| [slm] THE BEAUTY OF THE BEARD 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 Prophets 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 [saw]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 here 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 difference 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; The envy of Malaysian people 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!!!!!"

[/quote] [quote] Ya Allah, I hope the poem above is a joke...coz, its making me cringe! [/quote] Yea i really think that musafir was joking about things which sis Barr is referring to and even if he's not then it really was a joke and i dint like the lyrics that i quoted above from his post, so intentionally or unintentionally he has made fun of sunnah... and i wont say more about ppl who make fun of sunnah well i know this new convert to islaam from turkey, she is looking forward to marrying a bearded man, thumbs up for her, the reason i'm mentioning this here is that, my brother who wrote or just pasted this poem was generalizing about sisters not wanting to marry bearded men sis Barr's reply was just natural but even then, i'm feeling bad about the whole thing!! i dont know what else to say than, i've got really cute men around me with beards, they dont look like what sis Barr or others dislike coz obviously these brothers have got everything in shape, my elder brother is just one example (husan-e-yusuf :) and hes 6'2 mashAllah) and believe you me, many ladies would select him rather than a non-bearded handsome guy, but it shouldn't be all about the looks, that i know quite well alhamdolillah but i'm made to say all that by the previous posts Its not a good idea to start posting the pics of those bearded guys who i spoke off here in this thread, but if i could then bro "musafir" could have a nice idea that how can beards look the best (even 2-4 inches one's) and furthermore sisters could know that ......that.... whatever......... i know i know, i beginning to talk stupid, so i rest my case here GUYS: The ladies should beautify themselves for their husbands, right?, so one should "beautify" one's self for one's wife as well, its her right and your obligation (thats what i think) and i'm bearded too :) ... its suits be better than the clean shave but thats not the reason why i'm bearded :) .. n e wayz, i'm willing to send my snap to brother mufasir so that he may see! what i've spoken off about "shaped" beards :) ................................................................. c'mon brother few lyrics showed frustration!!! plz modify this part that sis Barr pointed out [quote]Ya, Allah, pls guide us, and save us from messy, nesty beards, manly ape or a feiinine monkey wearing pink, not just beards that they rub to think.... [/quote] bro musafir: or lemme send you my pic ;) |
