00:00:01 --> 00:00:02 
			They would ask a question
00:00:03 --> 00:00:05 
			that he has heard that there are certain
00:00:05 --> 00:00:07 
			benefits, scientific benefits for
00:00:08 --> 00:00:08 
			wearing a cap
00:00:09 --> 00:00:11 
			and sporting a beard. What are they?
00:00:12 --> 00:00:13 
			Yes. There are many benefits, and you can
00:00:13 --> 00:00:15 
			give a list of benefits. Like, if you
00:00:15 --> 00:00:17 
			wear a cap, it protects you from sun
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21 
			from a sunstroke. Your breath starts having sunstroke.
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23 
			If it dries a little bit, your head
00:00:23 --> 00:00:24 
			doesn't get wet.
00:00:24 --> 00:00:25 
			There are various
00:00:26 --> 00:00:29 
			benefits for keeping a beard for the scientific
00:00:29 --> 00:00:29 
			benefits.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:31 
			There was a latest research done
00:00:32 --> 00:00:33 
			that
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34 
			those men
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36 
			who keep up here
00:00:37 --> 00:00:38 
			and wash it regularly,
00:00:39 --> 00:00:42 
			they have less chances of having upper respiratory
00:00:42 --> 00:00:43 
			tract infection,
00:00:43 --> 00:00:45 
			infection of the lung, of the throat, etcetera.
00:00:45 --> 00:00:47 
			But if you keep a beard and don't
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49 
			wash it regularly, there are more chances of
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51 
			you having a respiratory tract infection.
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53 
			So the research says that those men who
00:00:53 --> 00:00:54 
			keep a beard
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57 
			and offer salah. You know, you have to
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59 
			do before salah. Minimum 5 times a day,
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 
			you wash it.
00:01:01 --> 00:01:03 
			There are less chances that you'll have upper
00:01:03 --> 00:01:04 
			respecter infection.
00:01:04 --> 00:01:06 
			There are various benefits.
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07 
			But
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 
			a Muslim, like,
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			there are various benefits. But a Muslim most
00:01:11 --> 00:01:12 
			of the Muslim,
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14 
			they wear the cap and keep the beard.
00:01:14 --> 00:01:15 
			Why?
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19 
			Obey Allah and obey the messenger. If Allah
00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 
			commands you whether there are scientific benefits or
00:01:22 --> 00:01:22 
			not,
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28 
			I'm a person who believes. So mainly we
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 
			keep it because it's a commandment of Allah
00:01:31 --> 00:01:32 
			This lecture was just trying to convince those
00:01:32 --> 00:01:35 
			people who may not have that much faith.
00:01:35 --> 00:01:37 
			Just because the Quran says I follow it,
00:01:37 --> 00:01:38 
			just because the Hadith says I follow it,
00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 
			we have to give other logical reasons to
00:01:41 --> 00:01:43 
			convince them. So these scientific reasons
00:01:43 --> 00:01:44 
			may help
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45 
			may help
00:01:45 --> 00:01:47 
			those Muslims who are on the brink.
00:01:48 --> 00:01:50 
			It may help these scientific reason, these benefits.
00:01:51 --> 00:01:53 
			But the main thing is, if the label
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55 
			shows your intent, you wear it.
