Differentiating from Non-Muslims through Hair Dyeing

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised Muslims to dye their hair in order to be different from Jews and Christians.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'The Jews and the Christians do not dye their hair, so be different from them and dye your hair'."
أَخْبَرَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى لاَ تَصْبُغُ فَخَالِفُوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَاصْبُغُوا

QUICK LESSONS:
Follow Islamic teachings while striving for uniqueness and individuality.

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah states that the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) advised Muslims to dye their hair in order to differentiate themselves from Jews and Christians. This is because the Jews and Christians do not dye their hair, so it is a way for Muslims to stand out. It also serves as a reminder of one's faith, as it is a physical representation of being Muslim. Additionally, this hadith teaches us that we should strive for uniqueness and individuality while still adhering to Islamic teachings. We should not follow the practices of non-Muslims just because they are popular or widely accepted; rather, we should strive for our own identity within our faith.
