I hope all of you are well in shaa Allah :D

How can a person become masculine and what are the traits and signs of someone masculinity.

JazakaAllahu khair, any answers appreciated :D

If you want to add any more advice/extra points do so in shaa Allah

Edit: This is about character you can add physical if you want.

If you visit your local gym you can ask the gym instructor which exercise is the best - you have to do a lot of weight training - start with the low weights and then build it up - After your body gets used to the training you should also change the training and weights. Usually what the brothers do at work is eat loads of protein, loads of weight training, less cardio and they have supplement drinks or protein based drinks.

I don’t think it’s healthy tbh & it also depends on whether you’re looking for a short-term look or long term. If it’s long term I would definitely not recommend protein shakes or supplement drinks – I think if you want a masculine body you have to be committed in maintaining this look for the rest of your life i.e. visiting the gym for the rest of your life, unless you can do the training in your daily activities or home.

If you type how to get muscles on youtube - you'll find a few videos for beginners..

In terms of character - i have no idea what you view as masculine - some people would identify masculinity with raising a family, some would identify masculinity as voicing an opinion against the majority, some would define masculinity as belonging to a 'gang' etc.

I think it depends on the situation and what it is your trying to achieve. I don't think you should worry too much about your image as long as you look after your body - eat the right food & stay active.

If you’re looking for an Islamic role model I would advise you to look at the life of Umar Ibn Al-Khattab who was very strong, courageous and had no fear. Am sure I read a hadith (Allah swa knows best) that even the shaytaan crossed the road for Umar PBUH due to the status that Umar PBUH had.

Have a look at this link to read more http://www.kalamullah.com/umar-ibn-alkhattab.html

Jazahka Allah
 
Walecum As Salaam,the characteristic of masculinity is to control your anger, because people who are most violent actually are neither male or female, they want to project themselves as strong, they want to seek attention, they want you to believe that they are powerful but aactually they are tiny even then an atom,so when you control anger people initially recognise u as timid but after some time they will respect you,in movie rocky 6, there is a dialouge-take the hit and move forward,that's how winning is done.Allah in ch 41 v 34 of Quran says no doubt bad deed can't equal good deed, always repel bad deedwith good deed and then you will see your enemy had become your best friend.
 
Also following from your comments brother, there is a powerful quote that i read at work;

Shouting is a weak man's (woman's) imitation of strength

The brutal truth is that you cannot teach someone (most times) how to be masculine. It's a trait that some men possess while others don't. I've never met a feminine Muslim man, so maybe you just assume you aren't masculine, yet you really are? And if you're talking about being big and strong then you'll need to eat healthy (your diet is 70% of it) and 30% is working out. Good luck to you. :peace:

Facial hair, rock climbing, sky diving, or dune buggying.

These generalizations come to mind when I associate "masculinity".

How do you envision/picture "masculinity"?
 
To be at peace with himself. By this he is fairly knowledgeable hence can be firm in his decision. His decision must be fair. Must therefore have the guts to stand up for the rights and not let fear get in the way.

Being masculine dies not mean the person is devoid of emotions. He is allowed to cry but is able to 'act' and not become too affected and totally useless. So he should be able to reassure people and become like a pillar of support.

Usually, the masculinity shines through the persona of the 'quiet confidence' guy who is self assured (different from arrogance).

Not going to mention physical aspects as everyone is different here. But emotionally, we can develop.

Still I find my remarks very general.

By getting married. It will help control hormones. People normally don't have a problem with thier masculinity so you shouldn't be worried about this otherwise you'll be preoccupied with it and that will not be good for your mental health. If there a particular aspect that is bothering you, then you can ask about that. What is masculinity? Define it. Where are you lacking? That is, which qualities of masculinity do you think you don't have?

Too young to do that.

Then why are you worried about this? What makes you think you aren't masculine or won't develop all right. This is a natural process.

I think you misunderstood me. this thread was made asking about masculine characters.

And I said that i'm too young to get married (even though I want to get married...)

What do you guys think is then a masculine physique?
 
Do you mean "Being a man"? Taking responsibility, leading the family, showing good example and working to provide for family.
 
I think its a matter of age as become more masculine. Maybe some other word would be better to describe this state of mind? This word "masculine" leads many of us thinking some physical appearance only.
