Why Grow a Beard?


"If God had wanted you to have a hairless chin, He would have given you one." (Marvin Grosswirth)[82]

"He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man." (Willian Shakespear (1564-1616) Much Ado About Nothing, act 2, sc.1)

[Extracted from Growing a Beard: In Light of the Qur'an,Sunnah and modern Science by Dr. Gohar Mushtaq.]

Assalamu Alaikum bro Shamsud-Deen,
I have the whole book "Growing a Beard: In Light of Qur'an, Sunnah and Modern Science" in a pdf format. I can send you that to post it on your website if you provide me with your email at this blog site. I tried but could not find your email.

Ma'assalaam,

Hashim

Wa 'alaykum as-Salamu wa rahmatullah.

It's ok ya akh. I'm merely taking a few extracts from the book to inspire others to grow the beard, especially our fellow Muslim brothers.

Thanks for your initiative. BarakAllahu feekum.
