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
