00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			How will I follow the commandments of the
		
00:00:02 --> 00:00:05
			glorious Quran in Suri Anam chapter 6 verse
		
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09
			54? That whenever those come to thee, who
		
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11
			believe in our signs, whenever the moments approach
		
00:00:11 --> 00:00:14
			you, whenever the Muslims approach you, wish them
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:17
			a salaam alaikum. How can I follow this
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:17
			guidance?
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:19
			Unless I recognize
		
00:00:19 --> 00:00:21
			that the person in front of me is
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:22
			a Muslim or not?
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			People may ask me, is
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			it a fart? Is it compulsory
		
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30
			to keep a beard and wear a cap?
		
00:00:32 --> 00:00:34
			I have not come across a single verse
		
00:00:34 --> 00:00:37
			in the glorious Quran which says that it
		
00:00:37 --> 00:00:39
			is a fard to keep a beard. There's
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			not a single verse in the glorious Quran.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			The only place
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47
			where the Quran mentioned about the beard, is
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:48
			in chapter
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50
			number 20,
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:52
			verse number 94, which says,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			He said, Aaron, peace be upon him, tells
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:01
			his elder brother, Moses, peace be upon him.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:04
			He said, that, oh, son of my mother,
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			Don't hold me by my beard
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:15
			or by the hair on my head. This
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			is the only verse in the glorious Quran
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			which mentions the word
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:22
			beard. Aaron, peace be upon him, tells his
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			elder brother, Moses, peace be upon him, when
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			he gets angry, that don't hold me by
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27
			my beard
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			or by the hair on my head. Indicating
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:32
			that Harun alaihi salam,
		
00:01:32 --> 00:01:34
			Aaron, peace be upon him, had a beard.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			That's all.
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			This was doesn't say that it's compulsory
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			for every Muslim
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43
			to keep a beard. The glorious Quran says
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44
			in several places,
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:48
			In several places.
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51

00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			Chapter number 24 was number 54.
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:14
			Chapter number 24 was number 54. Chapter number
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			24 was number 56.

			Muhammad, chapter number 47,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:19
			verse number 33.
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:23
			Chapter number 58, verse number 13. In several
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:23
			places,
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			including
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:28
			chapter number 64, verse number 12, the glorious
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:28
			Quran says,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:33
			and obey the messenger.
		
00:02:35 --> 00:02:35
			It's compulsory
		
00:02:36 --> 00:02:39
			that every Muslim should obey Allah, and obey
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:40
			the messenger.
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:42
			And it's mentioned
		
00:02:44 --> 00:02:44
			in Sahibuhari,
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:47
			1 number 7.
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:49
			In the book of grace,
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:51
			chapter number 64,
		
00:02:51 --> 00:02:52
			Hadith number 780,
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:55
			Nafi, may Allah be pleased with him, he
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:58
			narrated that Ibni Umar, the son of Umar,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:59
			said,
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:02
			that the prophet, peace be upon him, said
		
00:03:02 --> 00:03:03
			that
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:04
			do the opposite
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:06
			of what the pagans do.
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:08
			Keep the beard
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:10
			and cut the mustaches
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:11
			short.
		
00:03:13 --> 00:03:15
			It's a commandment of the beloved prophet, that
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			keep the beard and cut the moustaches short.
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:22
			It's further mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, verb number
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			7, in the book of dress,
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:26
			chapter number 65,
		
00:03:26 --> 00:03:28
			Hadith number 781,
		
00:03:29 --> 00:03:31
			that Ibn Umar, may Allah, be pleased with
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:31
			him.
		
00:03:32 --> 00:03:33
			He narrates
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			that the messenger of Allah,
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			may peace be upon him, said
		
00:03:38 --> 00:03:39
			that
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:42
			cut your moustaches short
		
00:03:42 --> 00:03:44
			and leave your beard.
		
00:03:45 --> 00:03:46
			Most of the scholars
		
00:03:46 --> 00:03:47
			say
		
00:03:47 --> 00:03:50
			that keeping a beard is mustahab.
		
00:03:51 --> 00:03:53
			Mustahab means highly recommended.
		
00:03:54 --> 00:03:55
			Some people say
		
00:03:56 --> 00:03:59
			It's a highly recommended sunnah of the beloved
		
00:03:59 --> 00:03:59
			prophet.
		
00:04:00 --> 00:04:02
			While there are many other scholars who say
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:03
			that because of
		
00:04:06 --> 00:04:07
			finances, obey Allah
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:10
			and obey the messenger, any commandment of the
		
00:04:10 --> 00:04:11
			messenger
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:14
			becomes a fard on every Muslim. So there
		
00:04:14 --> 00:04:16
			are many scholars who say that keeping a
		
00:04:16 --> 00:04:17
			beard is fard.
		
00:04:19 --> 00:04:21
			Many scholars say it is
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:23
			highly recommended.
		
00:04:23 --> 00:04:27
			While some scholars say, many others say that
		
00:04:27 --> 00:04:27
			it is
		
00:04:28 --> 00:04:31
			because it's an. It's a commandment of the
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:34
			beloved prophet. Any commandment of the beloved prophet
		
00:04:35 --> 00:04:37
			becomes afar on every Muslim.
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:39
			But
		
00:04:40 --> 00:04:41
			any Muslim,
		
00:04:42 --> 00:04:43
			if he's a true Muslim,
		
00:04:43 --> 00:04:45
			irrespective whether it's Mustahab
		
00:04:45 --> 00:04:46
			or Afar,
		
00:04:47 --> 00:04:48
			he will keep appearing.
