Having A Beard In Islam

[Asemahdi3]

Why are you all so much against keeping beard my dear Muslim brothers? I know you all are looking for gaps in verses of the Quran or Hadith to make your life easier. What's so difficult in keeping beard? Are you afraid that people are gonna judge you and put a label on you? People will always judge you no matter how you look or what you do. If they don't do now they will do after a few years when you get older. What matters is what Allah thinks about you.

[kajouben]

those who explain religion, did anyone of you saw the prophete how was his beard, what you say if we shave our beard we are not muslim, God forgive the sins to muslims and you come in this place saying its a sin to cut his beard, is it in the quraan we have to keep the beard.. you only look like jews with your beard , their is no diffence you and rabbis.

[Asemahdi3]

@kajouben Allah will forgive your sin if you repent and promise to never commit the same sin again. Not like you shave everyday and say Astagfirullah. Both Muslims and Jews keep beard and that's why Muslims are asked to trim their moustache and keep their beard to look different from the Jews. Both Muslims and Jews fast but Muslims have pre dawn meal to differ from the Jews.

:) @basicman101 What does it take to go to heaven..... ? I know for sure if I am a cop I have to wear a uniform otherwise no one would recognize me as a cop and i won't be able to perform my duties. A cop uniform would gives a cop his identity He wears a badge wears his cap which shows to everybody that he is the LAW so give him the Due respect. this is just a simple example for an identity.... what you ARE??? And I Know 100% ... Heaven is not Cheap... you pay the price by ur patience,

[rayrayy2009]

so why not do these little things... to show our affection and love towards him. What is on your mind is on your BODY.... ! If you love Jesus try to look like him in his peace be upon him love. :) i hope u r not offended by that....

[TylerMcGinnisJr]

white guy is a PIG that works for the CIA.

[basicman101]

I am glad that in Christianity there is no physical law that was imposed on man to obey such as growing beards or wearing specific clothing. Christianity is about grace, faith, mercy and liberty from being bound by man made rules and laws.

[rayrayy2009]

@basicman101 Grace is what Jesus peace be upon him did, the way he walked, the way he ate, the way he talked, the way he greetedm, the way he addressed, the way he Dressed, What do you have to show as you claim that you love Jesus ..... ???? For example you like Tom Cruise you like to look like him or any other actor or person yu like

[rayrayy2009]

.. so why not Jesus peace be upone him if you claim to be his follower at least do the things for example he jesus peace be upon him used right hand to strat things for example eat,

walked on the right side of the road these are small, little things... Matter of fact these small litle things Jesus Peace be upone him Did... are not worthless when he performed them He is Loved by Allah and Jesus peace be upon him loved by us ...

[higherground2050]

@rayrayy2009 You do NOT have to look like or dress like any body to go to heaven. That is man made traditions and garbage. If its part of your culture, then there is nothing wrong with that. But the way you dress (wearing beards or whatever) is not necessary for the ultimate goal of Heaven.

[jrmelendres]

Ilove the Sunnah of The Prophet Muhammad SallahuAlayhi Wassallam! :)

Its your Identity as a real man to have a beard! Grow it Brothers! dont worry about what people are gonna say! always remember that Allah swt is the Ar-razq! He's the what? Ar-Razq! The Provider!

[haqkahan]

MASHA ALLAH.....GREAT VIEWS & ARGUMENTS BY THESE MUSLIM BROTHERS.....MAY ALLAH BLESS THEM,AMEN.....TRUE MUSLIMS ,WHO HAVE TRUE LOVE WITH THEIR PROPHET (PBUH) ,WILL ALWAYS LOVE HIS SUNNAH AT ALL COSTS....WITH BEARD ONE LOOKS MANLY & WITH CLEAN SHAVE YOU WILL LOOK WOMANISH OR MIDDLE SEX.....EVEN SIKHS ARE BETTER THAN US,THEIR GURU NANAK ORDERED THEM NOT TO SHAVE ANY HAIR OF THEIR BODIES.THEY WILL NEVER DISOBEY THEIR GURU,THEIR UNIFORMS WILL CHANGE...THEY ARE TRUE IN THEIR LOVE,WE ARE NOT.....!!

Hadiths from Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 72, Number 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.

[N4RVS]

How old do you need to be to grow a beard? I'm quite young and not an adult yet, so am I excused until adulthood?

[bc322]

"just plain ol' texas common knowledge"

lol mashallah

[McChirkeen]

@zmsayed - Today, he is called all sort of vile names because the non-muslims are basing his character on what they find in the books of Hadith (married a 6 year old and had sex with her when she was 9 - what does that make him, killed 700 captive jews, sent hitmen to kill enemies etc. etc.). What do you know about these books? Have you studied them? All you possess is the knowledge that some Mullah put in your head. So get off your high horse about "how that makes logical sense".

[McChirkeen]

@zmsayed - Why is this Shirk? because you have said yourself Quran and Hadith go hand in hand. Like God Jesus and the holy ghost go together. Nothing can go hand in hand with Quran. The author of Quran is Allah. The authors of your books of rubbish are Persians (Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Muslim, Abu Da’ud, Ibn Maja and An-Nasai are all persians). The propagation of Hadeeth was to fulfill political agendas. These books were garbage cans of propaganda which smeared the name of Prophet Muhammad.

[McChirkeen]

@zmsayed - The Jews have had 4,000 years of religious enlightenment and they can not seem to accept Jesus Christ and Muhammad as prophets. The Muslims were given the perfect book and they started seeking something else which would suit them. Are you blind that you do not see the state of Muslim Umman today. They are in the gutter - why, because they are being tested? or it is that they are being punished? Given the state of Muslim Ummah, punishment fits the bill. Why punishment? because of Shirk

[McChirkeen]

@zmsayed - Some how you lack the knowledge of Quran which prohibits the entire concept of Hadith other than Quran (Quran refers to itself as Hadith and provides a clear picture of what is to happen to those who subscribe to "baseless ahadeeth" see 31:6 and please read the arabic text if you can). The Christian scholars have spent 2,000 years studying their deen and the best they have done is to elevate Jesus Christ and Mother Mary to the level of divinity.

[McChirkeen]

@zmsayed - Wrong. The Wudu is given in the Quran in 5:6 but you have come up with additional steps which actually does not make it more right. It makes is wrong because the additional steps take away from the spirit of the Wudu and in case of washing out your mouth and nose etc. leads to filth and making others feel sick to their stomach. The very fact that you consider made up garbage like Sahih Hadith as the explanation to Quran makes you a Mushrik OR did you not know that?

[torontoraps8]

I grow an average size beard in the winter and make it lighter in the summer. I think everyone does this.

[brotheryusuf1]

@torontoraps8 i dont

[CabukMustafa]

Beard in islam is not farz, a man without it can be believer and imam too.

But beard is the sign of belief in the face.

[brotheryusuf1]

@CabukMustafa Wrong. What is your proof and bring it foward. 

[CreamyBrown07]

So let me get this straight. The primary source of Muslim knowledge, which is the Quran, doesn't state if the beard is wajib or not.

Other important things like fasting, praying 5 times daily, eating halal food are stated in the Quran & are recognized.

What isnt recognized in the Quran is left to Hadith. Now if we examine the hadith, some are not strong or have no strong link. That means they aren't challenged.

Therefore we use our rationality. Does God judge primarily on material changes?

[atticbadger]

stupid

[kalevra01]

Allah created the heavens and the earth with truth. There is certainly a Sign in that for the believers.

(Surat al-Ankabut: 44

[McChirkeen]

here we go - 3 monkeys who have abandoned the Quran and adopted Bukhari, Tirmidhi and Muslim as their God because they follow the books of Hadith.

[brotheryusuf1]

@McChirkeen Dude, Respecting Muahmmed (saw) Is respecting Muhammed (saw) Thsi guys are more educated.

[McChirkeen]

@brotheryusuf1 - That is a foolish statement that these guys are more educated because you have absolutely no idea about my qualifications or level of education. So I will disregard your comment because it is not based on any facts or research much like the Sahih Hadeeth that you like call "Authentic" evidence of Sunna of Prophet Muhammad.

If keeping a beard is sunna then I guess Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab were both following the sunna way before you all.

[Daski69]

so what this old vagabond is saying that everyone without a beard looks like a woman... lol... that might be true with arab men since they are all skinny and soft but with white scandinavians it doesn't apply

[rkc363]

@Daski69 Was that a joke or something? Arab men are among the most masculine in the world. Whereas Scandinavians are soft looking. Sorry about your identity crisis.

[Daski69]

@rkc363 hahaha yeah you're right sorry... arab men look like they are wearing mascara, they wear white women's dresses, they have squeaky voices, they are 160cm tall and weigh 50kg whereas Nordics are 2m tall, 120kg muscled bodies, light eyes and hair, pale skin, masculine voices and straight posture.

[nadddesigns100]

no, there is no farz beard in islam. tototay wrong answers.Islam is not the religion of physical appearnce Darrhi or beeard comes on 2nd.....And an other important thing is that he sayd wajib farz. Beard is the Sunat (S.A.W).....I astonshed that how wrong teachings of islam they spreading. May Allah give them Hidayat

[mojama2003]

@nadddesigns100 so what does Sunat mean? you dont do it at all?

hadith Sahih Bukhari vol7 bk of dress C64 hadith 780: do the opposite of what the pagans do(musyrik do).Keep the beard and trim the moustages short.

[sithiq88]

Assalamu alaikum brother. First of all we have to realise that talking about allah and islam without knowledge is a major sin. So if you do not know pls dont misguide the people. learning about our deen is obligatory. shaving the beard is not permissible. Allah says in the quran 33:36 No believing man or woman would voice any objection when god and his messenger decree a commandment. Anyone who disobeys god and his messenger has gone astray. may allah increase our knowledge. wassalam.

[MrTakeiteasy1]

@nadddesigns100 May Allah give youuu hidayat my brother. You dont want the beard at least dont spread falsehood to other muslim brothers. Beard is wajib. If you dont want to keep, at least dont influence others not to. And be very careful of what you say. asalam aleikum

[McChirkeen]

@MrTakeiteasy1 - why are you spreading garbage by saying that beard is wajib? Only Allah has the authority of making something wajib or voluntary. If it is not in the Quran then it is NOT wajib or did you not know that because you have never studied the Quran (just reciting it is not called studying).

[MrTakeiteasy1]

@McChirkeen I dont really have time to argue with you brother. if you dont want to keep, dont. But know that it is wajib, narrated in couple of aunthentic hadiths. you should teach yourself proper islam inshaAllah. asalam aleikum

[McChirkeen]

@MrTakeiteasy1 - "authentic hadith" - were you there when this hadith was spoken by the Prophet? I don't think so. All you have is what Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Muslim etc. have written in their compilations. You should teach yourself proper "logic" instead of thinking that fairy tales are authentic because some persian "Imam" said so. There is nothing wrong with my Islam because I follow the Quran. I believe you need to check yourself because you are toying with Shirk when you buy into hadith.

[MrTakeiteasy1]

@McChirkeen i want to ask you one question, how do you pray?? which way do you follow while praying? do you just sit down, and pray to Allah, or you stand and pray the way the prophet did? and if you do this, then where did you get that from? you should use your brain more brother. sometimes this world can deceive, and beware of deception

[McChirkeen]

@MrTakeiteasy1 - The deception lies in the books of Sahih Hadeeth and not in following the Quran alone as it is ordained. You should be using your brain to figure out what Quran is saying about following a hadeeth other than the hadeeth contained in the Quran. Have you studied the Quran to see what is mandated for a believer. You ask about Salaat, but you yourself do not perform the salaat as ordained in the Quran. The salaat according to the Quran has been researched and published. Find it.

[MrTakeiteasy1]

@McChirkeen where should i find it? what about you telling me exactly where i should i find it, since i have never heard it prescribed in the Quran. Brother you should pray to Allah to give you knowledge which is of benefit, not of destruction. some other knowledge instead of guiding you, destroys you. no more argument, salam aleikum

[McChirkeen]

@MrTakeiteasy1 - Go study the quran and find it.

[McChirkeen]

@MrTakeiteasy1 - and Allah has given me knowledge which made me realize that downfall of Muslims is due to mixing the Purity of Quran with impurity of Sahih Hadith compilations. Look around, Muslims are in the gutter. They rank at the bottom in every civilized characteristics such as education, literacy, GDP, social welfare. The rank highest in corruption, human rights violations, acts of terrorism etc.

So go pray for yourself and others like you so Allah can open up your mind to the reality.

[soldier192]

@McChirkeen agreeing with hadiths is not shirk LOL, what are you saying. may ALLAH guide you.

[UchihaAsif]

[kohler55]

@UchihaAsif

Im 18 , im growing beard since im 15-16 ! and whether u like it or not, know that Allah likes it. And thats where the topic ends. Grow ur beard bro, benefits are countless. Peace

[UchihaAsif]

@kohler55 fine, ill do that

[McChirkeen]

@kohler55 - can you name me these benefits? you are 18 and highly influenced by the Hadith totting mullahs of your community so you are in no position to declare what is beneficial.

[rayrayy2009]

@McChirkeen :) picking on 18 years old teenager why not pick on who is as same age as you are... i like this teenager's ... enthuisiasm that he wants to follow Sunnah.and every mullah is not a tout... ... And Sir you are in NO position Either to declare that what is benifical for a person .. because Who made you the judge??? .... And you know Prophet Muhammad Peace be upon him is going to be the only one to Shifat for his followers....

[BrotherIslam]

@UchihaAsif you should be proud of that your a mature male

I am letting grow up my beard

César yusuf Mexico

[haikallp]

i dunno..but i dun think it's wajib..

i think it's sunnah..

[civilisationskerl]

It´s not about the lenght!!!!

[soldier192]

The length for an Islamic beard is a fist full. if you look at the sahaba's they had beards about the size of their fists or longer, if they could grow it. Also the 4 imams school fo thoughts, say if you can grow do not trim it under a fist full because it is haram. Google it.

Salam

[McChirkeen]

@soldier192 - What an idiotic statement "if you look at the sahaba's" - please publish the picture that shows the sahabas which is the source of your moronic statement. It is people like you who have ruined the name of Islam by putting forth statements that are the epitome of stupidity.

[soldier192]

@McChirkeen you make all these statements but are you a qualified scholar of islam? have you spent years studying islam? i warn you against making your own interpretations without knowledge

[McChirkeen]

@soldier192 - Short answer is Yes i am a qualified scholar. Don't warn me about making my own interpretations. Allah gave us that right in the Quran keep your warning to yourself and stop spreading the trash of sahih hadith.

[soldier192]

@McChirkeen where did you study? under what teacher and what school?

[MacPr0xnxx0]

i am 21 and can barely grow facal hair is there any hope i will grow more by the time i am 25? or am i just stuck no hope

[saifrizwan]

This test is required because the medicine can affect your liver. So I decided to not opt for this treatment.

Now I keep my beard trimmed, I have from time to time tried growing it but the same thing happens all over again and I have to shave it off. Then people start asking you why you shaved your beard, or you get those "looks". Or maybe I'm just imagining it. :P

I ask you all to pray to Allah to rid me of this problem.

[saifrizwan]

Its true that the beard should not be shaved but unfortunately some people, have to shave like me for instance. I have a problem that develops, it is called folliculitis, because my beard hair is so tough, it causes problems in my skin and damages the roots during its growth. This eventually eventually leads to bleeding and immense amount of pain. it pains to the extent that you cant keep your face on the pillow when your beard gets longer! I grew my beard for a year, but it became too painful.

[saifrizwan]

to bear in the end. When I shaved it off my face looked messed up for a little while due to the excessive boils that had developed. When I keep a clean shaved face there is no problem at all, and alhumdulillah my face stays completely free of any problems.

I went to a doctor to get this problem cured, but none of the medicines helped. The last resort is taking these really strong pills straight for 6 months. However you have to take a liver function test before doing this.

[semihkorayozkan]

Beard is for people who lives in desert like most of Muslims. Reason is, desert dust is makes human skins dry.

Beard protects your face from sand grain which is flying in storms or wind.

[sparstar]

OMG they bought you out , is that true or falls

Jessus was sold for 30 silver coins. am i wright how abut you? mr apologiest

o sorry i forgot about the long dress, and shall on ur head, or hat on ur head, what else? so if ur confused just look any gentleman in saudi, dress code is full in effect, in order for u to fit in, last but not least make sure u shave ur mastash, No questioning plz u just do it. thank you

[AFG007KING]

BEARD is ur passport to janah, no Bread no janah,

[OneUniversalCreed]

salamu alaikum, thats a little extreme akhi. Iman in Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the key to Jennah, His Rahma. The beard is a sunna and is important to have, but you can not say that whoever does not grow the beard can not go to jennah, this is wrong brother. The Shafi'i Madhab says that the beard is NOT wajib, but mustahhab, and some Maliki Ulama say the same.

[AFG007KING]

salam alikum wa rahmatulla, brother ur beard as absoulitly nothing to do with islam rather its a jewish law, for suna go on google, do arabic word search in Quran u'll come to know what it is, suna means (The Way) simple, of Allah swt and messengers pbu them u must read Quran and see every time the word Suna is used. thnx peace. i got fustrated with these guys, thats why i wrote the above statement. Taqwa is most important, 7,26

[Tuntaalam]

@OneUniversalCreed

its not about what shafi Imam Shafi or and imam says.. its about what Prohpet (p.b.u.h) said. if it is in the hadeeth that it is wajib. then it is wajib, imam shafi wud not have wanted to go against the hadeeth, its just that the authentic hadeeth cudnt reach him at that time and he made his decision.

[McChirkeen]

@Tuntaalam - There is no authentic hadeeth other than the Quran. Why is that so difficult for you to accept? can you not figure it out that Sahih Hadeeth Compilations are satan inspired man made conjecture? Do you not study the Quran to learn that Quran warns us about these compilations.

31:6 - And among mankind there are those who buy into baseless ahadeeth to mislead without knowledge, to mislead from the path of Allah and throw ridicule, for such there will be a humiliating penalty

[Tuntaalam]

@McChirkeen

i have read your other comments and the reply other people gave you, and i got to know that there is no point of arguing with you.. i can just pray for your guidance

Assalamualikum brother

[McChirkeen]

@Tuntaalam = Actually there is no point in arguing with you because you have not studied the Quran. Your education comes from those books of hadith that have been misleading the Muslims for at least 1200 years. Pray for your guidance that you can leave the SHIRK i.e. compilations of sahih hadith and come to the Quran.

[Tuntaalam]

@McChirkeen

i would just say one thing, you think you can only study Quran and go to jannah? how many people are there who thinks like that? lets say 5% ? ok i would be generous lets make it 10%. you think 90% of the muslims are going to jahannum? because mushriks cannot enter jannah, i dont think Allah (swt) can allow that to happen.

if you want to follow the islam only by studying Quran you can "try" but dont implement your beleifs into others

ASsalamualikum

p.s am not gonna reply you back,

[McChirkeen]

@Tuntaalam - You are so typical of hadeeth mongers because the total disregard for logical arguments is wasted on you. What you wrote makes absolutely no sense because if I study the Quran, there is no guarantee that I will go to heaven. No one has that guarantee because all souls will be judged on the day of judgment. So putting down your sad comments has revealed a great deal about you.

And, yes please don't reply back as I am very sad to see the level of education in people like you.

[DaYungGuy]

@McChirkeen These Hadithers are ridiculous. Do they seriously believe facial hair is going to get them into heaven? Look at the Hadith: Stone people! Kill apostates! What is the reason there is the Shia/Sunni religious difference? Hadith! If there was no such thing as Hadith there would be no such thing as Sunni Hadith and Shia Hadith, i.e. NO SPLIT! Islam would be in a better place for sure

[McChirkeen]

@DaYungGuy - Brother, Islam is being destroyed by these propagators of fabrications. The cause of division with in muslims was due to these Sahih Hadeeth compilations. These compilations were put together by the Persians to destroy Islam. They were based on folk lore, pagan legends and traditions, Jewish, Christian, Zoroastrian traditions and political agendas. They were manufactured 250 years after the death of the Prophet. They created fictitious characters such as Abu Huraira.

[DaYungGuy]

@McChirkeen I agree 100 percent. But, as I'm just learning about the Quranist Movement, do you pray 3 times or 5 times a day?

[McChirkeen]

@DaYungGuy - check your account i have sent you 2 messages there.

[Dwalimz]

@McChirkeen Then if anyone did make up those hadiths and they are not true, they will be judged upon their actions. But as Muslims we are supposed to follow it. If we have no way of knowing if they are true or not, I don't think that will alter our deeds in any way. Who ever made these "False" ones will pay for what they have done, not us.

[McChirkeen]

@Dwalimz - You will pay because you are warned time and again in the Quran to stay from these sort of misguidance. Your statement represents the views of those who want to be good Muslims but have no idea what are the mandates set in the Quran. Take 31:6 where Allah clearly says that there will be humiliating punishment for those who misguide mankind using "Lahwal Ahadith". Putting up another source of guidance next to Quran is SHIRK. The only hadith that is authentic is the Quran.

its really simple. do you want your wife or mother to wear hijab? if you do then you should wear yours. or else you are being a hypocrite . because the mans hijab is his beard. sadly today you see many muslims ordering their wife or sister to wear hijab but they dont wear one. muslim men in the west are scared of having a beard because of the looks they might get but they dont care if their wife gets those looks she must wear hijab.

all you MEN. support your women dont sell them out.

[mindfreak172]

hadith Sahih Bukhari vol7 bk of dress C64 hadith 780: do the opposite of what the pagans do(musyrik do).Keep the beard and trim the moustages short.

I have a question tht needs to be answer here:

if keeping a beard is fardu, how about trim the moustage? is it a sin to shave the moustage?.

[abdelbaasit1]

The Prophet's words were: اعفوا اللحيى -- which could be translated as "keep, spare, the beard." Give it a chance. Let it grow.

Next part أحفوا الشوارب or another verb used is قصوا . In another word, the verb is انهكوا. These are all authentic.

The majority of Scholars (3 out of the 4 Imaams) say, this means "trim" the moustache. Don't cut it fully (i.e. shave). Just trim. And the majority of the predecessors did this.

[McChirkeen]

@abdelbaasit1 - May I ask where did you the recorded words of the Prophet. If your source is Sahih Hadeeth compilations then your argument has no base as according to Quran 31:6 you have purchased baseless ahadeeth. These scholars were NO scholars if they put their belief in the Sahih Hadeeth compilations. Who cares what the 3 out of 4 Imams say, what was their basis for stating such moronic mandates that a beard is part of religion. Get a life.

[soldier192]

@McChirkeen read the tafsir oh that ayah and then you will see what it means. translating without knowledge will get you nowhere as you have just shown.

[abdelbaasit1]

@McChirkeen God says in Chapyer 33: "Verily, you have a perfect role model & example to follow in Allah's Messenger (i.e. Prophet Muhammad), for whoever hopes in Allah"

*Prophet Muhammad kept a beard. So did all his companions.

In fact, all the Prophets of God - this was a mark on all "men of God" - kept beards & didn't shave! e.g. Jesus Christ the son of Mary.

+ Have u read the Quran? Ull find even in Chapter 20 (Taha), at the end, God mentions that Moses' brother (Aaron) had a beard

[abdelbaasit1]

@McChirkeen BTW, I already have a Life. Its called - "ISLAM". Thas my life. Not a cherrypicking Islam, like Allah warned us of in Chapter 2, "Are u gonna believe in some parts of the Book & reject other parts (according to your whims/taste)?"

God said in Chapter 24, v. 54, obey not only what God says (i.e. the verbatim word of God which is the Quran), but also you must obey the MESSENGER (i.e. Muhammad, the bearer of the Quran, to whom this Book ws revealed). If u obey him, u will be guided.

[abdelbaasit1]

However, the view of Imam Abu Hanifah & his students was to shave it fully. However, the meaning of those terms used in the hadith either أحفوا or انهكوا or قصوا mean "trim". This is known in the arabic lanuage

So this is actually a misunderstanding of the hadith. So its not a SIN to shave. But the Prophet's way was to trim. The Companions did the same as well. Also-- the vast majority of the "Salaf" did this as well. Salaf were the pious predecessors.

[abdelbaasit1]

The great Imaam, Abu Haneefah said: عليك بالأثر, وطريق السلف, وإياك وكل محدثة فإنها بدعة "Adhere to the narrations & way of the Salaf (righteous predecessors), and beware of newly invented matters in the religion, for indeed they are all Bid'ahs!"

So Abu Haneefah (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered us, to follow the Salaf. Follow what the righteous predecessors do.

Any other questions, please email me at "yughni" (at) aol(dot)com

trim.

[AgimBardhi]

During the prophets time (PBUH) history tells us the men then had full beards. The Prophet(PBUH) said, leave your beards(which were long during those days). So stop changing the sunnah cause your ingnorant. They had long full beards, we were told to do the same. Thats it!

[McChirkeen]

@AgimBardhi - During the time of the Prophet, Abu Jahl, Abu Lahab, Ummaya and all the enemies of Islam had beards as well. The Prophet rode a camel, but I don't see you doing that. Prophet communicated via letters not emails nor using a phone. Wake up and get yourself out the gutter of ignorance. You want to know what is Sunna of the Prophet, following the Quran and only the Quran is the sunna of the Prophet and his companions.

This person you're making fun of used to be a preacher of the Christian faith, him and his father, but Allah , their Creator guided him, his wife and his father. Islam is a way of life, from the cradle to the grave. Knowledge is the cure to ignorance. Knowledge is power.
