“ When applied to fingernails , regular nail polish creates a barrier , preventing water from reaching the surface , thereby mooting the ablution process .

and , take wuduk , and reapply their cosmetics once prayers are done , which can be a hassle in of itself .
In addition to wuduk , Muslim women are often wary of the ingredients that are used in cosmetics , as some ingredients are forbidden in the Muslim faith , such as alcohol , swine ingredients and the blood of predatory animals .
Although there was scepticism on the notion of wuduk-friendly cosmetics , many have become open to the idea of halalcertified cosmetics .
Local brand Nurraysa Global Sdn Bhd received swift recognition for incorporating halal and natural ingredients in their cosmetics whilst adhering to Islamic values in their operations .
Their latest product , Compact Powder Make Up Natural , is perfect for Muslim women as the makeup brand is made from organic marula oil and does not contain lead . It is also easy to remove and reapply , making it pollution-friendly . It is an ideal beauty product for Muslim women to achieve a beautiful complexion while being prayer-friendly .
ELM Beauty , another local brand that sells nail polish targeted to Muslim women , also adheres to halal standards and Islamic teachings .

However , although there are brands that promote halal and Muslim-friendly cosmetics , Muslim women should always practice vigilance when it comes to cosmetic brands , as some brands may not be ablution-friendly .
RUNNING WITH STYLE
Modest fashion should not only be limited to recreational activities but also include outdoor activities and sports .
For Muslim women , even casual exercisers , donning modest attire while engaging in physical and sports activities is essential , and over the last few years , Muslim women have had more choices when it comes to sports hijab .
Local sports retailer Al-Ikhsan Sports has stepped foot into the Muslim market with the launch of their AL Sport Hijab . Its sports hijab targets consumers who are looking for affordable prices and functions .
In addition , its sports hijab is designed

with SmartDry Technology , keeping Muslim women comfortable when exercising . Smart- Dry Technology is made up of three layers of lightweight , stretchable fabric , with each fabric designed to function differently .
The first layer of the sports hijab absorbs sweat , whereas the conductive second layer channels heat to the third layer . The third layer , the diffuse layer , releases heat to keep the wearer cool during physical activities .
Since the launch of AL Sport Hijab , Al-Ikhsan has expanded to sports shoes , slides , slippers , apparel , sports accessories and other forms of Muslimah sportswear , all of the highest quality while also being affordable .
Although the Muslim lifestyle adheres to Islamic teachings , it does not have to be stringent when it comes to living . Although practising the Muslim faith is important for
Muslims , it is also vital to modestly enjoy God ’ s bounties on this good Earth with unnecessary restrictions
- everything in moderation . –
