As something strange and weird,
My relatives often make fun of me,
By asking, who broke your heart?
My distant friends ask me,
Did you join any terrorist camp?
My close friends at times make fun of me,
'Hey man, blades are very cheap nowadays'
Women often ask me,
Why don't you shave that ugly beard,
And be like a charming Super star?
You look boring!
I feel sorry for my sisters,
As their minds are now totally corrupted inside the web of clean-shaved star icons,
As they 'are the new age' trend setters.
But very few know that I follow a super star.
His name is Muhammed,
The forgotten hero.
And i have no regrets as he has taught me,
'This world is a prison for a believer
And paradise for a non-believer'.
So wake up, o muslim youth!
Remember, this world is a testing place
And dont let your senses deceive you.
So be proud to imitate,
The prophetic style.
For he has commanded us,
'Grow your beard and trim your moustaches'.
And he who loves his sunnah,
he indeed loves him.
And he who loves him will be with him in paradise.
The above was sent to me by a friend who found it on Sunniforrum.
I have uploaded it for someone very close,
I Pray to Allah he makes it easy for him
and all those who have intend to grow their beard.
Aameen.
Glorified be He who beautifies women with long locks of hair
And Men with long beards
There is beauty in the beard
Aye, there is beauty in the beard!
When the lion roars all the animals submit
For the lion is the king of the jungle
The lion with its glorious mane
And a Muslim man grows his mane in pride
Showing the rest of humanity that he is to be respected
Can one imagine a lion without its mane?
Nay, thou canst not!
Then imagine a man without his beard
Woe to worldly women who mock the beards so!
Desiring husbands with clean shaven faces
Woe to women who mock the Prophet's Sunnah
In the name of hygiene, neatness and smooth texture
Indeed the women of this world cannot like the beard
But she who wants Paradise adores the beard!
A beard is a gift given to man
Something only he can grow; a woman never can!
When he ponders, he gently strokes it;
When he eats, it stores food;
When he is with kids, they play with it adoringly;
When he is with his wife, she fondles it lovingly;
When the enemy see it, fear is struck in their hearts!
Ah! there is indeed beauty in the beard!
All the Prophets had beards - yes they did!
Muhammad had a beard - so big! so big!
All the companions had beards - o yes! o yes!
All the sages had beards - I know! I know!
All the wise have beards - tis true! tis true!
All the pious have beards - you see! you see!
All the Muslims have beards?! - if only! if only!
Who did not have beards? The kafirun!
Who had clean shaven faces? The kafirun!
Who grew their moustaches? The kafirun!
"And what did our Prophet order?" I hear you ask
He ordered us to lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
Lengthen the beard and trim the moustache!
What greater reason that this can there be
The fact that our Prophet told us to see
That we make ourselves appear to the world
As full bearded men with honour untold
O Muslim brother! Why do you desire to look like a woman
When your blessed facial hair is the differece between you and the
opposite gender?
O poor Muslim brother! Why do you imitate the kafir
Instead of following the Prophet of Islam?
O silly Muslim sister! Why are you so blind?
Infatuated with Bollywood actors who have no mind!
O wretched sister! Are you not scared of your choice?
You would rather have a feminine monkey instead of an exalted manly ape!
So indeed I love my beard
And adore the curls and tangles
Which no oil, gel or superglue can ever straighten
My glorious long, curly, messy, fluffy beard!
The playhouse for kids;
And the beloved of Allah!
I maybe rejected by worldly women because of this hair on my face
But who care! For my Mum loves it and she puts all such sisters to disgrace!
Be patient Muslim brothers, who shun the trendy look for a Prophetic pose
Paradise with the wide eyed Houris is our final abode!!!
