There are many Muslims
on
with faith, the beard will suit very well
if they have a good growth. There are
many Muslims
on a face the beard may not suit.
I remember the first time when I kept
a beard
when I was starting the medical college,
and my growth was very sparse. Even now,
it's not thick. It is the same. But,
previously, it was more sparse. You know, just
a few hair here and there.
So when I started keeping a beard, 1
of our Muslim brothers said,
The beard
has thrown light on your face, and the
beard suits you.
What the Muslim brother was trying to do
was to encourage me that I should continue
keeping the beard.
But I knew
that as far looks concerned,
the beard did not suit me. You know,
just few hair here and few hair here
and a few hair there. It didn't suit
me. Even now after so many years,
it has grown a bit,
but not like many of us people
who have got a good growth,
Add a spouse growth.
But I have a logic,
and I say,
that those Muslims
who have a good growth, and if the
beard suits them, and they keep the beard,
they will get the because
they obey Allah and his messenger.
But those Muslim
who don't have a good growth,
and if the beard doesn't suit them, and
yet if they keep the beard
to follow Allah and his Rasool, inshallah,
they will get most of up.
Because imagine, even though the beard doesn't suit
me, if the beard doesn't suit a Muslim,
yet he keeps for the love of Allah
and Rasool.
I consider
that inshallah, he will get more salah.
All those who keep the beard will get
the, but the person on whom the beard
doesn't suit, and yet he keeps it knowing
very well it doesn't suit him for the
love of Allah and,
he will get multiple times.
Normally, if you analyze
that all the human beings
who keep a beard,
if you
take a survey, approximately,
more than 3 fourth
of the men
who sport a beard, they are Muslims.
More than 75%
of the men who sport a beard, they
are Muslims.
Maybe
about 25%,
maybe non Muslims.
But those non Muslims
who sport a beard,
they may have a typical type of beard,
you know, with the mustache curled up, so
you can make out that.
He's not a Muslim. Oh, may I have
a particular type of beard resembling
some other personality indicating that this is not
an Islamic type of beard. Or he may
wear an additional sign, like,
worn by the Hindus, all wear across
the sign of a Christians.
So most of the time,
when the non Muslim, when they keep a
beard,
depending upon the type of the beard or
the sign that they're wearing, a cross or
a tika, you can identify that though this
person has a beard, he is a non
Muslim.
So when you meet a person
sporting a beard,
majority of the time,
more than 95% of the time, you can
identify whether this person is a Muslim or
not.
