Islam stands for the protection of women and it scorns artificial means of beautifying oneself. Allaah cursed the women who did tattoos and plucked their brows and the ones who did it for them because it would bring about unhealthy body shaming and unwanted exposure. But weightage is given to husband‟s wish regarding the matter. Islam stresses on health and the beautification of the soul. Thus it stands to conclude that women should not pluck their brows. They can brush it with a small comb and keep it in place and perhaps trim the longer stubborn ones. Islam is a religion which dictates healthy way of living also. *Haraam means and includes anything that is prohibited in the Quran that would be considered sin if done/ followed by a Muslim). * Niqab- A veil worn by Muslim women which covers most of their face, except their eyes. *Hadith- It is the record of the words, actions and silent approval of Prophet Muhammed and considered a source of religious law and moral guidance second only to the Holy Quran, according to the Wikipedia.
