Allah knows best Whoever puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is Allah for him. I never saw anyone as just as the world. As long as you pursue the world it will pursue you, but when you turn away from it and seek God, it will leave you alone and its glamour shall no longer fascinate you. |

I tried the Craig David, I knew it wasn't enough, I knew its not what distinguished me from the kaffirs. 3) I heard Allah(SWT) is pleased with those that seek to please him by displeasing the kaffirs.And Subahan-allah, so many other benefits to keeping the beard. 4) I wanted to distinguish my self from the People of Lut(AS). Ther R those who have knowledge and Kno they have it, The Teacher Ther R those who have knowledge but do not kno they have it, The Gifted Ther R those who do not have knowledge BUT kno they don't have it, The Seeker There R those who don't have knowledge and don't kno that they don't, The Loser |

I told my son (aged 10) that it'll be wonderful if he never shaved his beard when it grows. It won't be long. MashaAllah I can see lil dark fluff beginning to appear on his upper lip already. I'm getting him ready mentally lol! Jannah is only two steps away. Put one foot on your nafs and the other one will take you to Jannah. InshaAllah. Important plz read: May Allah grant Muslimah_Sis & her son, success in this world and the Akhirah. Ameen. lololol JazakAllah khair & same to you | |

A beard is not a priority for a Muslim man, it is a sunnah which means it is optional. I am far greater concerned by the fact that so many of us fail to uphold the basics of our faith (praying daily, the 5 pillars etc) than the fact that some Muslim men choose not to wear a beard. Furthermore, the fact that this is written by a sister 'telling men to have a beard' is quite frightful. If a man were to write a rant at sisters to wear hijab, im sure there would be an outcry. It's a lot easier to judge others than to hold ourselves to account. I have a beard but it doesn't make me any better a Muslim. Allah looks not at how you look, but what is in your heart. I know that doesn't mean you can just be immodest in your appearance, but it sure does say a lot about getting your priorities right. |

Quran 24:52 Only those who obey Allah and His Rasool, have fear of Allah and do good deeds, are the ones who will be the winners. Quran 3:131-132 Guard yourself against the Fire which is prepared for the unbelievers. Obey Allah and His Rasool so that you may find mercy. Quran 4:64 We did not send any Rasool but to be obeyed by Allah's leave. If they would have come to you when they had wronged themselves to seek Allah's forgiveness and if the Rasool had also asked Allah's forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Forgiving, Merciful. Quran 4:80 Anyone who obeys the Rasool, in fact, obeys Allah. As for those who pay no heed, they should know that We have not sent you as a taskmaster over them. Quran 47:33 O believers! Obey Allah and obey His Rasool, and do not let your deeds come to nothing. Quran 8:20-21 O believers! Obey Allah and his Rasool and do not turn your back to him, now that you have heard all. Do not be like those who say: "We hear," but give no heed to what they hear. Leaving the beard to grow is clearly an example of being obedient to Prophet Muhammad. Al-Bukhari 7.781 Allah's Apostle said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)." Al-Bukhari 7.780 Narrated Nafi: Ibn Umar said: The Prophet said, "Do the opposite of what the pagans do. Keep the beards and cut the moustaches short." Whenever Ibn 'Umar performed the Hajj or 'Umra, he used to hold his beard with his hand and cut whatever moustaches. Ibn Umar used to cut his moustache so short that the whiteness of his skin (above the upper lip) was visible, and he used to cut (the hair) between his moustaches and his beard. |
