Welcome to Islam brother. Allah (swt) guides whom He wills. My suggestion is to not follow the people in masjid as they might be wrong and going astray. Don't shave your beard and let it go because it is sunnah of the Prophet (saw). Seek the reward of Allah by following the Prophet (saw). You may take a lot of pressure to shave it off but always remember why you are doing it and try to please your Creator over the creation. Although this is important issue and related to not imitating the disbelievers, I think the more important issues that you may have needs to be taken care of. I think you should focus on understanding etiquettes of masjid...Saying the dua before you enter, praying 2 nafl salaam masjid, learning what you are saying in prayer, having a complete understanding of the Islamic creed. I hope we can help you do that and may Allah (swt) continue to guide you..ameen.

Asalaamu alaikum (peace be upon you bro)



that's kool masha Allaah! beards are kool.. alhamdulillah. I remember this poem i read a long while back which encouraged me to grow it;

Context of poem
I came to eat dinner in my halls of residence one day last year when two sisters started laughing at me; I had some food stuck in my beard. They went on to innocently and honestly mock my beard saying it was messy, unnatural and unhygienic. Little did they know the rage that I felt as a result of this and I channeled this rage by unleashing my anger through my pen and out came this poem.

I performed this poem in the Leicester University/DMU Islamic Societies and Eid Celebration and it was received with much laughter and acclaim - Alhamdulillah. Due to popular demand and many requests I have decided to type my poem up and email it to my friends in Islam. Let me remind you all not to be offended as this is no fatwa or religious statement - just a funny poem that spontaneously was produced as a result of my unfortunate experience...



"Glorified be He who beautifies women with long locks of hair
And Men with long beards
There is beauty in the beard
Aye, there is beauty in the beard!

When the lion roars all the animals submit
For the lion is the king of the jungle
The lion with its glorious mane
And a Muslim man grows his mane in pride
Showing the rest of humanity that he is to be respected
Can one imagine a lion without its mane?
Nay, thou canst not!
Then imagine a man without his beard

Woe to worldly women who mock the beards so!
Desiring husbands with clean shaven faces
Woe to women who mock the Prophets Sunnah
In the name of hygiene, neatness and smooth texture
Indeed the women of this world cannot like the beard
But she who wants Paradise adores the beard!

A beard is a gift given to man
Something only he can grow; a woman never can!
When he ponders, he gently strokes it;
When he eats, it stores food;
When he is with kids, they play with it adoringly;
When he is with his wife, she fondles it lovingly;
When the enemy see it, fear is struck in their hearts!
Ah! there is indeed beauty in the beard!

All the Prophets had beards - yes they did!
Muhammad had a beard - so big! so big!
All the companions had beards - o yes! o yes!
All the sages had beards - I know! I know!
All the wise have beards - tis true! tis true!
All the pious have beards - you see! you see!
All the Muslims have beards!? - if only! if only!

Who did not have beards? The kafirun!
Who had clean shaven faces? The kafirun!
Who grew their moustaches? The kafirun!
"And what did our Prophet order?" I here you ask
He ordered us to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
Lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
What greater reason that this can there be
The fact that our Prophet told us to see
That we make ourselves appear to the world
As full bearded men with honour untold

O Muslim brother! Why do you desire to look like a woman
When your blessed facial hair is the differece between you and the opposite gender?
O poor Muslim brother! Why do you imitate the kafir
Instead of following the Prophet of Islam?
O silly Muslim sister! Why are you so blind?
Infatuated with Bollywood actors who have no mind!
O wretched sister! Are you not scared of your choice?
You would rather have a feminine monkey instead of an exalted manly ape!

So indeed I love my beard
And adore the curls and tangles
Which no oil, gel or superglue can ever straighten
My glorious long, curly, messy, fluffy beard!
The playhouse for kids;
The envy of Malaysian people
And the beloved of Allah!

I maybe rejected by worldly women because of this hair on my face
But who care! For my Mum loves it and she puts all such sisters to disgrace!
Be patient Muslim brothers, who shun the trendy look for a Prophetic pose
Paradise with the wide eyed Houris is our final abode!!!!!"

Quite an interesting observation. I know that some people do consider a beard as being "nasty" for that reason. However, following the same logic we can see our bones in the same views. Our bones do consist of many old dead cells that have become the bone matrix. So if old dead hair is cellular manure so are our bones. I doubt if any body would suggest we remove our bones.

Now as far as our bodies in Jannah, I do not have the faintest idea as to what the bodies of people in Jannah will be composed of. What I do here it does not seem like they will be composed of the same material as earthly bodies. Although thoughts of Jannah are interesting, it is our thoughts and actions in this world that will determine if that even becomes an option to be concerned about.

We need to be concerned of what we do today, that will determine what we gain or lose tomorrow.

Recorded in Al-Tirmidhi (2468) from Mu’aadh ibn Jabal that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The people of Paradise will enter Paradise with no hair on their bodies and beardless, with kohl-rimmed eyes, thirty or thirty-three years old.” This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Interesting considering that it is only in recent times that it has become understood that Hair is dead cells and in that sense would be an unclean waste product, not fit to enter Jannah.

oh it is for real according to the guy on the website, you should never use regular shampoo for your beard.. don't ask me why.. as I have no clue-- that guy the second on the left looks like an abolitionist it was really fascinating to look at the entire line of beard shampoos and conditioners

some scholars say that beard is wajib whereas others say it is only sunnah.

it depends which opinion you follow?
