Al-Ghuraba is a Juniper oud-based forest frankincense scented solid cologne. This concentrated fragrance balm is meant to be applied directly to your skin. It is alcohol free and is made solid using Jojoba wax and Shea butter. 
 
In a world increasingly burdened with trials, one naturally longs to escape the chaos of city life and find peace in the calm embrace of the mountain forests. Al-Ghuraba solid cologne opens with a breath of fresh balsamic juniper touched by tart berries that calm your senses. Beneath this lies a warm core of spicy frankincense and the luxurious depth of agarwood oud, creating a musky, confident scent that makes you feel bold and daring. Trailing behind is a subtle harmony of earthy patchouli and woody cedarwood, reminiscent of quiet evenings by the fire, where the crackle of flames and the hush of the wilderness surround you.
 
Al-Ghuraba is the Arabic word that means "The Strangers". It is a group of people referenced in the holy Islamic scripture who remain steadfast in their religion and cling to righteousness during times of tribulation. These individuals remain anchored in their beliefs, walking a path that may seem unfamiliar or "strange" to others. 
 
Narrated by Abu Hurairah:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:  “Islam began as something strange and will go back to being strange, so glad tidings to the strangers.’”
Grade: Sahih Sunan Ibn Majah 3986
 
Narrated by Abu Sa`id:
I heard from the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: "There will come a time upon the people when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take to the tops of mountains and to the places of rainfall, run away with his religion (in order to save it) from afflictions."
Grade: Sahih    Sahih al-Bukhari 6495

The strangers will one day go up into the mountains, leaving behind the trials of worldly life so that they can practice their religion in peace. Al-Ghuraba cologne captures the spirit of that mountain sanctuary where the strangers will retreat to. With scents shaped by the clean air, grounding woods and calming notes that reflect a life rooted in faith and away from distraction.
 
Directions:
This is a touch-activated cologne. This means you only need to touch the surface of the balm with your finger and rub in a circular motion to apply some to your finger. You can use this cologne anywhere, but we recommend that you apply it to your wrists, neck, chest, beard and behind your ears.
 
Storage & Shelf life:
Solid colognes should be used within 2 years of opening, as the essential oils will start to fade. Please store this at room temperature and do not get water inside the container. In cold/hot temperatures, this solid cologne will develop snowflake-like patterns. This is the natural crystallization of the product, and it does not mean that it has spoiled.
