YOGYAKARTA - In various cultures, thick eyebrows are often considered as symbols of beauty and strength. However, what does thick eyebrows mean according to Islam? Is there a special meaning contained in it?

This article will thoroughly explore the meaning of thick eyebrows according to Islamic teachings, as well as how the views of the ulama and hadith on this matter. Let's explore more deeply about thick eyebrows in an Islamic perspective.

Reporting from the NU ONline page, one of the physical characteristics that stands out from the Prophet Muhammad SAW, according to Professor Muhammad Quraish Shihab's explanation, is his thick and black eyebrows.

This feature, along with a wide forehead, is part of his distinctive physical picture. In fact, the vein between his eyebrows is a sign when he is not pleased with something.

Although in Islam specifically it does not explain the meaning of thick eyebrows, but quoted from the Jagran Prakashan Ltd page, people who have thick eyebrows are often interpreted as follows:

People with thick eyebrows don't care what other people think about them and live life according to their own ideals. They are thorough and firm, not allowing emotions to obscure their judgment.

Thick eyebrows are also of the forward and assertive view, not afraid of the absence of plans. However, they can become angry quickly if things don't go the way they want, and they may ignore too many emotional expressions.

People with thick eyebrows are more likely to choose careers that allow them to express their creativity such as art, acting, music, or social media bloggers (Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, etc.).

Thick analysts tend to be interested in natural and authentic things. They also have a good chance of success in business. They are firm and good at taking risks.

In addition, they are also more likely to have strong social networks. They are open and friendly to people. Although they may also find themselves in conflict with authority figures because they are not afraid to defend what they believe.

Meanwhile, Dr. Muhammad Salama Professor at the Faculty of Islamic Sciences, al-Madinah International University, explained that the Prophet had condemned the an-namiah, a woman who pulled the eyebrows of another person, and al-mutammisah, a woman whose eyebrows were pulled out.

According to the majority of scholars, it is not allowed to remove eyebrow hair either by removing or shaving, although some scholars argue that only removing what is not allowed, while shaving is not prohibited.

Thus, pulling eyebrows is clearly prohibited in Islam, even some scholars even put it into great sin. However, forming eyebrows by shaving or any other way is still being debated as mentioned above.

Therefore, if the eyebrows have a normal shape that doesn't make them look bad or cause a woman to feel embarrassed, then the woman must avoid its reshape.

However, if the thickness of his eyebrows is so abnormal that it makes him look bad or causes him to feel embarrassed, then he can remove the hair.
