Yasir Qadhi – Beard VS. Hijab

			Tip number seven.
		

			Don't
		

			think that the one who is studying Islam automatically himself come to a time where this issue is
one that will basically become one that they're thinking about all the time. I think that a person
who begins his religiosity will not and should not be approached with this one issue. Rather they
should be approached with basic knowledge with what is what is Islam, what is the man? What is still
hate, how do we worship Allah? Why do we worship Allah, emphasize the prayers emphasize the Koran,
emphasized spirituality emphasize the World Vision of Islam? These are far more important questions.
And I personally in my own interactions, when I'm, you know, meeting with Muslims over and over
		

			again, I never go out of my way to emphasize the issue of the beard. Once I get to know somebody
whom I've known for a while and he doesn't have a beard, I might jokingly remark, you know something
about Oh, inshallah? No, next time I see you have, you know, some beard or something that just a
joking remark in passing, that will make him think I don't sit him down and give him a huge lecture.
I just don't think that's appropriate. And I think it turns many people off, who have been raised in
the western environment, I think it turns people off to be so blunt about an issue that they believe
to be trivial. And I think that to introduce it in that matter in a blunt manner is not wise,
		

			whether it should be done in a indirect manner, and inshallah slowly but surely, I mean, I've never
really had any problems once a person reaches a level of a man, and really religiously, where they
want to follow the Sunnah of the Prophet system. One of the most obvious manifestations of that is
the beard. And so I've never really had any problem building spirituality, and the beard will come
automatically. Is it appropriate to equate the hijab with the beard in these in this respect? Not at
all, not at all. This is definitely not correct, because the evidence is for the hijab or Quranic
and there is no explicit Quranic evidence with a beard. The hijab has been the symbol of Islam for
		

			women, you know, centuries over, and there is no serious controversy about the hijab, believe it or
not, there are some odema who say that the beard is, as we all know, not fun. And this is this is
something that you find, so the controversy over the beard has been around much longer than that of
the hijab there is really no controversy over the hijab. So to equate the beard and the hijab and to
say that at the same level is definitely not correct. Not every watch he was at the same level and
the evidence is differ from issue to issue. So the evidences for the hijab are for more explicit for
more Quranic form overpowering than the evidences for the beer even though I think both of them are
		

			for
		

			law.
