Beard

Al Salamu 3alaykom wa ra7mat Allah wa barakatoh ..

Is it obligatory for the man to let his beard grows up?

Many Muslim people keep on saying that it is from Sunnah. Alright, it is sunnah, but let me ask this question; is Sunnah for reading only without applying it. Aren’t we called Sunni people!! Aren’t we encouraging and advising them to follow what came in Sunnah, what the Prophet Mohammad Salla Allahu 3alayh Wa Salam came with! How can we do that while we are not following it!!

We know some of what came in Sunnah is not required to do, but it’s great to do it and follow the Imam of all prophets. So for those who say that not shaving the beard is just something not compulsory, I say you are totally wrong. We are commanded when the prophet 3alayh el Salat wal Salam said let your beards grow in the following hadeeth:-

قال عليه الصلاة و السلام: أعفوا اللحى و في رواية أخرى أرخوا اللحى وحفوا الشوارب و لا تتشبهوا بالمجوس

Also it was told about him when he met some guys from Al Fors, he saw them beardless, and they claimed that they were asked by their God to do so, they used to consider their king as God, but Mohammad 3alayh el Salat wal Salam said, but Allah ordered me to keep my beard, as we know, the only God is ALLAH Sub7anah wa ta3ala.
