when u say shadow do u mean stubble?

clean shaven guyz certainly do look girly to me...

bearded guyz seem more handsome than the ones with stubbles

my 17 year old bros neva shaved and tends to grow a beard but

there aint much there,

i agree it takes yonks 2 grow but if u wanna look decent enough and

please allah taalah and follow the sunnah of the prophet p.b.u.h

its worth the wait.

Guys defnitely look better in beards as opposed to clean shaven, i think a lot look batty with no beard. I also agree with muslimsis that some ok looking guys who grow a beard can make a huge difference in terms of looking good.

I think the fact that some ppl dont keep their beards neat, tidy and presentable is what puts off some other males from keepin one. A beard should look good not be somethin that makes u look like u need a shave big time!

Yeah, a shadow is stubble.

My brother is obsessed with shaving.

But I'm glad he isnt into those ridiculous thin lines (on his sideburns) which I'm sure takes hours to perfect....

its ok now to say it i guess....

....i USED to always have a clean shave Lol

occasionaly a lil gotee on its own wen im feelin bored. the lines are hard to do and take 2 much time. plus they look teppy lol. and my dad says its micking the beard playing about with it and makin designs. so ive always believed keep it clean (tash on its own is freshy!)....or keep a proper beard

He is free, he is mad,

We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

I'm really impressed with all the sisters here, not one has said beard doesn't look good, I pray may allah (Swt) give the same faith and strong belief to all sisters as the sisters on this forum.

I remember when my brother (yonks ago) went to get married and he had a little beard but when he got to Pakistan women there made sure it wasn't left anymore....he got married and then kept it again....but it never grew more than a cm long Biggrin

Some people I know personally don't keep beards because of there wifes. The wife doesn't like it so they have an excuse that 'my wife has some rights over me too you know!'

Did you know that some months back scientists said a man with a beard is more wiser and intelligent than the man without?? Smile

The best preacher is the conscience, the best teachers are time and experience, the best book is the world, the best friend is God

guys who are clean shaven are girly girls :twisted:

only girls should have clean faces

mashaALLAH!

What an excllent thread!

First I must congratulate Muhtarama Kuri for starting it.
Second I am sooo pleased that for once there is no-one on thsi thread who has said anything to majorly infuriate me! (I think im going soft)

Third i also congratulate Muhtarama Yashmaki for some excellent posts but I would just like clarification on on issue.

Muhtarama mentioned about trimming, and I get what she was saying about making the beard neat and tidy but just to make it clear, trimming according to our hanafi madhab is ONLY permitted AFTER it has exceeded a fistful, this is regardless of if you think some hairs are out ot place or growing in an ''abnormal'' manner. Having said that there is also a permission to trim if AND ONLY IF the person s suffering from some medical condition due to which his beard does not grow fully, in this situation according to some of our ulama it is permitted for him to TERMPORARILY have a dispensation to trim in order to ENCOURAGE further growth.

Hayder bro it is indeed heartwarming that you have decided to adorn your face with sunnat e Ambiya alayhim us salaam. I encourage you to grow a full beard, because a trimmed little thing on the face in hanafi madhab does NOT constitute a beard.#

Those 'ulama' who hav tiny beards should fear ALLAH and recognise that in ahnaaf such a thing is not accepted as a shari beard.

Further it should be noted that it is permissible to trim after the beard exceeded a fist in length BUT it is better to let it grow. It was the practice to trim the beard by and large at hajj/umrah time to release from ihraam, the rest of the year the beard was left to grow naturally.

If the beard is considerably long THEN it should be trimmed to a fist and allowed to grow again unhindered. Infact it is a sign of Islam that the men kept full and large beards. The beard adorns th face of man, increases his nobilty but also acts as a veil of modesty on the face of man.

May ALLAH grant us ALL MEN the tawfeeq to follow this wajib sunnah and refrain from imitating the women and the non-muslims.

Ya ALLAH Madad.

i dont like long yeti looking beards

and before everyone attacks me-I'm entitled to MY pref

i cant help what i do or dont like

i know i've posted this before but it cracks me up each time i read it

Salams,

I know it's Sunnah to grow a beard, but I can only seem to grow a mustache. I mean, what's a girl to do?

-- Hairy Huma

Response: Although I applaud your efforts at achieving follicular Sunnah, I'm pretty sure that growing a beard applies to males only. If you're intent on sporting a beard, however, you can always ingest hormones to catalyze hair growth. But of course, there is a strong propensity for unwanted hair growth and violent mood swings, accompanied by irritability and random nausea.

You might want to consider another option, which is to shave the barren facial area several times a day to spur rapid hair growth. One of my best friends, let's just call him "Mirza Baig", desperately wanted to grow a goatee when he was at the young age of 13. Consequently, he shaved his chin and surrounding areas incessantly, anywhere from 3 to 10 times daily. Lo and behold, in a matter of two weeks, Mirza had a flourishing, Brillo-Pad of a go-tee and was the very reason his Jr. High had to implement a "Facial Hair" clause in the Code of Conduct booklet.

So shave on my sister, there is hope for you yet!

So the beard is "only the sunnah of the Holy Prophet (saw), not a big issue"?

Angels. Shall we make his sandals into an issue as well ?

And what about his goat. Did you know he had a goat ?

Omrow

hahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahaahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

What you put in the hearts of others; is what goes back into your own heart…

Omro this thread was created to discuss beards and its the sunnah of the Holy Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) and if you wana talk bout sandals/goats go ahead no one is stopping you...if somone decided to bring this topic up they felt it was a big issue and i agree.

You want to talk about beard, whereas I was asking whether you wanted to discuss the goat that Prophet had.

I love that goat.

I am thinking of keeping a goatee.

Agreed with Sister Yashmaki

ok so whats the goats name? Havin a goatee is not sunnah. btw if you loved the goat so much you must also have love for the practice of keepin a beard which was the Sunnah of the Holy Prophet (saw)? So why not just stick to the topic at hand and if you wana talk bout the goat then create another thread, still want to knw the goats name....

The one who made a comment on the sandals and the goat should be careful extremely. His remarks were ridiculing and mocking and I am free from them.

In answer. I say if someone wants to discuss the sibti slippers or the Noble Goat of Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam then it will be an honour for the members of this forum to discuss such things. I think the other members will agree with me that more beloved for us is that goat than mountains of gold, and the dust which rested on those most Noble Slippers are worth more than our parents.

So if anyone wishes to discuss these issues it is an honour for us and a means of salvation inshaALLAH.

salaam
i agree totally with Med...now that makes a refreshing change Biggrin
We should have upmost respect and extreme love for the holy prophet (saw).
Muslims are lovers of the Prophet(saw) and we have love , respect and affection with everything associated to the prophet (saw).He is our hero, our role model, our teacher, our guide and our path to paradise.

Med, enlighten us on the goat of the prophet (saw)...i will be intersted to hear what you have to say.

What is this business about a "Noble Goat" and it's "Noble Slippers" about?

bro, the beard is the sunnah of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) - so it is a big deal. it is sunnat e muakkadah and some say it is wajib. It is an act if u do u get reward and [b]if u dont u get sin[/b]. Read the ahadith posted earlier in this thread.

some actions and practise of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) are not compulsory acts, or no emphasis was put on that order, no direct order was placed on that act, therefore they are not compulsory, no sin if u dont practise them....eg turban- the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) wore it all the time but is not sunnat e muakkadah or wajib, no direct orders relating to it; the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) had a walking stick, he had a cloak (chaadar mubarak), he used to wear sandals, he used to wear a jubba etc....all these practises can be followed and, one will get reward if done with the intention of following the sunnah of the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) but no direct orders are placed on them, no compulsion, no sin if u dont do it etc.....

all the school of thoughts agree that to shave the beard is HARAM...the differences are on the size of the beard. THATS WHY KEEPING A BEARD IS A BIG DEAL, IF YOU SHAVE IT IS HARAM, IF YOU DONT HAVE A BEARD IT IS A SIN.

Not doing something is one thing, disagreeing is one thing but mocking and insulting these practises is very serious and can be an insult, which is an act of kuffar...to insult anything relating to the prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam (Peace and Blessings be upon him) is an act of kufr! so be careful what you say.
Once a man in the presence of Imam Abu hanifa said he doesnt like turnips (qaddu in urdu/punjabi). Imam Abu hanifa was so upset and said you have insulted the prophet (saw), u dislike what the prophet liked- the turnip was the prophets favourite food. Imam Abu hanifa asked that man to read the shahadah again!!!!!!

so be careful when you are talking about anything relating to the acts and practises of our beloved prophet (saw). Extreme love and respect should be used at all times.

Basically we were discussing the issue of the beard and how it is a salient feature of islam, a practice of the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam and a must for muslim males.

In response a certain individual in my opinion tried to cast aside the issue by trivialising it. An he tried to trivialise it by saying that the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam also wore a certain type of slipper, that the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam had a goat. His point was that we dont follow those issues so why we making the beard into such a big deal.

My response was that I viewed his comments as mocking and ridiculing Holy Practices of the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam. He tried to use examples which in his mind were insignificant viz the slippers and the goat. My reply was that WE view even that goat which was owned by the Holy Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam more valuable than gold, and that those slippers which fitted on His Most Blessed Feet are also extremely dear to us.

I hope the issue is clear.

Who has ever said that I do not accept a beard ?

Please read my posts carefully. You may be a girl, but that is no excuse for jumping on me with false conclusions.

However, I dont think that Salafi/Wahhabi members will be too keen in placing this much praise on a goat.

They dont even like Prophet's house. Thats why they are knocking it down.

By the way Med, if you think I was stepping on the sandals then you are too stupid to see where I stand.

"angel" wrote:

Angel. I bet you want to know the design of those slippers too.

I have absolutely no idea what that holy goat was called.

As you advised me angel, why dont you now create a new thread and someone might tell you the name of the goat. Otherwise you will have to do your own research.

It can't be too difficult to find out what a particular goat was called over a thousand year ago.
