Ever heard of Michael Jackson? He did SOMETHING to make himself lighter - and also to look like an alien invader with a penchant for children.

Love the colour you were given. Love and appreciate your skin colour.

Who says dark skinned people cannot be beautiful? I know many people with dark skin who are equally beautiful as the fair skinned...SubhanAllah.

Allah has made us all unique and special...is gives us a chance to appreciate the differences in people...

Greetings,

It's a pity you don't feel happy the way you are. You really shouldn't feel ashamed of the colour of your skin. Well, maybe if you were bright blue with yellow spots, you'd be right to ask a cosmetics adviser a few questions, but I don't think you've got anything to worry about. :thumbs_up

Fair enough sis....erm ignore the pun *grins*

But if I was you...I'd be happy with the way in which Allah had made me...

Whats that Aayah...goes something like, 'therefore remember me, I will remember you, pay me thanks and do not deny me' I dont have the proper reference or translation...

you know many people mistake "fair" for "healthy" skin.

Is your skin dry? maybe blemished or something?

trust me, skin color makes no difference at all, now skin care does. If you moisture your skin productively, then inshaAllaah the beautiful features Allaah has given you will stand out. Just take
care of the skin Allaahs given you, no need to modify it inshaAllaah.


So my advice, its not skin color that matters, but skin care !

If a person does not Love another because of skin color or shade. I do not believe that person deserves to be loved in return.

The acceptance or rejection of a person on the basis of skin color, is a very poor reason.

oh no don't take it the wrong way, im only talking about the people in america, but yes that is true, in my country, the brighter your skin is the better, but usually bleaches and thing make your skin much worse, and even too much make up messes up the face with freckles and dryness. plus gets it darker...

Dark skinned people want to get fairer.
Light skinned people want to tan.

Brunettes want to be blonds, blonds want to be red heads, and red heads want to have black hair.

Curly haired people straighten their hair, straight haired people curl it.

People want to gain weight, lose weight, gain muscle, not be too muscly (not a word, I know :P).

It's a never ending cycle.

I spent many times on the beach just to make my skin darker 12 years ago (after I finished high school) coz many people (especially girls) considered "fair" skin Malaysian males as "sissies"....and also to stop people from addressing me in Chinese.

OK. Here goes.

Being women, there are times that we may want to lighten certain areas of the body such as elbows and knees. Or even uneven skin discoloration, melesama or other skin discoloration that might be caused due to certain conditions.

In this case you can use natural ways to even out skin tone and "brighten" your skin such as using lemons or lemon juice. Lemon juice is a natural acid and will do the trick over time. Also, castor oil and papaya are natural skin lighteners.

You can read more here: http://www.womans-health.net/best-sk...ng-product.htm

Hope this helps!

In my family we are all different colors because we are Somali/Yemeni. People always talk about how my brother is so "dark" Thats why he is too shy to go out. whenever we have people over he goes to his room and stays there untill the people leave. I also have another brother who has light skin and people just adore him. He is only 6 years old and people are already talking about him marrying their little daughters. This is wrong. They are equally beautiful and should be treated the same.

If you have a problem with your skin colour then you have a problem with Allah because he is the one who created you the way you are.
Lightness does not equal beauty
and uglyness does not equal being darker
Be thankful to Allah that atleast you do not have any skin conditions. My friend has skin conditions and cannot even be outside in the summer time. Using bleach will mess up your skin in the long run. Theres no point,its stupid and pointless. Stop wishin you are lighter and be thankful for the skin colour you have.

Sister...

1) Just look at all the replies you got of people telling you not to do it. listen to the majority.

Do u know the show, "Who wants to be a Millionaire?"...Now in this show if someone is not sure of the answer to a question they ask the audience. And 99.9999% of the time when the majority of the audience chooses an answer they are right.

common sense...

2) And yes, if you are planning to bleach your skin for boys or something, then yes, it is haraam. It is sinful.

3) Remember: Bilal al-Habashi was black!...Bilal was a great companion of the prophet and he was the prophet's mu'athan. (the one who did the call to prayer). He is also one of the people who were guaranteed paradise (Bilal was one of three who was granted paradise [in the particular incident - there are actually more than only 3 who were guaranteed paradise, but these were in separate incidences or hadeeths]).


Trust me sister...just set your intention that you will not do it for the sake of Allah and InshaAllah you will be rewarded - you will get ajr.

see how easy it is to get ajr? lol..SubhanAllah!

p.s. if yo don't, InshaAllah I might get even more ajr than I'm already getting just for writing this!...SubhanAllah!

and Allah knows best.

I am very fair skinned and my husband is black... very dark. I LOVE dark skin and he LOVES light skin. Lots of people like what's different. I think dark skin is so beautiful! It's so much smoother and prettier than light skin to me.

I would encourage you to leave your skin natural and wait till Allah brings you someone who loves dark skin the way I love my husband's dark skin.

But I know that once something is set in your mind you'll probably go ahead and do it. Then after a while you'll get tired of it and want to be the real you again. The skin lightening products you get in the drug stores work for a while but your skin will go back to it's natural color as soon as you get in the sun.

You'll be whatever color Allah wants you to be. And what if the man Allah has for you really has a preference for dark skin? What if you bleach your skin and he comes along and doesn't take a second look at you, but instead chooses the sister beside you with the beautiful dark skinned face?

I agree, Very well put.

I remember in primary school, one asian girl caused herself some serious harm by scrubbing her skin because she wanted to be white. This was caused by racial bullying. Its a very sad thing that we cant just be who we are, and its also very sad that sometimes we arent allowed to just be who we are.

There are lots of things Id like to say to you about this, but I feel the good people of LI have already advised you very very well... and I would only be repeating some of thier points. Most of all just be true to yourself Sister, and remember there is only one of you, thats what makes you special.

Peace and Blessings

In my culture lighter skin is better than dark skin. Culture clashes with religion. It is easy to say 'love the skin ur in' etc but it is harder when everyone around you thinks beauty is how light ur skin is :cry: Anyways don't listen to people that keep saying dark skinned people are ugly because it is not true. I doubt making the skin a bit lighter will make anyone prettier. :D Plus if someone is a really good/nice person you don't tend to notice how pretty/ugly they are.

I think many of us sisters understand completely what the sister is talking about. For the majority of sisters to say 'love the skin your in', this piece of advice is absolutely futile. Darker skin sisters know completely that the majority of brothers who will potential propose are most interested in those who have fair skin. Much of the Muslim world thinks this way, and it is unfortunate and dangerous in so many levels but in the end it is the reality.

I have dark spots on my face and sometimes I will use some 'fair and lovely' to make my skin one colour. But make no mistake, I'm comfortable with the skin I'm in, because I grew up in Canada, and Canadians are not concerned with being fair and ultimately lovely. When I was in East Africa last year, the people believe that those with fair skin are beautiful. Even in Islamic books, when describing the Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with them, the author connects beauty with the women being fair.

WE ARE CONDITIONED.


Anyways, this is what I found pertaining to Islamic ruling:

Ruling on bleaching the skin

Question:
Asalam Alaikum,
What is the ruling on bleaching one's skin, is it
haram or alright?

Answer:

Praise be to Allaah.

Bleaching the skin is done for one of two reasons:

1.it is done in the pursuit of beauty and perfection. This is not permitted because it involves changing the creation of Allaah, and because it is regarded as being in the same class as tattooing, practitioners of which were cursed by the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him).


2. It is done to remove a fault of blemish, such as a black spot or something similar on the hand or elsewhere, which a person bleaches in an attempt to remove the blemish. There is nothing wrong with this, because it is counted as removing faults. And Allaah knows best.

I must say, unfortunately the West has brainwashed all of us into thinking lighter is better. Actually, if you study Arab history, the Arabs believed that beauty was in between very light and very dark, like an olive dark-haired look.
In my country of India, the Aryans, who were white people, believed that lighter was better, which is why in India, the upper castes (brahmins, e.g.) are always lighter than lower-caste Hindus. Doesn't Islam get rid of all of this nonsense once and for all. Most of the women I am attracked to are tan or olive-skinned with dark hair and not the buck-toothed blonde. Wake up everybody.

salaam,

wow , this topic is one of them which people are shy or scared to discuss. everyone should accept the way they are, Allah made you the way he wanted you to be. everyone is special and pretty in there own way. Its all media, that encourages readers to be skinny and fair. (the asian woman magazines etc) and not only that, but i gotta admit that older generation encourage it too. As they have this idea that they want there new daughter in law to be fair and skinny. So they are partially to be blamed too.

I would say im in the middle, not dark and not fair. going to college, and university etc , u meet friends and you get to like there likes and dislikes. and i got to say that the fair girls, did get all the attention. No idea why, again probably another reason to why dark girls feels that they want to bleach there skins.

Please dont do this because of a guy. or guys. its not worth it. Accept who you are, and be greatful, that you have everything else , remember no ones perfect. Some people are unfortunate, and dont have a arm, or a leg to walk properly. and some people are blind. Everyone is different in there own way, and special in there own way, no matter what they look like. its the personality that counts, and the inner beauty. And remember Allah' is the one that can see you and will judge you for who you are. Not these girls, guys, or Aunties, or magazines,

I hope everyones posts help you in your decision.

And remember Allah' is the one that can see you and will judge you for who you are. Not these girls, guys, or Aunties, or magazines
^Well said, if you're trying to impress people then forget it, just be happy with what Allah has given you. Remember that Allah doesn't look at your appearance, but rather he looks at your good deeds. :)

Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullaahi Wa Barakatuh
I think this is right. Where did it all get started that light skin is more beautiful? I have always been impressed with the beauty of Africa and shades of tan, olive, and brown from all Mediterranean places. I spent a month in Africa and there were no white people to see (except me and I didn't see any mirrors around.) When I encountered some Europeans on a beach, I felt like there was something missing- ghost people (yeah, and me too.) I always remember that strange experience, eye-opening. I've come to terms with my (lack of) color.
Take joy in the many hues Allah has given us, each uniquely.

Salaam,
I read a book from the local islamic library on different kinds of procedures, and it said if you want to change your self for beauty it is haram. But if you want to change your self for a health reason thats allowed. I hope this helps you a little bit.

Salam,

Well, it is true that you should not destroy what ALLAH(S.W.T) has created you, however ALLAH(S.W.T) also does not forbade anyone to go for a makeover if they truely wanted to make themselves more attractive or appealing. Insya -Allah, if what you are doing is for the sake of making yourselves more appealing or attractive, than it is OK.

Humans, are the devil in disguise.... Listen to your heart, listen to your soul.... If what you are doing is Right, an unexplained feeling will tell you that what you are about to do is OK (Of course, you must be sincere in what you are doing)


Salam.
