or
must growing your beard is an obligation
it is f w for a Muslim to grow his beard
because Prophet Mami wasallam commanded
Muslims to grow their beards and to trim
their mustaches and he made no
exceptions in that instruction so the
only circumstance wherein one could say
I shaved my beard and I
feel that Allah will excuse me is if my
life or limb has been threatened it's a
question of life or death somebody says
either you shave your beard or I will
blow your head off you shave your beard
then that is obligatory on you shave
your
beard but I very sad to look that many
workers of the peace vision of Islam
cutting beard very having beard very sof
why you have to ask them even speakers
too announcers and volunteers too okay
that's good let me throw something at
you let me throw something at you real
quick okay just I want you to think
about this the first thing you do you
look in the Quran it says in the
Quran oh you who believe obey the
messenger okay obedience to the
messenger is obedience to Allah so we're
going to establish that first so if he
says something it's not like if somebody
else says it and if he tells me to do
something I need to try my best to do it
or die trying right all right yes or no
you got me okay but it's not an oblig
hold on it's not an
obligation on a man to grow his beard
and I want you to listen real close to
this because we're playing with words
because a brother came up to me one time
and after we talked about the beard I
went through the books they got books on
the subject and it's very clear all four
M there's no excuse for you not to have
a beard they all said it do it okay but
listen they're going to ask you about
the beard and every conference you go to
they're going to ask you about the hijab
everywhere you go and they're going to
ask you about Reba it's going to happen
and hellow me I don't care where I go I
hear the same questions but so finally I
just I said listen the first thing is
the Quran the second thing we go is
Hadith and then after that I'm going to
tell you what just plain old Texas
common knowledge a man doesn't have to
obligation to grow a beard and I'll show
you why cuzz a man came to me after the
conference he said listen I want you to
pray for me he's smooth face he said I
want you to pray for me I said okay what
do you want me to pray for he said I
want you to pray I'll grow my
beard I said I can't do that he said why
I said that
Sherk he said what I said that Sherk I
can't pray for you to grow a beard Allah
is the one growing the beard it's not
your obligation to grow it it's your
obligation to stop cutting it
off oh I'll pray for you that you'll
stop cutting off what Allah grows but
you don't know how much Allah La grows
some people don't have any beard how
could it be obligation on somebody who
doesn't have any hair coming out of
their face your obligation is if you get
some hair to take care of it as the
prophet told us about grooming it caring
for it and it's in the ma that when
you're making W that you're supposed to
come up through it like this and how you
going to do that when you ain't got
nothing there to come up
through and then finally one of the
brothers is done Mississippi he
said yeah but he said I got a problem
with my wife she wants me to be clean
shaven I said I got to ask myself a
question what kind of woman wants her
husband to look like another
woman but they never did invite me to go
back to Mississippi either
