Have you ever wondered why so many people who were bright and beautiful as children, however, as they grew older their innocence and beauty eluded them? Well, wonder no more – Shaykhul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) explains to us:

“The person who is righteous and honest, his honesty is manifest from the radiance on his face, and his honesty can be known from the glow that is on his face, likewise the (opposite for the) sinful one and the liar. The older a person gets, the more this sign becomes apparent. Thus a person as a child would have a bright face, however if he becomes a sinful person, adamant on committing sins, at the older stages in his life, an ugly face would manifest that which he used to internalise, and the opposite is also true. It has been narrated that Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) said, ‘Indeed righteousness illuminates the heart, radiates the face, strengthens the body, increases provision, and produces a love in the hearts of the creation for that person. Whereas sinfulness darkens the heart, greys the face, weakens the body, and produces hatred in the hearts of the creation for that person.’ It is possible that a person may not intentionally lie; he may even be a person who makes great effort in ibaadah and has zuhd (abstains from pleasures of this life that are lawful). However he has false, incorrect ‘aqeedah regarding either Allaah, His deen or His Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) or His righteous servants. And what is on the inside affects what is on the outside. Thus, this false, incorrect ‘aqeedah that he thought was true and correct reflects on his face, and his face would be dark in accordance with the level of falsehood he possesses. As it has been narrated that ‘Uthmaan ibn Affaan (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) said, ‘No one ever hides evil within themselves except that Allaah makes it manifest from his facial outlook and the statements his tongues utters.’ Hence some of the salaf used to say, ‘If a person of innovation were to dye his beard every day, the dye of innovation would remain on his face.’ On the day of judgment this would be very clear as Allaah says,

“And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allaah their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?” [Sooratuz-Zumar, 39:60]

He ta’ala also said, “On the Day when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become dark (to them will be said): "Did you reject Faith after accepting it? Then taste the torment for rejecting Faith.” [Soorah Aali-Imraan, 3:106]

Ibn Abbaas and others have said regarding this verse, ‘The bright faces will be ahlus-sunnah, and dark faces will be the people of bid’ah and division.’”

‘Aj-jawaab as-saheeh’ (Vol.4, pg. 306-307)

So all Somalis are bound to get ugly as they get older since they are all pathological liars?

No wonder the faces of the WADAADO shine more than the avarage person.

I am a living proof. As a child i was the ugliest in our high concetrated beauty family. As an adult i became a runaway model. As to the sinful manifesting in ugly face on sinners, that is soooo true. Look at somali alcoholics. Their faces and lips radiates alcohol. I am always told my face radiate innosense of a child. That is not because i am not a sinner, for i am a human lol...but its because i am naturally gullable. Dumb is a strong word, for i know i am intellectual.

so your telling us people who have DARK skinn and dark faces are natural born evils and people who gott white skinn are righteous and honest engels and they will straigthe going to janna. waryaa let me tell you this racist interpretation of islam is from WAHAABIS. Ibn Taymiyyah one who are claiming that people who have blacks faces are generaly bad people, waryaa thats pure racisim and this arab WARLORD WAHABI IDIOT Ibn Taymiyyah lied about the real teaching of islam which says white face person is not better than black faces person, therefore how he can say that black faced people are evil hearted people.

this is wahabi tranzlation of quran and its tottaly wrong, let me tell about white face and black face, forexample swedish people are the whites people in this planet and they are 98% ethiest, they do not believe GOD, allah and SENEGELIS african people are the one of the Darkest blackest people in this planet and senegelis are 99% MUSLIM sunna and they believe Allah whit in all their heart. so your telling us SWEDISH white faced people are closer to god than SEGENELIS MUSLIM BLACK PEOPLE.

WHITE FACE IS NOT BETTER THAN BLACK FACE. I BELIAVE THOSE WHO ARE GOING TO ALJAHANAMA NAARTA ARE PEOPLE WHO GOT WHITE FACES and those who are going to JANNA are people whit BLACK faces like me soomaali and senegelis and sudanes gambians. and FOOLXUMADA lama mid aha waji madoow. swedish aduunka ugu cad cad ugu sanka dhaadheer 98% ilaah ma aaminsana marka IBNU THAIMIYAH SHEEYDAANKAAS wahaabiga ahaa markuu oranayo qofka wajiga madoow qalbigiisa waa XUN yahay qofka wajiga nuuraya(cad) sida swedhishka waa qof qalbi fiican. bal xayawaanimadiisa tuugaaas wahaabiga ah yaa u sheegay qalbiga qofka waxa ku jira idiotka.
Ibn Abbaas and others have said regarding this verse, ‘The bright faces will be ahlus-sunnah, and dark faces will be the people of bid’ah and division.’”

I am not sure you're helping yourself there. The white girls are smiling and the black guys are burrying someone! (guess who a passerby would think are evil).

Other than that (and the whaabi rant) I am in full agreement with you. This thread has good intentions but, just like Dr Y, the execution (haha) is all wrong.

Dr Y... When I read it ...I too couldnt help but believe that was extremely Racist.


I think their interpretation might be incorrect. If they mean that a person will Radiate/nuur with iftiin and a sinful person will look DULL... then yeah... but to say look DARK = evil .... whereas white faced people will go heaven.. well Thats just plain racism


In regards to the notion that a person looks more beautiful when their pious and religious... I guess its plausable. The reason I say that is because I see many religious young men and women with incredible skin... one might ask whether thats a coincidence

Its not just that, I also noticed when a person SMILES ... even when they engage in face to face conversation with you... they look at least 60% more beautiful.

i agree whit u senegelis picture was not much help but sxb blacks in this picture they are slaughtering not a human but a cheap for al iidul udxaa but waxay aheeyd inaan soo sawiro black smiling people anyway wahaabis beliave people who are going to janna their faces are WHITE and those ahlu naaar are black faced people.

thats wrong and tottaly racisim wajiga cad is nt better than black one.

ERMMM I WENT THROUGH THIS UGLY STAGE WEN I WAS A BABY

There is finally an explanation for my natural glow...alxamdulilah.

dr-dameer ibn zulu, kindly go and bark somewhere else, you hateful black supremacist dog.

1. fear allah swt and stop speculating/distorting/and making ijtihad upon a clear ayat that deals with matters that are part of the unseen. and allah's refuge is sought. it isn't a racist ayat. a person with a black face can have have a bright and radiating face while a white person can have a dark face and vice verse.

2. how dare you slander shaykh-ul-islam (ra) like that O you ignoramus? have you know shame O you dameer? if only you kept had your mouth shut instead of exposing your ignorance O you jahl! shaykh-ul-islam isn't arab, dumbass! he's kurdish, just like the great mujahid hero salahuddeen (ra). and he's not wahabi because a) there isn't such a thing, school/ideology, as "wahabi" and b) he was well dead by the time imam ibn abdul wahhab (ra) started his dawah to revive the authentic and pristine islam just as it was practiced by the prophet saw, the salaf, the four imams and shaykhul-islam and his students.

waryaa mr wahaab virus daacuun aidis-star, i know that ibnu sheeydaan thaymin was one of founders of your satan bloody cult which you and other bloody wahabis call salafi. salafisim has nothing whit islam, salafi is satanic cult.

ibnu xaaraam thaymin its one of THE BIGGEST AZNAM idols which believers of this death satanic cult(salafisim) worship.
the salafi cult fellow ibny thaymin before the quran and sunnah.

salafi shayaadiin use ibnu thaymin like he was prophet. every time wahaabis want to justify their satanic MURDERS deeds like child killing. slaughter innocent civilians, and their suicide bombing and all other satanic non islamic actions which salafis wahaabis commit every day in the islamic world their main source is from books of sheekhul sheeydaan ibnu thaymin,

actually ibnu taymin was midel estern warlord who justefied his
war agains muslim goverment of tataar(mongols) he was against them becouse tataars were other race than midelestern, therefore those today like al shayaadiin al shabaab and other believers of this death cult salafisim. sheeydaan ibnu thaymin warlord and the other sheeydaan maxamed abdulwahaabb jahanama allaha ka waraabshee. dajaalkii weeynaaa.islaamka ku been abuurtey ayey ahaayeen.

nacaladan somali aidist daacuun star and other branwashed wahaabis waxay caabudaaan asnaamta sheeydaan maxamed abduwahaab and ibnu thamin waxayna aaminsan yihiin diin ahaan aheeyn islaam, diin magaceeda la yiraah SALAFSIM WAANA DEATH CULT. caruurta ayey cunaaan nacalada
