Salam.
I hope everyone had/has a very wonderful and pious Eid.
Eid Mubarak to everyone...
I need some help regarding to the Sunnahs of the Prophet (PBUH) this one has to do with sleeping.
I read that one should..
"To apply surmah in both the eyes."

- I was just wondering what does "surmah" mean? or what is "surmah"?
If someone can inform me it would be greatly appreciated.
Jzk.

surmah is like a black khol that you apply to the eye. It bees in a sort of a pot (dont know how to describe it (lol) I think you can get it from muslim shops.

Treat your eyes with kohl, for it nourishes eyes and eyelashes. [Narrated Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi]
