So,according to your feeble mind eating pork and drinking alcohol are the biggest evil in the world.Not Racism,Human experimentations ,Polluting the environment,Social injustice,pedophilia,poverty,Financial gluttony etc.None of this are the greatest evil just eating pork and drinking alcohol.You must update yourself to the 21st century.
Your vision is clouded and your knowledge is feeble.Just by shutting of sales of pork and alcohol will not make evil go away.You are too ignorant to know that.besides you their are millions of activists and social workers around the globe,who work every day to eradicate the evils I mentioned from this world,many of them have nothing to with any religion and some of them are like me Atheists.Come down the real world,its much more complex than you think and ask yourself what does you have to offer to this real world.Because these the biggest evils in our society not eating pork and drinking beer.
He said it under the following circumstances.
Prophet Mohammad SAW Migrated by the command of Allah so he can succeed in his mission working from Madina and also save his companions from the persecution of Meccan Atheists. In Madina there lived three tribes of Jews also who used to grow mustache and shaved beards. So Prophet said to Muslims to shave their mustaches and grow beard so Jews would know that you are Muslims.
Neither growing beard is mandatory in Islam nor shaving is Haram.You are simply making these things up because of your ignorance.
No Sir they are evil and not good things to do not the biggest evil Sir in Islam and keeping beard is order of ALLAH and his RASOOL SAW and Muslims have to do it my vision is clear and not clouded if you are have some problems your problems not mine Islam is clear on what is evil and what is good and we have spread good and stop the evils of all kinds Meccan were not Athiests this shows your pathetic knowledge Beard is mandatory in Islam and shaving is haram I am not making anything up you are lying about Islam
in that case sir .why r u livng in a country founded by a beardless muslim. And do u really think allah will judge me on basis of facial hairs.
NO ALLAH will judge us on that did we followed orders of HAZRAT MUHAMMAD SAW or not and Beard is one his of orders among many other orders Beard is also one of them

Zarvan there are 3 views or possibly more on the topic. The entire issue with the Wahabis is they want to promote what they believe as the absolute truth and ignore every other theory on the matter. I could post articles upon articles and videos upon videos of different views on the beard but that would obfuscate the topic. Furthermore how did talk deviate from the beard to eating pork and drinking?
It is as necessary for us to understand that the rights and freedoms of each man are to be protected otherwise we are no different from these guys and have no moral right telling them what they are doing is wrong.
I believe you give a very negative view of Pakistanis and Muslims to the world. A scholar can never be a good scholar if he states only one view on a selected matter and does not even take into account the rest at all. As for the beard, I hope this man gets his right. This is the way to go about it. Maharashtra as a state has always been a problematic place as are all places where fanatics are sitting in government-including Gujarat.
I have never heard of a ruling on beards in the police while I was in Lucknow. The officer might not have proper knowledge of the matter.
Sir their are not three views their is only one view sir agreed by all school of thoughts and I gave you the answer Sir all sufis wahabis and other school of thoughts agree that beard is mandatory on Muslim men Sir

I read this somewhere,written by some brother.I don't know him but pray that may Allah bless him,because he wrote really well!
He wrote:
"Muslims are overcome with western influence in their lives and it's easy to forget, nay, neglect the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). Little do these Muslims realize the magnitude of their actions in imitating Kufaar ...This is truly shocking! Hopefully the information presented herein will enlighten those. And then there are others who claim that the matters concerning beards is a "little" issue not worthy of mention nor practice. To them I say get off the denial, you're a Muslim! Follow the Prophet (Peace be upon him) in all aspects of life, for he was the best of examples. I couldn't tell you how many times I've mistaken a Muslim brother (outside of the Masjid) for a kaafir on account of his clean-shaven, well oiled, face. How can I say "Assalaamu Alaikum Brother!" when I do not know if he is a Muslim. Yet that very brother then wonders why he was ignored! Sure, he can tell if others are Muslim on account of their beard, but what about himself? From one brother to another, I say: "Grow a beard, then, since it also promotes Brotherhood in the real world. Stand with your Brothers, be one. We know you think you are handsome without it (a beard), but who cares? What matters is how Allah (S.W.T.) sees you."
JazakAllah ...WaAsSalam o alaikum Warehmatullah Wabarakatuh.
What Islam says About the Beard
From The Shari Length of the Beard by Mufti Afzal Elias, May Allah reward him abundantly, aameen.
Transferred to the web for the benefit of all Muslims by Islam.tc
This pamphlet is to emphasize the importance and the length of the beard. Many Muslims have queried regarding this point. I have also found that people prefer keeping a beard in imitation of what's in vogue rather than that prescribed by Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam). A compilation of this nature has become important because the impact of the western way of life seems to be luring unwary Muslims into such a craze that the importance of the beard itself is being doubted and scoffed at.
To those who feel the issue is trivial to worry about, may ALLAH guide him. But to those who genuinely wish to learn and practice what is right, here are sufficient proofs from the Qur'an, Ahadeeth, and learned scholars.

The Beard according to the Great Imams of Jurisprudence
Hanafi
Imam Muhammed (R.A.) writes in his book "Kitabul Aathaar" where he relates from Imam Abu Hanifa (R.A.) who relates from Hadhrat Haytham (R.A.) who relates from Ibn Umar (R.A.) that he (Ibn Umar) used to hold his beard in his hand and cut off which was longer. Imam Muhammed (R.A.) says that this is what we follow and this was the decision of Imam Abu Hanifa. Therefore, according to Hanafies, to shorten the beard less than a FIST LENGTH is HARAAM and on this is IJMA (concensus of opinion).
Shafi'i
Imam Shafi (R.A.) in his Kitabul Umm states, "To shave the beard is HARAAM." (Shari Minhaj dar Shara Fasl Aqueeqa).
Maaliki
Shekh Ahmad Nafarawi Maliki in the commentary of Imam Abu Zayed's booklet states, "to shave the beard is without doubt haraam according to all Imams." It is also mention in "Tamheed" which is a commentary of "Muatta" (Sunnan Imam Malik (R.A.)) that to shave the beard is HARAAM and among males the only ones to resort to this practice (of shaving) are the HERMAPHRODITES (persons who possess both male and female features and characteristics).
Hanbali
The Hanbalies in the famous Al-Khanie'a Hanbali Fatawa Kitab state that "to grow the beard is essential and to shave it is HARAAM." Also in the Hanbali Mathab books "Sharahul Muntahaa" and "Sharr Manzoomatul Aadaab", it is stated "The most accepted view is that it is HARAAM (prohibited to shave the beard)."
Also note, according to scholars of Islam: "To shave off the beard is unlawful (haraam) and one who shaves his beard is legally speaking an unrighteous fellow (FASIQ); hence, it is NOT PERMISSIBLE to appoint such a man as an Imam. To say Taraweeh behind such an Imam is MAKRUH-E-TAHRIMI (near prohibition)" (Shami Vol.1, p.523)
The Durre-Mukhtar states: "No one has called it permissible to trim it (the beard) less than FIST-LENGTH as is being done by some westernized Muslims and hermaphrodites." (Vol. 2, p. 155). Also, "It is forbidden (haraam) for a man to cut off another's beard." (Vol. 5, p. 359). @
