Gemstones in Islam; Signs of a Shi'a; Hijab & Beards - Maulana Syed Rizvi

- Islam doesn't only stay within the heart, it has an overwhelming social dimension which must manifest in our words and actions
- Various manifestations aren't unique to Islam, such as flags, national dress, banners, etc
- Hijab and beards are the most obvious manifestions for Muslims
- Theme related to the 11th Imam regarding the 5 signs of a Mu'min, one of which is wearing the ring on the right hand
- Cleanliness and health are very important matters in Islam.
- Looking presentable reflects positively upon a person, and Islam in general, while being within the confines of modesty and hijab
- The material from which a ring should be made has no limits for women, however for men they should not be gold, including white gold
- Similarly pure silk isn't allowed for men, however ties are ok
- All types of stones are allowed, however there are various stones which are recommended, especially for the Shi'a identity
- Red Aqiq has the qualities of safety and security
- Red Yaqut, honor and wealth
- Feroza, protection and success
- Hadid Sini, strength and power
- Writings on the stones can also be a symbol or sign of identity
- There is sawab in even using these stones in general, because the Ahlul Bayt preferred them, and you are affiliating yourself to them
