Question
I made dua to allah to change my eye color and it did change, scholars online warned against it, they said its a transgression, but I thought âallah who made me can change my eye colorâ now that my eye color did change (am being for real) what should be my belief, is doing so a transgression?
Islamic Ruling & Answer
At the level of belief, your faith and conviction in Allah's power are sound, and making such a supplication is not, in itself, an act of disbelief (kufr) or shirk. However, in terms of the etiquette of supplication (du'a) and spiritual refinement (tazkiyah), making unnecessary physical changes a major focus of one's du'a is not praiseworthy; rather, it comes close to iĘŋtidÄĘž fi al-duĘŋÄĘž (exceeding the proper limits in supplication). Therefore, it is more appropriate to avoid this style of du'a and instead focus on seeking success in matters of faith and the Hereafter. In this way, both your belief remains sound and your manner of supplication stays closer to the Sunnah and the way of the righteous predecessors (Salaf).
