They would ask a question
that he has heard that there are certain
benefits, scientific benefits for
wearing a cap
and sporting a beard. What are they?
Yes. There are many benefits, and you can
give a list of benefits. Like, if you
wear a cap, it protects you from sun
from a sunstroke. Your breath starts having sunstroke.
If it dries a little bit, your head
doesn't get wet.
There are various
benefits for keeping a beard for the scientific
benefits.
There was a latest research done
that
those men
who keep up here
and wash it regularly,
they have less chances of having upper respiratory
tract infection,
infection of the lung, of the throat, etcetera.
But if you keep a beard and don't
wash it regularly, there are more chances of
you having a respiratory tract infection.
So the research says that those men who
keep a beard
and offer salah. You know, you have to
do before salah. Minimum 5 times a day,
you wash it.
There are less chances that you'll have upper
respecter infection.
There are various benefits.
But
a Muslim, like,
there are various benefits. But a Muslim most
of the Muslim,
they wear the cap and keep the beard.
Why?
Obey Allah and obey the messenger. If Allah
commands you whether there are scientific benefits or
not,
I'm a person who believes. So mainly we
keep it because it's a commandment of Allah
This lecture was just trying to convince those
people who may not have that much faith.
Just because the Quran says I follow it,
just because the Hadith says I follow it,
we have to give other logical reasons to
convince them. So these scientific reasons
may help
may help
those Muslims who are on the brink.
It may help these scientific reason, these benefits.
But the main thing is, if the label
shows your intent, you wear it.
