Zakir Naik – Is Sporting a Beard compulsory

How will I follow the commandments of the

glorious Quran in Suri Anam chapter 6 verse

54? That whenever those come to thee, who

believe in our signs, whenever the moments approach

you, whenever the Muslims approach you, wish them

a salaam alaikum. How can I follow this

guidance?

Unless I recognize

that the person in front of me is

a Muslim or not?

People may ask me, is

it a fart? Is it compulsory

to keep a beard and wear a cap?

I have not come across a single verse

in the glorious Quran which says that it

is a fard to keep a beard. There's

not a single verse in the glorious Quran.

The only place

where the Quran mentioned about the beard, is

in chapter

number 20,

verse number 94, which says,

He said, Aaron, peace be upon him, tells

his elder brother, Moses, peace be upon him.

He said, that, oh, son of my mother,

Don't hold me by my beard

or by the hair on my head. This

is the only verse in the glorious Quran

which mentions the word

beard. Aaron, peace be upon him, tells his

elder brother, Moses, peace be upon him, when

he gets angry, that don't hold me by

my beard

or by the hair on my head. Indicating

that Harun alaihi salam,

Aaron, peace be upon him, had a beard.

That's all.

This was doesn't say that it's compulsory

for every Muslim

to keep a beard. The glorious Quran says

in several places,

In several places.

In Suri Al Imran, chapter number 3, verse

number 32.

In Surah Al Imran, chapter number 3, verse

number 132.

In Surah Nisa, chapter number 4, verse number

59.

Chapter number 5 was number 92.

Chapter number 8 was number 1.

Chapter number 8 was number 20.

Chapter number 8 was number 46.

Chapter number 24 was number 54.

Chapter number 24 was number 54. Chapter number

24 was number 56.

Muhammad, chapter number 47,

verse number 33.

Chapter number 58, verse number 13. In several

places,

including

chapter number 64, verse number 12, the glorious

Quran says,

and obey the messenger.

It's compulsory

that every Muslim should obey Allah, and obey

the messenger.

And it's mentioned

in Sahibuhari,

1 number 7.

In the book of grace,

chapter number 64,

Hadith number 780,

Nafi, may Allah be pleased with him, he

narrated that Ibni Umar, the son of Umar,

said,

that the prophet, peace be upon him, said

that

do the opposite

of what the pagans do.

Keep the beard

and cut the mustaches

short.

It's a commandment of the beloved prophet, that

keep the beard and cut the moustaches short.

It's further mentioned in Sahih Bukhari, verb number

7, in the book of dress,

chapter number 65,

Hadith number 781,

that Ibn Umar, may Allah, be pleased with

him.

He narrates

that the messenger of Allah,

may peace be upon him, said

that

cut your moustaches short

and leave your beard.

Most of the scholars

say

that keeping a beard is mustahab.

Mustahab means highly recommended.

Some people say

It's a highly recommended sunnah of the beloved

prophet.

While there are many other scholars who say

that because of

finances, obey Allah

and obey the messenger, any commandment of the

messenger

becomes a fard on every Muslim. So there

are many scholars who say that keeping a

beard is fard.

Many scholars say it is

highly recommended.

While some scholars say, many others say that

it is

because it's an. It's a commandment of the

beloved prophet. Any commandment of the beloved prophet

becomes afar on every Muslim.

But

any Muslim,

if he's a true Muslim,

irrespective whether it's Mustahab

or Afar,

he will keep appearing.
