i cant exactly remember in one hadith it states that we shud love our rasul more then our family!

we shud balance it out, by trying to show our family wot islam is about and try to make islam our first goal inshalah!

salaam,

ok this is probably what your looking for sis Helena ^^^.....(i thought id share some back-up)

"None of you believes until he loves me more than he loves his children, his parents, and all people."

although we should all try and remember (as sis Daffodil mentioned) that it is not for us to judge. of course we should warn people and try and help them, but at the end of the day its not in our power. whatever Allah ta'ala wills will happen.

we can never understand peoples intentions, “Allah knows that which deceives the eye and what the hearts conceal.”
therefore mentioning peoples faults isnt really up to us especially if we dont know the situations and so on....Allahu Alam

wassalam eace:

Sister Helena i agree with you totally, many of the Muslims have taken these nasheed singers as role models instead of the Prophet(pbuh). So we must speak out and educate those people about the correct path of the Quran and Sunnah. Among the Majority of the ulema of the Salaf they agree the beard is Wajib and that shaving it is haram, they even go as far as saing that the person who shaves his beard his testimony will not be accepted and that he can not lead the Salah.
According to the Hanafis it is prohibited to shave the beard (Ad-Durh al Muktahr)
According to the Malakiis it is prohibited to shave the beeard (Sharh ur-Risalah)
According to the Shafiis it is prohibited to shave the beard unless you have a medical reason(Sharh al ubab)
According to the Hanbalis, Ibn Taymiyyah says it is prohibited to shave the beard (Al- Ikhtiyarat)

so from this it is quite clear that the Scholars of the Salaf agree that it is prohibited to trim the beard let alone to design in a way imitates the non believers.

The command of the Prohet(pbuh) are clear that you should leave the beards to grow, there is no authentic narration to sugeest that the Prohet or the comapnions ever shavedthere beards. However there are narrations from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbass that whatever extended below the fist lenth would be trimmed "Abdullah Ibn Umar went for Hajj he used to hold his beard and cut what ever extended below his fist" (Bukhari)

There are many hadiths where Prophet(pbuh) told us to spare our beards and not to imiate the kuffar "closely trim the moustaches and spare the beards" (Bukhari) "cut the moustaches and grow your beards. Be different from the magians" (Muslim)

so brothers we can clearly see that the beard is something we can not take lightley, we must advice, educate, our brothers about this issue and give naseeah that the Prophet(pbuh) way is the right way, and highlight that other than is the hellfire.

Jazakallah khair brother ghurabaa2000...wherever u are...May ALLAH shower HIS blessings on you..

This brother's last activity in this forum dates back to 2006....What he has shared is great.

Not to be a butthead or anything, but there is more to Islam than growing a beard. The amount of bearded Muslim guys I've seen chatting with girls is astounding. Not that I'm judging them. Heck, most of 'em are mates of mine. But I don't pick on what I perceive as their flaws, and they don't pick on what they perceive as mine. As a result, everyone gets along just fine.

But when someone drops the H-Bomb (that's 'Haraam' rather than 'Hydrogen') all hell breaks loose.

What was all that stuff we're supposed to be doing to unite the Ummah again?

Good point. Unfortunately, many people don't understand the importance of the five pillars, or even basics of haraam and halal. But they like to stir up excuses, that "at least" they've got a two fist beard, which they think is "the sole requirement" of Islam. This reminds me of college; an argument between two people. A reasonably practicing Yemeni Muslim (without a beard), and a Pakistani Muslim (with two fist beard), over the importance of prayer. It was on a "Friday", a few hours after the Jumu'ah prayer. The Pakistani brother stated how his beard makes him superior to his Yemeni "opponent", and is sufficient to guarantee him a place in paradise, without the need to pray. He "went" as far as to call the Yemeni brother "a kaafir", for not keeping a beard. Some posts in this thread, suggest along the same lines.

Calling someone a 'kaafir' is haram, especially to a muslim brother. How could he think he's guaranteed a place in paradise when he treats the others like this? =(

i read may time in this tread that islam is more then just growing a beard naam it is but growing a beard is wajib so it is a part of islam and this tread is in regards to this hence no one is saying beard is islam rather it is a part of islam and need to be followed

then you got those people who say i seen a women wearing a jilbab with a boy friend or a man with a beard smoking weed and a person with no beard or no jilbab doing good things well that is good the beard doesnt protect one from sinning nor does the jilbab but it does protect them form the sin of shaving or not wearing the jilbab just becasue a brother has a beard doesnt mean he wont mistake we all make mistakes but again the one shaving the beard is still shaving the beard and sinning in that so its like this a person grows a beard and does sins doesnt change the fact that the beard is still wajib and this is a silly thing to say people with beards sin of course they do but the Beard is still wajib

There's a big difference between maktoob and waajib; between hijaab and the beard. Hijaab is part of modesty; a maktoob law, while beard is part of a law regarding appearance; i.e. its reference to waajib, not maktoob. Hence, the two points aren't of comparison, as the laws both both are under separate categories. However, if one looks at the argument from a "western philosophic" point of view, one may be able to bring in many comparisons.

Correctly followed faraaidh prevent a person from certain forms of sin; as the Quran states, that salaah prevents a person from fahshaa and munkar. This means if the salaah is prayed, following the teaching of Islam, and not merely jump up-and-down, then turn right-and-left- finnished!

Similarly, if one is going to keep a beard, one must keep in mind that he is trying to follow a sunnah, which he is doing for the purpose of following Rasoolullah :saws1:, and NOT just as a fashionable item on his chin, nor a show-off device.

Finally, this post doesn't intend to refute anything you wrote, but merely adds to it. Allah knows best.

He was only doing what he learnt at his local masjid, nothing more. This is another reason, why its important to have more educated teachers at our masaajid. Unfortunately, Britain lacks educated Muslim teachers.
