An early morning post..Lets talk beard

Bismillahi Rrahmani Rraheem,

Though the intention to write this was days back, as you see in the previous post. Was not getting enough time as things were at its peak at work. Now, all is good. On the way back home for weekend in Train. Wake up at Shornur Jn, after freshen up, am on with writing this.

Initially I wanted to write things in detail, now I feel anyone who reads this will be good enough to understand the details even without mentioning it. Let me do it reverse the order I mentioned in the previous post. Will the agencies catch you, because you have a beard, considering you as a terrorist? See the answer is simple. “No” they won’t. Just as you and I know that putting on a beard or not are not qualifications for one to be a terrorist or so on. It’s all about what you are doing, when seen from an agencies angle. It is foolish to believe or even think that our intelligence agencies will ever catch someone just because he has a beard. At least we need to consider them more intelligent then ourselves because they are so.

Now let me come to a better part of it. Why people grow beard, it can be because they like it or due to cultural or religious reasons. Now let me touch upon the aspect of this from an Islamic point (Which is what I am concerned about right now). Allowing the beard to grow and cutting moustache short is a very prominent Sunnah (Act shown and taught by Prophet Muhammed Swallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), with many authentic reports, which the companions of Rasool Swallallahu Alaihi Wasallam, the people after them throughout the generations and now, Scholars of this Ummah taught and did, and are continuing to do. And this is very important, indeed; many of the scholars consider beard for men as compulsory. Compromising on one Sunnah will make one to compromise on many others. It is only the insecurity feeling among the people in Islam make them to have this mindset of changing themselves without even giving a little thought on what things are.

Rest is for you to ponder, Barakallah
