mercy for all the Universes"
Divinely Incarnate luminosity / effulgence came
to the revered "Makkah" for the purposes of non-seasonal Pilgrimage
He
took
the trouble of coming to our house as well. At that time there were four
Tresses on the most Holy Head of the Madni Lord

Muslim (believers) and the English hair cut
Dear Islamic Brethren! From the above mentioned auspicious sayings of
the Prophet it
became very well known to us that our beloved Master / Lord
always maintained the hair in complete (lawful) form over His
most
holy / sacred head; Never maintained hair in short length form (i.e. English
cut) like the present Modern Muslims. Of Course this much is proved / established
that He
when
performed off-seasonal Pilgrimage to Makkah and got the auspiciousness
of seasonal pilgrimage to Makkah at that time while taking off the pilgrim
robes (The two unstitched white sheets of cloth worn by the Pilgrim when
making a vow of Pilgrimage) He, for coming out of the vow of Pilgrimage,
had the hair of His
head got completely shaved off.
(Parting of the hair of the head
for) Drawing a line in the central position
of the head is the tradition of the Prophet
"O' those who profess devoutly profound love for the Apostle
! maintain hair as per "Madni" style instead of "English"
style (fashion). That is to say that for the sake of love for the beloved
Madni Lord
adorn
/ embellish your head by Locks/Tresses; And also remember that Our beloved
Master / Lord
used
to draw a line of the hair of the auspicious head (by separating the hair)
in the central position of the head. As stated in "Bahar-e-Shariat"
(a comprehensive book in two big volumes dwelling at length on the Islamic
creed / faith of "Sunnis" and the day to day "issues"
likely to be asked by the believers / faithfuls and the answers as per
Divine / Islamic Law as contained in the Holy Quran and the Traditional
"Sayings" of the Prophet
Some people make / draw a line in the head (by separating the hair of the
head) towards the right or the left side of (their) head; This is against
the Tradition of the Prophet .
The tradition of the Prophet
being
that if there is hair on the head a (vertical) line of the hair of the
head be drawn (by separating the hair) in the very central position of
the head. Some people don't draw a line of the hair of the head. Rather
! keep the hair in upright / erect position. This too is an abrogated (annulled)
Tradition of the Prophet
and
as mentioned in the traditional sayings of the (Holy) Prophet
is
the method / rite of The Jews and The Christians.
"O' our dear Allah liberating
we all Muslims from English thought trend/considerations that induce (us)
to maintain / keep English style hair cut, have Madni thought trend/considerations
accorded to us in maintaining Locks / Tresses (over our heads) as per the
most dear and the most sweet traditions of the Prophet
of
whom you (i.e. Allah
)
had said that had you not decided to bring Him into being, you would not
have created (at all) all the Universes (with its creations).

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish) |
(In this Hexagon Encomium in honour of the Prophet His
highness As-Shah Ahmad Raza Khan
has
compared the trickling drops of oil dipping from the sacred Locks/Tresses
of the Prophet
to
the (morning stars) that tend to disappear at early "Dawn" (in
the light of the sun yet to rise); And says that when the Locks/Tresses
of the Prophet
swinging around touch the sublime cheeks of the Prophet
these
Locks/Tresses similed (identified) to be the parting darkness of night
/ early "Dawn" offer the parting/disappearing stars, as propitiatory
offering to the illustrious cheeks of the Prophet
