Is growing a beard just a fashion statement for Muslims? Why do Muslims grow beards?\u00a0And turbans, what’s that about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beard and the turban were part of the outward appearance of the Prophet<\/a> \ufdfa! As a result, they are two very important symbols of Islam. Just the simple act of growing a beard and donning a turban is a form of worship to Allah \ufdfb !<\/p>\n\n\n\n Did you know that there\u2019s an act of worship that constantly rewards you for every second of the day?<\/p>\n\n\n\n By growing a beard, we are obeying a command of the Prophet \ufdfa. It is narrated by Ibn Umar(ra) that the Prophet \ufdfa said: <\/p>\n\n\n\n “Cut the mustaches short and leave the beard (as it is).<\/em><\/p>Bukhari<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n By obeying the command of the Prophet \ufdfa, every second is recorded as an act of worship by the angels!<\/p>\n\n\n\n But not only that! It’s a well known fact that we emulate the people that we love. By growing our beard and adopting the clothes of the Prophet \ufdfa, we follow in the path of our Prophet \ufdfa and show our love for him.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allah \ufdfb\u00a0 says in the Quran: \u201cSay, \u02f9O Prophet,\u02fa \u2018If you \u02f9sincerely\u02fa love Allah, then follow me; Allah will love you and forgive your sins. For Allah is All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.\u2019\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>Quran 3:31<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n The renowned scholar, Ibn Kathir, states in his commentary about this verse<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis honorable Ayah judges against those who claim to love Allah, yet do not follow the way of Muhammad\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/p>Tafsir Ibn Kathir<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n It was the practice of the Sahaba and the generations that came after to emulate the sunnah of the Prophet \ufdfa down to even the minutest detail! By doing so, we increase in our love for the Prophet \ufdfa who once said about Jannah: <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Prophet (\ufdfa) said, “What have you prepared for it?” The man said, “Nothing, except that I love Allah and His Apostle.” The Prophet (\ufdfa) said, “You will be with those whom you love.\u201d<\/em><\/p>Sahih Bukhari<\/em><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n So, are you thinking about growing a beard now?<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Is growing a beard just a fashion statement for Muslims?
