Popis: Eye gestures are an important component in the expression of meaning and sign. It is considered one of the most active types of signals and is an expressive language that allows communication to take place more meaningfully. For the ancient Arabs, paying attention to the eyes when communicating and expressing was considered important, which tacitly made them agree on the importance of the eyes in the process of expressing one’s thoughts. This paper aims to reveal the importance of eye gestures that are visible in the facial expressions of the Prophet Muhammad PBUH. Accordingly, the methodology employed is through a qualitative approach using content analysis involving the hadith narrations regarding the eye signals of the Prophet PBUH and the scholars' descriptions of them. The findings of the study showed that eye signals were visible in the facial expressions of the Prophet PBUH which were acceptable to the Arabs and by the psychological state of the recipient. It can be concluded that non-verbal communication was once used by the Prophet PBUH and this study suggests that future conducted studies can link between the practices of the Prophet PBUH and the non-verbal practices of modern society today.
