00:00:01 --> 00:00:02
			There are many Muslims
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:04
			on
		
00:00:04 --> 00:00:06
			with faith, the beard will suit very well
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08
			if they have a good growth. There are
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:09
			many Muslims
		
00:00:10 --> 00:00:11
			on a face the beard may not suit.
		
00:00:13 --> 00:00:14
			I remember the first time when I kept
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:15
			a beard
		
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17
			when I was starting the medical college,
		
00:00:18 --> 00:00:21
			and my growth was very sparse. Even now,
		
00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			it's not thick. It is the same. But,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			previously, it was more sparse. You know, just
		
00:00:25 --> 00:00:27
			a few hair here and there.
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:29
			So when I started keeping a beard, 1
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:30
			of our Muslim brothers said,
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:34
			The beard
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36
			has thrown light on your face, and the
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			beard suits you.
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39
			What the Muslim brother was trying to do
		
00:00:39 --> 00:00:41
			was to encourage me that I should continue
		
00:00:41 --> 00:00:42
			keeping the beard.
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:44
			But I knew
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			that as far looks concerned,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:48
			the beard did not suit me. You know,
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:50
			just few hair here and few hair here
		
00:00:50 --> 00:00:51
			and a few hair there. It didn't suit
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:53
			me. Even now after so many years,
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			it has grown a bit,
		
00:00:56 --> 00:00:58
			but not like many of us people
		
00:00:58 --> 00:01:00
			who have got a good growth,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:03
			Add a spouse growth.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			But I have a logic,
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:08
			and I say,
		
00:01:08 --> 00:01:09
			that those Muslims
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11
			who have a good growth, and if the
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14
			beard suits them, and they keep the beard,
		
00:01:16 --> 00:01:17
			they will get the because
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:19
			they obey Allah and his messenger.
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			But those Muslim
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:23
			who don't have a good growth,
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:26
			and if the beard doesn't suit them, and
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			yet if they keep the beard
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			to follow Allah and his Rasool, inshallah,
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			they will get most of up.
		
00:01:33 --> 00:01:36
			Because imagine, even though the beard doesn't suit
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:38
			me, if the beard doesn't suit a Muslim,
		
00:01:39 --> 00:01:40
			yet he keeps for the love of Allah
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			and Rasool.
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			I consider
		
00:01:43 --> 00:01:45
			that inshallah, he will get more salah.
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			All those who keep the beard will get
		
00:01:47 --> 00:01:50
			the, but the person on whom the beard
		
00:01:50 --> 00:01:53
			doesn't suit, and yet he keeps it knowing
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:54
			very well it doesn't suit him for the
		
00:01:54 --> 00:01:55
			love of Allah and,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			he will get multiple times.
		
00:02:00 --> 00:02:01
			Normally, if you analyze
		
00:02:02 --> 00:02:03
			that all the human beings
		
00:02:04 --> 00:02:05
			who keep a beard,
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:07
			if you
		
00:02:08 --> 00:02:09
			take a survey, approximately,
		
00:02:11 --> 00:02:12
			more than 3 fourth
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:14
			of the men
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:17
			who sport a beard, they are Muslims.
		
00:02:17 --> 00:02:18
			More than 75%
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:20
			of the men who sport a beard, they
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:21
			are Muslims.
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:22
			Maybe
		
00:02:23 --> 00:02:24
			about 25%,
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			maybe non Muslims.
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:28
			But those non Muslims
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			who sport a beard,
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			they may have a typical type of beard,
		
00:02:32 --> 00:02:34
			you know, with the mustache curled up, so
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:35
			you can make out that.
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:38
			He's not a Muslim. Oh, may I have
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:40
			a particular type of beard resembling
		
00:02:41 --> 00:02:43
			some other personality indicating that this is not
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			an Islamic type of beard. Or he may
		
00:02:45 --> 00:02:48
			wear an additional sign, like,
		
00:02:49 --> 00:02:52
			worn by the Hindus, all wear across
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			the sign of a Christians.
		
00:02:54 --> 00:02:56
			So most of the time,
		
00:02:56 --> 00:02:58
			when the non Muslim, when they keep a
		
00:02:58 --> 00:02:58
			beard,
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			depending upon the type of the beard or
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:03
			the sign that they're wearing, a cross or
		
00:03:03 --> 00:03:05
			a tika, you can identify that though this
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			person has a beard, he is a non
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:07
			Muslim.
		
00:03:08 --> 00:03:09
			So when you meet a person
		
00:03:11 --> 00:03:12
			sporting a beard,
		
00:03:12 --> 00:03:13
			majority of the time,
		
00:03:14 --> 00:03:16
			more than 95% of the time, you can
		
00:03:16 --> 00:03:19
			identify whether this person is a Muslim or
		
00:03:19 --> 00:03:19
			not.
